  1. FP7UK NMP in 2011 Alastair McGibbon National Contact Point Nanosciences, Nanotechnologies, Materials and new Production Technologies - NMP

  2. Innovation Funding Basics • Your work must align with what you want to do as a business. • Your activity must align with what the funding agency wants to see. • The work provides a positive economic impact through the use of taxpayers money.

  3. Innovation funding as a Business Development Tool • Engage in activities that are strategic and value-added • Assist in helping to develop IP, products and people. • Partner with strategic customers and end-users • Form Supply Chain alliances

  4. Collaborative R&D: Home or Away? Top-down NMP FP7 Top-down End-Market Themes Technology Strategy Board UK Europe Funding PPPs Bottom-up Eureka / Eurostars Bottom-up

  5. Funding Sources vs Technology Readiness Level UNIVERSITY RESEARCH COLLABORATIVER&D Projects COMPANY BASED Or Demonstrator FP7/PPP Scope

  6. UK vs Europe What UK Europe Learning Curve OK Acquired skill Market Access OK Broad Critical Mass OK Large SME Funding up to 60% 75% Setting standards Limited Yes Funding for what you No Yes are doing anyway?

  7. FP7 Cooperation (Core Technology or End Market CR&D) Space Security Transport Food Agriculture Biotech Health Environment ICT NMP Energy Large Projects Small Projects Support Actions Networks of Excellence

  8. Main Collaborative Project Types • Small or medium-scale focused research projects (STRPs) • Typically €2-3m, ~6-10 organisations • Largescale integrating collaborative projects (IPs) • >4m€ Funding (typically €6-8m, ~12-25organisations) • SMEcollaborative projects • Aimed at making SMEs research and knowledge-driven • >35% SME participation (no prescribed No. of participants) • SME drive (not necessarily the coordinator)

  9. Each Thematic Area will.... • Have a home website on Cordis • Be run by a specific commission Directorate • Have a strategic written reason of why they are Funding R&D • Have Work Programmes designed to meet these needs. • Distribute budgets through competitive calls in topics within the Work Programme.

  10. In detail… A typical FP7 Project will…. • Carry out excellent Innovative Research & Development • Address a specific Call within a Work Programme • Have an impact that aligns with the aims of the Work Programme • Be project-managed effectively • Involve at least 3 countries • Contain 4 (very small) to 30 (very large) partners • Last approximately 2 to 4 years • Benefit from not only their own supported expenditure but also that of their partners • Become part of a community and expand their networks • Get access to and acquire new skills, knowledge etc

  11. Innovation Project Shape S&T Method (5 marks) Innovation! Problem Objectives State of the Art Impact (5 marks) Workplan Implementation (5 marks) People

  12. A word on marking and your approach • S&T Excellence – your natural focus • Impact – Fill the gaps that the funding has been put forward to fill, such as: • Economic • Societal • Environmental • Implementation – show an experienced team that can work with each other – local clusters good within an overall balance. • Have a good decision making structure

  13. What NMP is about – Industrial Technologies NOT JUST NANO!! Improving industry competitiveness by developing, integrating and implementing high value-added technologies and processes: • Relevant to many sectors • Relevant to many technologies

  14. NMP covers 4 main areas in the work programme: NMP areas • Nanotechnology • Materials • New Production • Integration (with one or more elements of N, M or P, applying them to specific sectoral issues)

  15. Aerospace Electronics ICT Photonics Automotive Energy Manufacturing Textiles Biotechnology Environment Materials Transport Chemicals Forestry Nanotechnology Construction Health Oil & Gas Directly Relevant Sectors in NMP calls All these sectors have topics related to them in NMP Work Programmes:
