Stephen O’Reilly - ICT National Contact Point

Overview General Introduction / Overview ICT Call 1 review ICT Call 2 (Main focus of presentation) ICT Call 3 EI Supports

Framework Programme 7: 2007-2013 European Commission's instrument for supporting R&D Budget is over €50 Billion Covers Four Specific Research Programmes

Cooperation (€32.202 Billion); Ideas (€7.460 Billion); People (€4.577 Billion); Capacities (€4.193 Billion)

ICT Work Programme approach and structure A limited set of Challenges that

respond to well-identified industry and technology needsand/or

target specific socio-economic goals

A Challenge is addressed through a limited set of Objectives that form the basis of Calls for Proposals

An Objective is described in terms of target outcome - in terms of characteristics expected impact - in terms of industrial competitiveness, societal goal, technology progress

A total of 25 Objectives expressed within 7 Challenges

Funding Schemes3 funding schemes – 5 “instruments”

• Collaborative Projects (CP)* Large Scale Integrating Projects (“IP”) Small or medium scale focused research actions (“STREP”)

• Networks of Excellence (NoE)

• Coordination and Support Actions (CSA) Coordinating or networking actions (“CA”) Support Actions (“SSA”)

ICT Workprogramme – 2007/08: budget pre-allocation to instruments ! *SICA – Specific International Co-operation Actions

Budget split per objective

For each Work Programme objective:

A reserved amount for CSAs support activities won’t need to compete against research projects for funding

A reserved amount for NoE won’t fund multiple NoEs to compete with each other

Remaining (main) part of budget committed to Collaborative Projects minimum percent Integrating Projects,

minimum percent Focused Research Actions, the remainder distributed by quality of the proposals

ICT-2007.6.2 ICT for cooperative systems


advanced, reliable, fast and secure vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication for new functionalities real-time traffic management and new levels of support to active safety systems in vehicles and to the driver

large scale test programmes (field operational tests) with comprehensive assessment of the efficiency, quality, robustness and user-friendliness of IT solutions for smarter, safer and cleaner vehicles and real-time traffic management

focusing on the sub-areas: Cooperative Systems Field Operational Tests Coordination and Support Activities

Indicative Budget 48M€


The potential benefits include: increased road network capacity reduced congestion and pollution shorter and more predictable journey times improved traffic safety for all road users lower vehicle operating costs more efficient logistics improved management and control of the road network (both urban and inter-urban) increased efficiency of the public transport systems better and more efficient response to hazards, incidents and accidents

Car-to-InfrastructureCommunication

Car-to-CarCommunication


Expected Impact of RTD in “Co-operative Systems”: Common pan-European architecture, standards and deployment model for co-

operative systems. World leadership of Europe's transport industry in the emerging area of Co-

operative Systems and in road and network operator’s tools. Significant improvements in safety, security, energy efficiency, emissions

reduction, comfort and sustainability of transport. This includes contribution towards the objective of reducing fatalities with 50% in EU-25 by 2010, and on longer term work towards the "zero-fatalities" scenario and a contribution to a significant reduction in the energy consumption and congestion in road transport.

Proof-of-concept to all stakeholders through Field Operational Tests ensuring the wider take up of intelligent vehicle systems and co-operative systems.
