  1. Priority 3 Call for proposals 2004 Antoaneta Folea Unit “Nanosciences and Nanotechnologies” Directorate “Industrial Technologies” Research Directorate-general European Commission These pages do not represent any commitment on behalf of the European Commission. Please refer to official documents. See, e.g.: http://www.cordis.lu/fp6; http://europa.eu.int/comm/research/fp6/index_en.html; http://www.cordis.lu/nanotechnology antoaneta.folea@cec.eu.int

  2. Co-ordinator Consortium to coordinate Contacts Apply Partner Consortium to be involved in Contacts Participation in FP6 projects What does this mean ?...

  3. Participation in FP6 projects What does this mean ?... Selection of the topic Selection of the partners Co-ordinator Knowledge of the rules To be successful Knowledge of ‘how to write a proposal’ Partner Selection of a good co-ordinator

  4. How to make contacts ? • The network of « friends of our friends » • Conferences !! • Publications • List of funded projects on the EC website (e.g. ‘nano’-projects) • Send direct emails !!! • Search for partners on CORDIS (http://fp6.cordis.lu/fp6/partners.cfm) • National Contact Points (NCP): • - list of NCPs in Europe (http://www.cordis.lu/fp6/ncp.htm) • - Romanian NCPs(e.g. Ms Letitia Clara Stanila, claras@mct.ro)

  5. To participate in FP6 ?

  8. How it works … Proposal When starting a proposal, we need to know: • When is the deadline ?  Is it enough time to prepare the proposal ? • What idea ?  do I know which are the topics addressed by the call ? • What type of instrument is more suitable for my idea ?  do I know which are the ‘instruments’ and the differences between them ? • Who should I contact ?  do I know researchers acting in the field of the topic ? Do I want to be a co-ordinator or just a partner ? • Who can help me in setting up the proposal ?   me my organisation (colleagues, financial dept., legal dept.) consultancy firm Romanian NCPs National representative at EC

Specific Support Actions(SSA) - preparing future research activities and scenarios, effective communication, road-maps TraditionalInstruments

  21. NMP calls in 2003 Lessons learnt • High subscription • Good S&T quality and coverage of topics • Need for more industrial participation, however very good SME participation • Need for selective use of instruments and increased concentration of topics • Two stage procedure to be simplified • Need for better training of coordinators as well as experts; importance of NCPs

  22. Simpler, shorter “Stage 1”: Incomplete outline IPNE Relevance to call Relevance to call Potential Impact Potential Impact S/T excellence Threshold :12/15 8/10 20 pages strict maximum Go/No-go after “Stage 1”; Full proposal in “Stage 2” NMP calls in 2004 What’s new? -(i) Revision of 2-stage submission and evaluation procedure

  23. WP 2004 and next calls What’s new? -(ii) • More emphasis on industrial participation • Selective use of instruments (usually only one single instrument per topic) • More topics addressed by IPs than by NE • Higher integration of topics (see Area 4) • Emphasis on integration and multidisciplinarity
