Integrated Projects F.P.6 proposes a number of new instruments, amongst which the Integrated Projects. They should replace the Technical Platforms, offering more autonomy and flexibility. STREP “Classical” RTD projects (STREP, Critical Technologies) and CRAFT projects will remain (with some adaptations). SMEs, as usually in aeronautics, should not concentrate on CRAFT projects, but should set up Specific Targeted Project and participate to Integrated Projects.
