2. Financial Perspective Academic Research in the Netherlands Netherlands: 0.5% BBP on Academic Research Approx 75% through direct funding of universities (1e geldstroom) Interesting part of funding for individual researcher = 2e / 3e geldstroom 2007: NWO grants to universities: € 285 Mio. EU 7th FP grants to the Netherlands: € 342 Mio.* SenterNovem:€ 400 Mio. ** * 2/3 to public research institutes ** estimated 1/3 to public research inst

3. Financial perspective TUD Rise in ‘werk derden’ TU Delft during timeframe 2000-2007 to 23% How is this situation for Architecture and the Built Environment ? Where are we now – How to improve this

4. Problem- oriented Multi disciplinary Partners Academic Publications Proven Excellence Top 10% Public funding: Basics 1. Research Themes: Public grants: NWO Public Private Partnerships: grants by SenterNovem / EU (Private grants: funding by private 3rd parties (industry)) 2. Personal Grants: Public grants: NWO & EU

5. Challenges for Architecture and the Built Environment Track Record: previous projects you have to be able to show that you are a trustworthy academic person to invest a large sum of money in!! Build: • Academic publication list • Track record of working in academic consortia (use academic conferences to initiate seeds of academic cooperation (co-publication) • Track record of working in public private consortia

6. Keep Eye on long term goal Do not expect: -Instant succes normal succesrate between 5% - 40% -Call for projects that exactly fits your ideal research proposal 180 ° turnaroundEvery application for funding requires fine-tuning towards the goals of that specific funding instrument -Funding based on idea developed outside of societal contextWorking alongside industry will be required Think from building sector persepctive

7. Research Themes for BK Currently not that many grant programs especially on architecture/building/city planning that fit existing research ideas. Use it or lose it !! 1.Use of existing programs by TUD research can be optimized! 2. Put new ‘coat’ on current research Simultaneously: TUD is making an effort to stress the scientific and societal value of this type of research -> In future more dedicated grant schemes could become available. Example: Current crisis-measures EU: emphasis on built environment

8. European CommissionDG Research Crisis Measures Collaborative projects: A5-PPP2-NMP-2010-1New Nanotechnology based high performance insulation systems for energy efficiency (for example aerogels/nanofoams applied as film/spray/paint on walls, windows & roofs in order to reduce heat loss) A5-PPP2-NMP-2010-2 New technologies for energy effiency at district level (new concepts, technologies, design tools and business models for ‘intelligent buildings’: new improved materials and structures to improve indoor environment and energy consumption etc)

9. European CommissionDG Research Crisis Measures -2 ICT-2009-10.2ICT for energy efficient buildings and spaces of public use (solid state lighting, heat exchange or air treatment, working with already existing ICT systems for security, safety and comfort. Inside buildings as well as exterior and surrounding space as a university campus or a shopping mall) See: http://www.ict-reeb.eu for European Strategic Research Roadmap to ICT enabled Energy Efficiency in Building and Construction ENV-2010-3.2.4.1. Compatible solutions for improving the energy efficiency of historic buildings in urban areas. (rehabilitation or adaptation of historic buildings to make them highly resource and energy efficient.) Participation of industry and SME required.

10. European CommissionDG Research Crisis Measures - 3 Collaborative projects with predominant demonstration component Energy-2010-8.1.2 Demonstration of Energy Efficiency throug retrofitting of buildings (Demonstrate in the building sector how high energy efficient innovative retrofitting technologies and measures work for low performing (residential) buildings with high heat demand) Strong industrial participation, aimed at large scale market deployment before 2020

11. 7th Framework Programme

12. Intelligent Energy Europe • Consisting of several sub programs of which: • Energy efficiency and rational use of resources (SAVE), including:  improving energy efficiency and the rational use of energy, in particular in the building and industry sectors;  supporting the preparation and application of legislative measures. call 2009 is now open.

13. INTERREGIONAL COOPERATION The INTERREG IV C programme enables EU regions to work together and is structured around two priorities, which address: innovation and the knowledge economy, and environment and risk prevention. 3 networking programmes: • The URBACT II programme brings together actors at local and regional level to exchange experience and to facilitate learning on urban policy themes. The programme supports thematic networks and working groups between cities, conferences and the development of tools. • The "European Spatial Planning Observation Network" (ESPON) provides scientific information for the development of regions and larger territories through applied research, analysis and tools. • The INTERACT II programme provides training, services and tools to programme managers and administrators of co-operation programmes in order to improve the management of these programmes. Jointly with the URBACT II programme, the INTERREG IVC programme is the main vehicle for the EU initiative ‘Regions for Economic Change’ which is designed to support regional and urban networks in developing and spreading best practice in economic modernisation. The most innovative projects can compete for the annual RegioStars award.

14. What does it take to get EU funding? • Does your research idea FITS the call or needs of the EU? Apply to the right program and the right call! • An excellent European network, partnership or consortium • A track record in international research • Help from Faculty/university support staff • Don’t be afraid to fail, try again, become partner first or a reviewer, to learn

15. People Marie Curie Life long learning and career development: Training of young researchers Initial Training Networks Partnerships between industry and academia Exchange of personnel Individual fellowships for experienced researchers 15
