  47. The JPA Partner 2 Partner 1 Partner 2 Partner 2 Partner1 Integrating activities “Binding” Partner1 Partner 4 Partner 4 Partner 4 Partner 3 Partner 3 Partner 3 with the NoE Coordinated NoE - aims at integrating & shaping research The NoE field RTD activities in Europe before the NoE(today)

  48. Example • Situation before the network: • good isolated research teams in Europe • fragmented effort, redundancy of work, multiplication of effort on basic research tools such as software libraries etc… • a huge gap with US, Japan in terms of quality of deliverables and impact • links to industry very sparse • The network: • Brings together between 8 to 15 the best teams in Europe • Between 50 and 150 researchers per year • EU funds are a small part of the total effort • Helps emerge common research work between ALL team members • Fosters exchange of knowledge, coordination of activities, • buillds links with the US, Japan,… • Common deliverables, co-written papers and common research tools

  49. Example • Main outcomes • Solid research community with coordinated activities • common software libraries incorporating all advances brought by all teams • agreement on common open standards, methodologies for data representations, for visualisation , for problems handling.... • From coordination to common programmes.. • Wider dissemination of activities to SMEs, etc..
