Book excerpt: European Union policy makers have agreed that for Europe to be a world class centre for technological innovation it must be home to successful, competitive small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The European Union understands the challenges they face in an ever growing globalised market, and has developed dedicated tools designed to help them reach their full potential. Two such Horizontal Activities under the Sixth Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (FP6) are Co-operative Research projects (formerly CRAFT) and Collective Research projects. This booklet is designed to provide a statistical overview of FP6 Co-operative and Collective Research Projects. As you will see, there has been an enthusiastic response to both initiatives.

Download or read book Pervasive Collaborative Networks written by Luis M. Camarinha-Matos and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-08-08 with total page 634 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: COLLABORATIVE NETWORKS Becoming a pervasive paradigm In recent years the area of collaborative networks is being consolidated as a new discipline (Camarinha-Matos, Afsarmanesh, 2005) that encompasses and gives more structured support to a large diversity of collaboration forms. In terms of applications, besides the “traditional” sectors represented by the advanced supply chains, virtual enterprises, virtual organizations, virtual teams, and their breading environments, new forms of collaborative structures are emerging in all sectors of the society. Examples can be found in e-government, intelligent transportation systems, collaborative virtual laboratories, agribusiness, elderly care, silver economy, etc. In some cases those developments tend to adopt a terminology that is specific of that domain; often the involved actors in a given domain are not fully aware of the developments in the mainstream research on collaborative networks. For instance, the grid community adopted the term “virtual organization” but focused mainly on the resource sharing perspective, ignoring most of the other aspects involved in collaboration. The European enterprise interoperability community, which was initially focused on the intra-enterprise aspects, is moving towards inter-enterprise collaboration. Collaborative networks are thus becoming a pervasive paradigm giving basis to new socio-organizational structures.

Book excerpt: Collective Research projects are one of two distinct types of project supported by the Horizontal research activities involving SMEs of the EU's Sixth Research Framework Programme (FP6, 2002-2006), which together have an overall budget of €473 million. They are designed to improve the competitiveness of large communities of SMEs by expanding their knowledge base through research and development related to widely-shared technological, environmental, safety or standards issues. This folder contains profiles of 35 FP6 Collective Research projects, prepared in the months immediately following their official launch. Similar folders, presenting a selection of projects from the FP6's Co-operative Research and Economic and Technological Intelligence (ETI) calls, are also available.

Download or read book SME FP6 Project Catalogue written by European Commission. Directorate General for Research and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 602 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sixth Framework Programme (FP6) which ran from 2002 to 2006, offered innovative small to mediumsized enterprises (SMEs) with good research ideas but no research facilities the possibility to outsource their research to research performers via two specifi c schemes devoted exclusively to the needs of SMEs: Co-operative Research and Collective Research. This catalogue contains all 473 projects funded under both schemes. What is a Co-operative Research project? A Co-operative Research project supports SMEs that can innovate but which have no research facilities of their own. It brings together these smaller players from different countries with a specifi c research objective or need and then assigns a large part of the work required to research and development (R&D) performers. R&D performers could be universities, research centres or technological institutes. They do not control the results they produce; the ownership and intellectual property rights of the research remains exclusively with the SMEs which contract out the work. FP6 placed a strong emphasis on this kind of SME support and set aside about EUR 320 million to fi nance Co-operative Research activities. Typical Co-operative projects last from 1 to 2 years and cost between EUR 0.5 and EUR 2 million each. [ from introduction ] Publisher's note.

Download or read book Participating in European Research written by European Commission and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FP6 is a fundamentally new and different scheme for driving European research further and faster than ever before. It provides much-needed direction for the European Research Area, shaping and structuring the face of European research in years to come. Alongside the new instruments created especially for FP6, such as networks of excellence and integrated projects, a number of past instruments have been included to ensure continuity from one Framework Programme to another. The purpose of this guide is to provide prospective participants in EU research programmes - and anyone interested in the future of European research - with some useful background information, tips and a general overview of the Sixth Framework Programme. This guide will also enable the readers to assess : - the opportunities for their organisation, research centre, network of excellence, etc. under FP6, - whether their partnership has the resources needed for a successful application and, if not, - where they can get help in making a successful application for co-funding with the European Commission.
