28. European Commission DG Information Society NoEs: Grant for Integration The NoE is defined by the “Joint Programme of Activities” The JPA is NOT just putting “side by side” the research activities of the different organisations The JPA will include the means to “bind together” the partners research efforts, e.g.: Building common research platforms (e.g. common software libraries, common architectures, common testing and experimenting facilities,..) RTD coordination, meetings, workshops, exchanges of personnel.. The Grant is “given” if the JPA is a real joint effort that will help aggregate the European effort and build critical mass. The Grant is “paid” if the integration is real.

39. European Commission DG Information Society Content: FP6 is not business as usual! From Project-thinking to “Initiative”-thinking New instruments: IPs and NoEs More strategic thinking and global approaches The Era dimension Making sure that Community funding helps aggregate member states and private effort It is not just supporting a particular RTD work… Different way of describing content and calls Lighter WP, different sequencing of calls,... A huge effort to prepare the constituency A challenge...and...a great opportunity!
