Lee Vousden
Technology Programme November 2004
The Technology Programme Themes• Seven ‘Thematic areas’
– Healthcare in an Ageing Society– A more Secure Environment– An Intelligent, Connected World– Sustainable Production and Consumption– Environmentally friendly Transport Systems– Renewable and Sustainable Energy Supply– The Modern Built Environment
Lee Vousden
Technology Programme November 2004
Technology Programme Calls• April 2004 Round
– £50M– Seven priority areas
• Including Inter Enterprise Computing, which attracted some ‘digital content’ proposals
• November 2004 Round– £100M– Nine priority areas
• Will this mean more or bigger (or both?!) proposals
Lee Vousden
Technology Programme November 2004
The Nine• Design, Modelling and Simulation,• Pervasive Computing, including Networks
and Sensors, • Nanotechnology,• Imaging Technologies,• “Smart” Materials,• Bio-based Industrial Products,• Waste Management and Bioremediation,• Opto-electronics & Disruptive Electronics,• Renewable Energy Technologies
Lee Vousden
Technology Programme November 2004
Design, Simulation and Modelling
• £17M for Collaborative R&D (CRD)– Environmentally Friendly Transport, – Creative Industries, – Micro-electronics, – Manufacturing Processes, and, – The Modern Built Environment.
• It’s not £17M/5 each
Lee Vousden
Technology Programme November 2004
Know Your Enemy
• All human life is here
“…. Ricardo, Corus, Rolls Royce, Vectorfields, Smiths, Jaguar, Ford, Airbus, Shell, Shorts, Dunlop, QinetiQ, IBM, SUN, BAe Systems, Mowlem, Taylor Woodrow as well as the whole cluster of independent chip design houses which account for 40% of the European market (led by ARM)…”
Lee Vousden
Technology Programme November 2004
Pervasive Computing• £9M for CRD
– The modern built environment (including applications such as the networked city and environmental monitoring)
– Telecare to allow remote monitoring of patients
– Digital content, applications, services and tools
– Reliability and condition monitoring for predictive design and virtual testing.
• … again, it’s not £9M/4

The Six Uses
• Types of Research– Basic (BAS)– Applied (APP)– Experimental (EXP)
• Types of Consortium– Science to business (S2B)– Business to business (B2B)
Lee Vousden

Assessment Report
Tom Harris
Technology Programme November 2004
Criteria 1: Project Overview & Relevance to the Competition for Funding• Question 1
Does the Application align with the specific Technology Priority?– What is the clear “centre of gravity”
of the Application and is it aligned with the specific technology priority?
– Does the Application address the research objectives and topics it claims to address?
Tom Harris
Technology Programme November 2004
Criteria 1: Project Overview & Relevance to the Competition for Funding• Question 2
What is Innovative about the Project?– To what degree is the project
innovative? For example, does it push boundaries over and beyond current leading-edge world science and technology, or is it looking purely to apply existing technologies in new areas?
Tom Harris
Technology Programme November 2004
• Question 3Does the Application identify why DTI funding is required?– Does the application identify the difference DTI
support will make? For example, what is the criticality of funding requirement with respect to project initiation; quality of results; scale and timing of potential benefits? What is the nature of the market failure occasioning the need for DTI support?
– What is the missed opportunity if DTI does not support this project? Is it in sufficient detail, and is the degree of projected additionality also demonstrated?
Criteria 1: Project Overview & Relevance to the Competition for Funding
Tom Harris
Technology Programme November 2004
Criteria 2: Potential Impact and Risk
• Question 4What are the expected project results and how do they align to industrial and commercial needs?– Is the project industrially and/or
commercially relevant? Is there the potential for broader use?
– Have the Applicants indicated the likely scale of change and is it reasonable?
Tom Harris
Technology Programme November 2004
Criteria 2: Potential Impact and Risk• Question 5
What are the economic benefits for this project and who is likely to benefit?– Have the Applicants distinguished between
the economic benefits that will accrue to them and the consortia from the project, as distinct from the economic benefits that may accrue to others in the wider community? How have the estimates of economic benefit been expressed? Are the risks, or uncertainties, made clear, and are they reflected in the estimates?
Tom Harris
Technology Programme November 2004
Criteria 2: Potential Impact and Risk
• Question 6How will the project results be exploited?– To what extent does the Application
demonstrate a possible commercial application of the project results?
– How do the Applicants intend to disseminate or exploit the results?
Tom Harris
Technology Programme November 2004
Criteria 2: Potential Impact and Risk• Question 7
What are the environmental and social impacts of undertaking the project, and how significant are they relative to the economic benefits?– Sustainable development balances economic
growth with protection of the environment and social impacts.
– Have the Applicants demonstrated that they have assessed the environmental and social impacts? Is their assessment realistic?
– If adverse environmental or social impacts are anticipated, how does the project mitigate these? Is this realistic?
Tom Harris
Technology Programme November 2004
Criteria 2: Potential Impact and Risk• Question 8
What and where are the risks with this project?– Have Applicants clearly identified the
elements within the project that have high uncertainty and the associated level of risk?
– Are the risks soundly based? Are they reasonable and logical for the proposed project objective, for example?
– Have the Applicants clearly identified the technical, commercial, and managerial risks associated with the project?
Tom Harris
Technology Programme November 2004
Criteria 3: Project Organisation and Management
• Question 9What are the benefits of creating the proposed consortium?– Are the consortia formation objectives clear
and would it have been formed without DTI funding? Is extra benefit demonstrated from the collaboration for example increased knowledge transfer?
Tom Harris
Technology Programme November 2004
Criteria 3: Project Organisation and Management
• Question 10How will the proposed consortia partners be organised and what arrangements are proposed for the duration of the project?– Are there any existing formal arrangements
in place between the consortia partners? If not, have the Applicants identified the future arrangements? Have they provided an overview of how potential benefits from the project will be shared between the consortia partners?
Tom Harris
Technology Programme November 2004
Criteria 3: Project Organisation and Management
• Question 11What is the financial commitment required for this project?– Have the Applicants provided a detailed
budget breakdown? Is it inclusive of all anticipated costs throughout the duration of the project? Where appropriate, are capital and depreciation costs clearly identified? For example, new equipment. Is the budget realistic for the scale and complexity of the project?
Tom Harris
Technology Programme November 2004
Criteria 3: Project Organisation and Management
• Question 11What is the financial commitment required for this project? (cont.)– Does the financial support required from the
DTI fit within the limits set by the specific Technology Priority? Is a financial commitment from other sources demonstrated for the balance of the project costs?
