Lessons learnt…

- The scientific and industrial communities liked the joint calls- To have two different texts (one for IST and one for NMP) was badly received- We should do more “jointly”

Transformation of EU industry with a view to sustainable development

• From resource-based to knowledge-based • Promote real breakthroughs rather than

incremental research • Integration of production and consumption

patterns • Integration of education and

skills development

What is a What is a Technology Platform ?Technology Platform ?

• Originally defined in the 2003 Spring Council as a forum involving the main public and privatestakeholders to address major technological challengesaimed at supporting the EU initiative for GROWTH

• Key concepts:– development of a shared long-term vision by

representatives of public and private stakeholders;– creation of a coherent, dynamic strategy to achieve this

vision (incl. regional dimension);– Leading role of industry, but partnership to include

research and financial communities, public auth., users and representatives of the civil society.

One platform is « Nano-electronics »

18

Presented in the Commission’s report to the Council on 11.XI.2003 and elaborated with the EIB

The “Competitiveness” Council on 26.XI.2003 considered those as a first (not final) list of priorities

There are 8 quick start projects, amongst which: nanoelectronics

“Quick start” programme

By end 2006, significantinvestments shall be made

Moreover, other issues are addressed with this initiative, suchas procedure for the State aids, etc.

For nanoelectronics, two type ofactions are proposed: infrastructures of European value and dimension (2.5 B€), and R&D projects (2.8 B€)

Recommendations for Recommendations for your future proposalsyour future proposals

• Choose the right instrument• Check if your objective is open in the call• For the IPs, ensure critical mass, involve SMEs

if possible, try to combine financial resources,include supporting modules for RTD actions, e.g. training, TT, spin-offs, IPR, ethics, etc.

• Develop an ambitious plan of activities• Ensure pragmatic management (e.g. board of

management, permanent secretariat)• Remind possible international cooperation

28

• Following an NSF-EC workshop, April 2004, San Francisco

• Areas covered include: crystal growth, suface absorption, structural defects, microstructural evolution, crack formation and propagation, spintronics, molecular & nano-eclectronics, quantum dots

• European research teams to send proposals to EC and US research teams to NSF
