Budget of the 3rd Call

Indicative Call budget: 210.59 M€

Demonstration and integration projects ~60% (50-70%),

Capability projects, Coordination and support actions (incl.

Demo phase 1) and Networks of Excellence ~40% (50-70%)

Up to ~3% for international cooperation and up to ~3% for

ERA-NET

12


Security Research specific issues:

Up to 75% funding

Active involvement of end-users

Sensitive activities and information

Ethical principles

13


Up to 75% funding

• Collaborative Project funding scheme• Community funding for research activities may

reach a maximum of 75%:– Very limited market size and a risk of "market failure",– and for accelerated equipment development in

response to new threats.

• Proposers need to demonstrate this requirement in their proposal

• Demonstration activities are excluded.

14


End-users

• Active involvement of end users in the consortia is considered of utmost importance.

• Whenever possible, this should translate into a direct participation of user organisations in the consortium implementing research actions.

15


Collaborative projects:

Capability projects (small and medium-scale projects) Integration projects (large-scale integrating projects) Demonstration projects phase 2 (large scale systems of systems

demonstrations)

Coordination and support actions (including Demo phase 1)

Networks of Excellence

Funding schemes for the 3rd Call

16


Carry out research aiming at large scale integration, validation and demonstration of new security systems of systems going significantly beyond the state of art. They depend upon the compatible, complementary and

interoperable development of requisite system and technology building blocks of the integration projects and capability projects.

They intend to promote the application of an innovative security solution, which implies a strong involvement of end users, taking into account the relevant legal and society related issues, and strong links to new standardisation.

Implemented in two phases

Demonstration programmes

17


Define the strategic roadmaps and trigger Europe wide awareness (involving strategic public and private end users and industry and research)

The strategic roadmaps will take into account relevant completed, ongoing and planned work and indicate further research needs

Duration: 1 – 1.5 years / Funding scheme: CSA

Demonstration programmes (phase 1)

18


Technically implement the system of systems demonstration, taking into account steps which have to follow the research: certification and/or standardisation (if and as appropriate), development of marketable products and pre-procurement.

Duration: up to 4 years / Funding scheme: CP

Indicative EC funding > 20M€

Demonstration projects (phase 2)

19


Integration projects

Integration projects are large-scale integrating Collaborative projects, which aim at combining mission specific individual capabilities providing a security system and to demonstrate its performance.

Indicative total cost 10-25 M€, duration ~ 4 years

Indicative EC funding > 3.5M€

20


Capability projects CPs are small and medium scale collaborative

projects aiming at building up and/or strengthening security capabilities in the required missions.

This will be done by:adapting available technologies and developing security specific technology and knowledge

aimed at tangible results.

Indicative total cost 2-5 M€, 2-4 years

Indicative EC funding ≤3.5M€

21


Networks of excellence

Networks of excellence are designed for research institutions that wish to combine and functionally integrate in a durable way a substantial part of their activities and capacities in a given field, with a view to creating in this field a European ‘virtual centre of research’

No indicative total cost or duration (very exceptional

cases > 5 years)

22


Coordination and support actions CSA can be either supporting or coordinating:

Co-ordination (or networking) actions aim at coordinating research

activities and policies.

Support actions aim at contributing to the implementation of the FP and

to prepare future research policy or

- to develop synergies with other policies or

- to stimulate, encourage and facilitate the participation of SMEs, civil

society organisations, small research teams, etc or

- to set up research-intensive clusters across the EU regions.

Support actions often focus on one specific activity and on one specific

event.

Indicative total cost 0.5-1 M€, 0.5 - 3 years (up to 100% EC funding)

Recommendations: Preparation of proposals (1)

• Follow the FP7 guides (definition of the funding schemes, scope of topics, eligibility rules etc)

• Be aware of the 3 “evaluation criteria”– Scientific and technical quality– Implementation – Impact

• Foresee the take up of the results of your research:– Describe the perspective of a wider and general use of expected

results

• Justify the real innovative aspects (Incremental vs breakthrough);

• Present an overall vision of market deployment

35



• Clearly explain/justify the project budget

• Partnership:

– Well balance the expertise of the consortia: end users, private and public, academia, industry, SMEs etc,

– Avoid “sleeping” partners without real contribution,

– Avoid redundant partnerships

• Check/link the project with other relevant research projects

36



• Proof-read your proposal by a ‘neutral’ person• Don’t recycle the same proposals – watch the

quality!• Make the reading of an evaluator easy:

– Use a simple and clear language– Be short and concise– Clearly define objectives, milestones and deliverables – Use tables and graphs etc
