Other Calls for Proposals



FP7 - What’s new ?

Main new elements compared to FP6:• Annual budget doubled (EUR 5 billion ►10 billion)• Flexible use of funding schemes• Simplification of procedures

– Light submission procedure– Increasing autonomy of consortia– Streamlining the selection process

• “externalise” part of the FP management to executive agency structures

Surface Transport

Research to focus on:• Greening surface transport

– Clean and energy-efficient thermal engines and components including hybrid technology

– alternative fuels, incl. integration of fuel cells and hydrogen into transport operations

• Encouraging modal shift and decongesting transport – Interoperability and optimisation of transport networks, systems

and services and their modal integration– Optimisation of infrastructure capacity (incl. terminals,

specialised networks)– Infrastructure pricing and charging – Improved transport and traffic management through ITS, etc.



Surface TransportResearch to focus on:• Ensuring sustainable urban mobility

– Next generation vehicle• Incl. elements of a safe, energy-efficient, safe and intelligent road transport

and fuel aspects

– Clean urban transport strategies– Integrated town planning and transport

• Improving safety and security– Accident investigation– Design of vehicles and vessels – Integrated safety concepts for vehicles, vessels and infrastructures

systems

• Strengthening industrial competitiveness– vehicle technologies– cost-effective production, etc.

• Under each theme there will be sufficient flexibility to addressboth Emerging needs and Unforeseen policy needs

• Dissemination of knowledge and transfer of results will be supported in all thematic areas

• Support will be implemented across all themes through:



Joint Technology Initiatives

• New “funding scheme” in FP7 aiming at large-scale industrial programmes/projects implemented in PPP

• Objective: to speed up significant technological developments of major European public interest

• Identification criteria include:– Impact on industrial competitiveness and growth– Strong commitment from industry– Added value of European-level intervention– Importance of contribution to broader policy objectives– Capacity to attract additional national support and leverage

industry funding
