Fifteen research policies
European reserch is recognised as
among the best in the world. But when
it comes to traslating this scientific
excellence into concrete innovation, into
wealth and jobs, Europe continues to
trail its main competitors

An intrinsic dispersion
Centres of excellence can be found in all Member
States. But rarely do they rank as global number one
in a specific domain. This is explained, among other
things, by Europe’s intrinsic dispersion, its
fragmented peoples, languages, cultures and
scientific traditions.
Project Strategies and Synergetic Approaches in Modern Geosciences – P. Gasparini
Towards greater
co-operation and openness
With often substantial resources at their disposal, national
research programmes are undertaken to a large extent
independently of one another. This dispersion effect is
definitely a key factor in the present under-performance of
Europe’s scientific and technological potential compared with
the world’s other research centres, and is preventing Europe
from fully exploiting the Union’s human and material
resources. The longer-term objective is therefore to
achieve greater co-operation between Member
States’ research strategies and a mutual opening up
of programmes.

The framework programme
a new tool for integration
The sixth framework programme is a key
instrument of ERA. For that reason it has an
innovative edge and more resources than its
predecessor.

Basic features of FP6
As the name indicates FP6 is the frame for the EU
activities in the field of science, research and innovation.
With a budget of 17.5 billion euros for the years 2002 2006 it represents about 4 to 5 percent of the overall
expenditure on RTD in EU Member States. The main
objective of FP6 is to contribute to the creation of the
European Research Area (ERA) by improving
integration and co-ordination of research in Europe
which is so far largely fragmented. At the same time
research will be targeted at strengthening the
competitiveness of the European economy, solving
major societal questions and supporting the formulation
and implementation of other EU policies.

Network of Excellence (NoE)
NoEs are multipartner projects aimed at strengthening
scientific and technological excellence on a particular
research topic by integrating at European level the critical
mass of resources and expertise needed to provide
European leadership and to be a world force in a given
domain. This expertise will be networked around a joint
programme of activities aimed primarily at creating a
progressive and durable integration of research
capacities of network partners while at the same time
advancing knowledge on the topic.
Project Strategies and Synergetic Approaches in Modern Geosciences – P. Gasparini
Network of Excellence (NoE)
The financial regime for NoEs has been built on the following principles:
· a grant for integration, as a fixed amount to support the joint programme of
activities;
· to be calculated taking into account (a) the degree of integration proposed
by the consortium, (b) the number of researchers that all participants intend
to integrate, (c) the characteristics of the field of research concerned and (d)
the joint programme of activities;
· to be disbursed in annual instalments, with payment depending primarily on
the network’s progress towards achieving a durable integration and on
condition that the costs incurred in implementing the joint programme of
activities are greater than the grant itself.

Integrated Project (IP)
IPs are multipartner projects to support objective-driven research, where the primary deliverable is
generating the knowledge required to implement the thematic priorities. IPs should bring together a
critical mass of resources to reach ambitious goals aimed either at increasing Europe’s
competitiveness or at addressing major societal needs. They must contain a research component
and may contain technological development and demonstration components, as appropriate, as
well as perhaps a training component. A project may be at any point in the research spectrum. A
single project may indeed span large parts of the spectrum, i.e. from basic to applied research.
Integration within an integrated project may take several forms:
- Vertical integration of the full “value-chain” of stakeholders from those involved in knowledge
production through to technology development and transfer.
- Horizontal integration of a range of multidisciplinary activities.
- Activity integration: integrating various research activities from fundamental to applied research
and with other types of activity, including take-up activities, protection and dissemination of
knowledge, training, etc, as appropriate.
- Sectoral integration of actors from private and public sector research organisations, and in
particular between academia and industry, including SMEs.
- Financial integration of public and private funding, with overall financing plans that may involve the
European Investment Bank and co-operation with Eureka.

Programmes implemented jointly by
several Member States (“Article 169”)
This instrument requires co-operation at the level of national
governments. It aims at integrating whole national or regional
programmes on a particular topic by their joint implementation, e.g.
through harmonised work programmes and common, joint or
coordinated calls for proposals. Each possible arrangement requires
a joint initiative of a number of Member States, possibly represented
by their national programmes, and the European Commission in
order to generate a proposal. Specific implementation structures will
have to be set up. It may be used in all FP activities. The expected
Community contribution is from some tens of millions of Euros
upwards.
Project Strategies and Synergetic Approaches in Modern Geosciences – P. Gasparini
Specific Targeted Research Projects (STREP)
and Specific Targeted Innovation Projects (STIP)
STREPs and STIPs are multipartner research, demonstration or innovation projects. They
are an evolved form of the shared-cost RTD projects and demonstration projects used in
FP5. Their purpose is to support research, technological development and demonstration
or innovation activities of a more limited scope and ambition than IPs. The Community
contribution may range from hundreds of thousands of Euros to a few millions of Euros and
is paid as a grant to the budget (percentage of total costs of the project). There must be a
minimum of three participants from three different Member States or Associated States of
which at least two are from Member States or Associated Candidate States. Different
minimum numbers may be specified in the calls for proposals. Special conditions for
minimum numbers of participants apply for the “Specific international co-operation activities
(INCO)” part of the programme (to be specified in the work programme). STREPs are used
in implementing the priority thematic areas, in other areas supporting Community policies
and anticipating scientific and technological needs, in specific international co-operation
research activities, and in research activities developing harmonious relations between
science and society. STIPs are used in activities esplorino, validating and disseminating
new innovation concepts and methods at European level.

Coordination Action (CA)
CAs are multi-partner actions intended to promote and support the networking and
coordination of research and innovation activities. They are a reinforced form of the
concerted actions/thematic networks used in FP5. They will cover the definition,
organisation and management of joint or common Coordination Action (CA) CAs are
multi-partner actions intended to promote and support the networking and coordination
of research and innovation activities. They are a reinforced form of the concerted
actions/thematic networks used in FP5. They will cover the definition, organisation and
management of joint or common initiatives as well as activities such as the
organisation of conferences, meetings, the carrying out of studies, exchanges of
personnel, the exchange and dissemination of good practice, setting up common
information systems and expert groups. EU funding is given for the costs of coordination (not for the research) in the form of a grant to the budget of up to 100% of
the budget. There must be a minimum of three participants from three different
Member States or Associated States of which at least two are from Member States or
Associated Candidate States. Different minimum numbers may be specified in the calls
for proposals. Special conditions for minimum numbers of participants apply for the

ERDF
European Regional Development Fund
OBJECTIVE
To specify the scope of assistance from the European
Regional Development Fund (ERDF) during the period
2000-2006, taking as a basis the aim of the Fund, which is
to promote economic and social cohesion by correcting the
main regional imbalances and participating in the
development and conversion of regions, while ensuring
synergy with assistance from the other Structural Funds.
Project Strategies and Synergetic Approaches in Modern Geosciences – P. Gasparini
SUMMARY
Framework and tasks
1. Regulation (EC) No 1783/1999 comes under the overall framework established
by Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 laying down general provisions on the
Structural Funds (general Regulation). It requires the ERDF to provide assistance
under the new Objectives 1 and 2, the Community initiatives for cross-border,
transnational and interregional cooperation (Interreg III) and economic and social
regeneration of cities and urban neighbourhoods in crisis (Urban II), and
innovative measures and technical assistance measures under the general
Regulation.
2. In order to reduce the gap between the levels of development of the various
regions and the extent to which the least-favoured regions and islands (including
rural areas) are lagging behind, the ERDF contributes to the harmonious,
balanced and sustainable development of economic activity, to a high degree of
competitiveness, to high levels of employment and protection of the environment,
and to equality between women and men.
Project Strategies and Synergetic Approaches in Modern Geosciences – P. Gasparini
Scope
3. As part of its task to promote regional development, the ERDF contributes towards financing the following
measures:
•Productive investment to create and safeguard sustainable jobs;
•Investment in infrastructure which contributes, in regions covered by Objective 1, to development,
structural adjustment and creation and maintenance of sustainable jobs, or, in all eligible regions, to
diversification, revitalisation, improved access and regeneration of economic sites and industrial areas
suffering from decline, depressed urban areas, rural areas and areas dependent on fisheries. Such
investment may also target the development of trans-European networks in the areas of transport,
telecommunications and energy in the regions covered by Objective 1;
•Development of the endogenous potential by measures which support local development and employment
initiatives and the activities of small and medium-sized enterprises; such assistance is aimed at services for
enterprises, transfer of technology, development of financing instruments, direct aid to investment,
provision of local infrastructure, and aid for structures providing neighbourhood services;
•Investment in education and health (only in the context of Objective 1).
4. The areas in which these measures provide support include development of the productive environment,
research and technological development, development of the information society, protection and improvement of
the environment, equality between men and women in the field of employment, and transnational, cross-border
and inter-regional cooperation.
5. Pursuant to the general Regulation, the Community's Interreg III initiative and innovative measures (studies,
pilot projects, exchanges of experience) in the field of regional or local development are financed exclusively by
the ERDF. However, the scope of the ERDF may be extended to overlap with the other Structural Funds in order
to cover the necessary measures for the implementation of the initiative programmes or pilot projects concerned.
