Language Technology (EuroDocNet) • FP6 Citizens and governance in a knowledge-based

society• C&G Objective 8.2.2 – Promotion and support for

comparative research, methodologies and data generation

• Proposal submitted for second call on 13 April 2005• Proposal passed evaluation threshold• Re-submitted in IST Call 6, 25 April 2006

FP7 – facts • http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/home.html • The European Union's main instrument for funding

research and development. • 1 January 2007 – 31 December 2013• 7 years• Currently, FP6 (5 years), until end of 2006

Page 10: The EU’s 7th Framework Programme as a source of project funding

Currently, • FP7 is being shaped• ESFRI is preparing a vision and roadmap for research

infrastructures in Europe in the next 10 to 20 years and developing a new operational mechanism. First results should be available during 2006.

• Final administrative stages in the co-decision process for adoption of FP7.

• FP7 is to be launched (first calls expected) at the end of 2006.

• First FP7 projects to be launched in early 2007, so…• Now is the time to start preparing our proposal!

FP7 structure – 4 programmes adressing specific objectives

• Cooperation– supporting cooperation between universities, industry,

research centres and public authorities in order to gain leadership in key scientific and technology areas

• Ideas– stimulate creativity and excellence by funding basic or

'frontier' research by individual teams • People

– support to training, mobility and careers development • Capacities

– coordinating and developing research infrastructures

FP7 – thematic priorities1. Health 2. Food, agriculture and biotechnology 3. Information and communication technologies 4. Nanosciences, Nanotechnologies, Materials and new

Production Technologies 5. Energy 6. Environment and Climate Change 7. Transport and Aeronautics 8. Socio-economic sciences and the humanities 9. Space and Security Research

Page 13: The EU’s 7th Framework Programme as a source of project funding

ICT and SSH (areas 3 & 7)• The Information and communication technologies (ICT) priority

will enhance the different ICT technology pillars (nano-electronics, communication networks, mixed realities, etc.) and help to integrate technologies (home environment, robotic systems, etc.). Applications research will be concentrated on societal, content-related, business- and industry supportive research and trust and confidence-building research.

• Research on Socio-economic sciences and the humanities will aim to generate an in-depth, shared understanding of the complex and interrelated socio-economic challenges Europe is facing (such as growth, employment and competitiveness, social cohesion and sustainability, quality of life and global interdependence) in particular with a view to providing an improved knowledge base for policies in the related fields.

Page 14: The EU’s 7th Framework Programme as a source of project funding

Draft agenda of SSH• Activity 5 (of 7): The citizen in the European Union• The aim is to improve understanding of … Europe’s

diversities and commonalities in terms of culture, institutions, law, language and values.

• Area 2 (of 2): Diversities and commonalities in Europe• Cultural heritage in the context of European

diversities and commonalities: The role of European cultural heritage in European integration, including the events, symbols, values and collective or individual actors that have played a role in this context.

FP7 – The ”Capacities” programme

• The objective of this action is to support research infrastructures, research for the benefit of SMEs and the research potential of European regions (Regions of Knowledge) as well as to stimulate the realisation of the full research potential (Convergence Regions) of the enlarged Union and build an effective and democratic European Knowledge society.

Page 16: The EU’s 7th Framework Programme as a source of project funding

Research infrastructures in FP7• The FP7 proposal aims to optimise the use and development

of the best research infrastructures existing in Europe, and help to create new research infrastructures of pan-European interest in all fields of science and technology.

• Research infrastructures, including radiation sources, data banks in genomics and data banks in social science, observatories for environmental sciences, systems of imaging or clean rooms for the study and development of new materials or nano-electronics, and computing and communication based e-infrastructures, are at the core of research. They are expensive, need a broad range of expertise to be developed, and should be used and exploited by a large community of scientist and customer industries on a European scale.

Tasks ahead• Follow-up of meeting• Expand and consolidate network• Apply for funding locally (eg. 1 person month + travel)• Attend courses in EU application writing• Monitor and observe FP7 call information• Distribute tasks in proposal writing• New workshop in late autumn 2006 (?)• Start writing!

Page 24: The EU’s 7th Framework Programme as a source of project funding

Open issues• Define ENOMA’s aims, objectives, rationale• Specify work packages (artistic, technical,

administrative, legal, dissemination)• Define project schedule, deliverables, milestones • Agree on distribution of tasks• Define project scope

– Musical scope (non-commercial?)– User groups/access control– Documentation

Page 25: The EU’s 7th Framework Programme as a source of project funding

To do – autumn 2006• Establish local research team• ”Sell” project locally• Apply for funds locally• Attend course in application writing• Propose new consortium members• Prepare for workshop in November
