The EU industrial research policyThe new instruments (NI) in FP6

The second Call for NIs in 2004



Thematic Priority 3Thematic Priority 3 concentrates on:

i) Nanotechnology, as a flagship of the next industrial revolution

ii) Multi-functional knowledge-based Materials, as critical drivers of innovation

iii)New Production processes and devices, as the key to sustainable development


The primary objective of NMP isto promote real industrial breakthroughs,

based on scientific and technical excellence.Radical breakthrough can be achieved

through two complementary approaches:a) creation of new knowledge;

b) new ways of integrating and exploitingexisting and new knowledge.

a) creation of new knowledge;b) new ways of integrating and

exploitingexisting and new knowledge.

Objectives:Objectives: attract the best, most promising researchers from third

countries promote the training of European researchers abroad.

Means:Means: In-coming fellowships

to work and undertake research training in Europe; provision to assist fellows to return to their countries of origin in

case of emerging and transition economies and developing countries.

Out-going fellowships

What to doWhat to do to participate in the NMP-calls to participate in the NMP-calls

Normally, participants from third countries do not submit a proposal, but join a consortium that is setting up in the current NMP-calls

They need mobilisation of European contacts to join a consortium for the current NMP calls

They can use network of National Contact Points … also use the CORDIS partner seach database Remember: Commission cannot insert a third

country participant in a consortium
