improve new products, processes or services– Demonstration project to prove viability of new technologies

• Duration 2 to 3 years, possibly more if justified

• Up to several million Euro


Specific Targeted Research Projects (STREP) (2/2)

• Partnership– minimum of 3 participants– SME participation strongly encouraged

• Community support as a “grant to the budget” (contribution to actual costs)– 50% for RTD and innovation related activities– 35% for demonstration– 100% for management (up to 7% of Community contribution)– eligible costs: same as for IPs

In Summary ...

• For aeronautics, the technical areas covered will be similar to the one covered by F.P.5.

• F.P.6 proposes a number of new instruments, amongst which the Integrated ProjectsIntegrated Projects. They should replace the Technical Platforms, offering more autonomy and flexibility.

• “Classical” RTD projects (STREPSTREP, 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.
