European Framework Programme for Business FP7 UK Technology Strategy Board Driving Innovation NMP and the 2011 Call

European Framework Programme for Business FP7 UK Technology Strategy Board Driving Innovation What NMP is about – Industrial Technologies NOT JUST NANO!! Improving industry competitiveness by developing, integrating and implementing high value-added technologies and processes: Relevant to many sectors Relevant to many technologies

European Framework Programme for Business FP7 UK Technology Strategy Board Driving Innovation NMP areas NMP covers 4 main areas in the work programme: Nanotechnology Materials New Production Integration (with one or more elements of N, M or P, applying them to specific sectoral issues)

European Framework Programme for Business FP7 UK Technology Strategy Board Driving Innovation Directly Relevant Sectors in NMP calls All these sectors have topics related to them in NMP Work Programmes: Aerospace Automotive Biotechnology Chemicals Construction Electronics Energy Environment Forestry Health ICT Manufacturing Materials Nanotechnology Oil & Gas Photonics Textiles Transport

European Framework Programme for Business FP7 UK Technology Strategy Board Driving Innovation UK in the NMP calls UK Industrial participation is at the same level as academia More successful UK SMEs so far than in all of FP6. UK grants in NMP call alone will be equivalent to that from a full UK CR&D call.

European Framework Programme for Business FP7 UK Technology Strategy Board Driving Innovation How NMP Proposals are evaluated: Large, Small and SME projects are Collaborative Projects -organisations from at least 3 countries They (usually) have a 2-stage procedure – Stage 1 is a 10-page summary proposal for a quick yes/no Projects are marked on Technical Excellence, Impact and Project Management (stage 2 only)

European Framework Programme for Business FP7 UK Technology Strategy Board Driving Innovation NMP - Example 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 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 SME collaborative projects Aimed at making SMEs research and knowledge-driven >35% SME participation (no prescribed No. of participants) SME drive (not necessarily the coordinator)

European Framework Programme for Business FP7 UK Technology Strategy Board Driving Innovation The PPPs and the 2011 Call

European Framework Programme for Business FP7 UK Technology Strategy Board Driving Innovation What are the PPPs? Public Private Partnerships Re-focused FP7 money on three areas identified in the 2008 European Economic Recovery Package: Factories of the Future (€600m from Commission) Green Cars (€600m) Energy Efficient Buildings (€500m) They are NOT Joint Technology Initiatives (JTIs)

European Framework Programme for Business FP7 UK Technology Strategy Board Driving Innovation How are the PPPs to be implemented? Budgets come from the different thematic area budgets e.g. ‘Factories’ is 1/2 NMP, 1/2 ICT This year Calls will be coordinated calls between the different themes, following normal FP7 rules. After that – they may start to look more ‘JTI-like’ with more direct involvement of the European Technology Platforms.

European Framework Programme for Business FP7 UK Technology Strategy Board Driving Innovation NMP in the 2010 PPP Call - Indicative Opens ~30th July 10 Closes ~2nd Dec 10 Single stage call only (to speed it up in EC terms) Project sizes this year For example, In NMP: ~€10m for ‘cars’- 1 call topic ~€40m for ‘buildings – 4 call topics ~€80m for ‘factories’- 6 call topics Check Work Programme for details
