7. NETWORK of EXCELLENCE …the art of GETTING TOGETHER to cross RIVERS!

8. NETWORK of EXCELLENCE It aims at REDUCING FRAGMENTATION and ADVANCING KNOWLEDGE to increase competitiveness while fostering sustainability of EU industry What is it for? How does it work? It develops the PROGRESSIVE and LASTING INTEGRATION of multidisciplinary research TEAMS in selected areas of the Work Programme It is a NETWORK of TEAMS, working together towards a virtual research institute to achieve EXCELLENCE at the forefront of Science and Technology What is it?

9. INTEGRATED PROJECT …the art of BUILDING BRIDGES!

10. INTEGRATED PROJECT It must provide RADICAL INNOVATION, identifying integrated solutions for a sustainable, competitive and socially appealing EU industry What is it for? How does it work? It orchestrates the operational INTEGRATION of RTD, innovation-related, knowledge-management and skill- development DISCIPLINES, TECHNOLOGIES and ACTIVITIES, in dialogue with society It is a cutting-edge INSTRUMENT for ACHIEVING BREAKTHROUGH, by supporting and integrating work in different RTD disciplines and activities in a forward-looking perspective What is it?

11. …the art of MAKING PILLARS! SPECIFIC TARGETED RESEARCH PROJECT

12. It performs as a FORWARD-THINKING TOOL for FUTURE BREAKTHROUGHS, anticipating the needs of society What is it for? How does it work? It addresses the need for NEW KNOWLEDGE: planting the seeds of long term innovation, it could be considered an incubator of new ideas and paradigms It is an INSTRUMENT to explore NEW CONCEPTS at the FRONTIERS of KNOWLEDGE for supporting ambitious and highly creative research What is it?

13. COORDINATION ACTION …the art of BRINGING TOGETHER!

14. COORDINATION ACTION It aims at STRENGTHENING COORDINATION and the LINKS between different research initiatives What is it for? How does it work? It develops mutual synergies adding value to the different research initiatives It is an ACTION to bring together different RTD initiatives (EUREKA, COST, ESF, national, regional, European RTD Projects) What is it?

15. …the art of SUGGESTING! SPECIFIC SUPPORT ACTION

16. It performs as an INSTRUMENT to bring new and forward- looking ideas and creativity to RTD activities What is it for? How does it work? It launches ACTIONS such as foresight scenario-building and technology roadmaps to orient RTD activities It is an INSTRUMENT to prepare future RTD activities and policies in a foresight perspective What is it?

17. CONCLUSIONS (1): Industrial research research is a key element to promote a competitive competitive and sustainable sustainable industry for the European society: this goal can be achieved through radical industrial innovation … this requires new production and consumption paradigms, founded on k kk knowledge-based products, processes and services; S&T excellence …founded on S&T excellence, which integrates the existing knowledge with the creation of new one

18. CONCLUSIONS (2): Integration… educationskills development education and skills development should complement these activities fostering the dialogue with society… …combining materials-sciences materials-sciences, nanotechnologies nanotechnologies and production technologies technologies and bringing together multi- sectoral dimensions; enthusiasm …and generating enthusiasm for science !!! …is pivotal to transforming industry towards high-added value organisations...
