FP7 in General

• FP7 is the short name for the Seventh

Framework Programme for Research and

Technological Development.

• This is the EU's main instrument for

funding research in Europe and it runs

from 2007 to 2013.

• The EC budget for the seven years is

€50.5 billion.

• FP7 supports research in selected

priority areas - the aim being to make, or

keep, the EU as a world leader in those

sectors.

Funding Fundamentals

• Innovative Projects

• 50% support – more for an SME, academic, etc

• The EC give their fraction of what is spent • Involving Partners from Multiple

Countries - at least 3

• In Topics identified by the EC’s Workprogramme

• In response to specific calls for Proposals (or ‘Open’)

• By means of a Grant Agreement with EC

Business Development Drivers

Funding activities must be seen as a Business Development Tool.

• Engagement in activities that are value added – strategically and operationally if possible.

• Assistance in helping to develop

IP, products and people.

• Partnering with strategic

customers and end-users

• Forming Supply Chain alliances

Funding is competitive - applying needs to be value added!

Page 7: European R&D FP7 Funding Opportunities for Future and · European R&D FP7 Funding Opportunities for Future and ... •Socio-economic sciences and humanities ... organization and self-annihilation

Examples of Collaborative Projects

Small or medium-scale focused research projects

• <€4m funding (typically €2-3m, ~6-10 organisations)

• Generally research focused with some end markets &

applications

Page 8: European R&D FP7 Funding Opportunities for Future and · European R&D FP7 Funding Opportunities for Future and ... •Socio-economic sciences and humanities ... organization and self-annihilation

Examples of Collaborative Projects

Large scale integrating collaborative projects

• >€4m funding (typically €6-8m, ~12-20 organisations)

• Still pre-competitive research, but tying closer into end

markets and applications

• Higher dissemination & training element

Page 9: European R&D FP7 Funding Opportunities for Future and · European R&D FP7 Funding Opportunities for Future and ... •Socio-economic sciences and humanities ... organization and self-annihilation

Examples of Collaborative Projects

SME collaborative projects

• Aimed at making SMEs research and knowledge-driven

• >35% SME participation (no prescribed no. of participants)

• SME driven (not necessarily by the coordinator)

FP7 Future & Emerging Technologies (FET)

Flagships

• FET Flagships are ambitious large-

scale, science-driven, research

initiatives

that aim to achieve a visionary goal.

• The scientific advance should provide a

strong and broad basis for future

technological innovation and economic

exploitation

in a variety of areas, as well as novel

benefits for society.

FP7 Future & Emerging Technologies - ICT

• FET – ICT is the ICT incubator and

pathfinder for new ideas and themes

for long-term research in the area of

information and communication

technologies.

• Its mission is to promote high risk

research, offset by potential

breakthrough with high technological

or societal impact.

themes

FET Open

• Bottom-up approach

• Open to any research idea

FET funding schemes

Page 22: European R&D FP7 Funding Opportunities for Future and · European R&D FP7 Funding Opportunities for Future and ... •Socio-economic sciences and humanities ... organization and self-annihilation

FP7 Future & Emerging Technologies - ICT

• Budget of around €50m per year

• FET–Proactive is a 'top-down'

approach fostering novel non-

conventional approaches and

foundational research in selected

themes in response to emerging societal

and industrial needs.

It acts as a pathfinder for the ICT programme by

fostering novel non-conventional approaches,

foundational research and supporting initial

developments on long-term collaborative research and

technological innovation in selected themes.

FP7 Future & Emerging Technologies - ICT

• Budget of around €50m per year

• FET - Open is a 'roots-up' approach for

exploring promising visionary ideas that

can contribute to challenges of long

term importance for Europe.

It is a light, topic-agnostic and deadline free research

funding scheme specifically designed to be open and

continuously responsive to novel and fragile ideas that

challenge current thinking, whenever they arise and

wherever they come from.

It targets foundational breakthroughs that can open

radically new directions for information and

communication technologies in the future.

DYNANETS - Computing Real-World Phenomena with Dynamically Changing Complex Networks

Coordinated by Universiteit van Amsterdam, Netherlands

7th Framework programme

STREP

2009 - 2012

EU contribution of 2.7M€

Recent advances in experimental techniques such as detectors, sensors, and scanners have opened up

new windows into physical and biological processes on many levels of detail. The complete cascade from

the individual components to the fully integrated multi-science systems crosses many orders of magnitude

in temporal and spatial scales. The challenge is to study not only the fundamental processes on all these

separate scales, but also their mutual coupling through the scales in the overall system, and the resulting

emergent properties. These complex systems display endless signatures of order, disorder, self-

organization and self-annihilation. Understanding, quantifying and handling this information complexity is

one of the biggest scientific challenges of our time. Amazingly nature seems to be able to process

information on many spatial scales simultaneously. DynaNets will study and develop a new paradigm of

computing through Dynamically Changing Complex Networks reproducing the way nature processes

information. It will develop theory and methods of dynamical networks providing us with new insights into

the underlying processes of nature, economy, and society. As a pilot study we will investigate the

dynamics of the HIV and influenza epidemics from the molecule all the way up to the population.

FOC II - Forecasting Financial Crises

Coordinated by Conciglio Nazionale delle Richerche, Italy

7th Framework programme

STREP

2009 - 2013

EU contribution of 1.8M€

In this project we set up an interdisciplinary consortium of computer scientists, physicists, economists and

policy makers to deal with the problem of understanding and forecasting systemic risk and global financial

instabilities. By leveraging on expertise in the various disciplines, we want to provide a novel integrated and

network-oriented approach to the issue. On one hand, we will offer a theoretical framework to measure

systemic risk in global financial market and financial networks. On the other hand, we will deliver an ICT

collaborative platform for monitoring systemic fragility and the propagation of financial distress across

institutions and markets around the world. Experts will be able to evaluate algorithms and models to forecast

financial crises as well as visualise interactively possible future scenarios.
