NMP Operational ApproachPrioritisation through
Dialogue and involvement of all partners
Policy, Industry, Research

• Policy input
• Industry, Environment, Social Affairs,
  Healthwithin the Commission and the Member
  States
• Strategic Research Agendas from European
  Technology Platforms
• Society / Industry / user driven
• Strong involvement of Research Establishments /
  Academia
• Priority for multi-sectoral benefits /
  applications
• Foresight studies
• Advisory bodies / Stakeholders / Public
  Consultations
• Portfolio of on-going projects

NMP Operational ApproachEnsuring effectiveness -
Industrial Focus

• Focusing on where European value added is the
  highest
• Industrial partner participation is key for
  all research activities
• SMEs importance in generating value added in
  the networks
• Oriented to multi-sectoral benefits or cluster
  of industries with potential commonalities
• Modernised traditional industries (such as
  textiles, )
• Scale intensive industries (such as
  automotive,)
• New science-based industries (such as
  biotechnology, )
• New supply industries (such as renewable
  (paper,...))

NMP WP Establishment Call Main Features

• In the first two (2007 and 2008) calls
• Strategic use of funding schemes (one scheme
  per topic)
• Calls by funding scheme (Large, Small, SME,
  CSA)
• Budget allocation by call (NOT by Activity /
  Area)
• Two stage submission for all projects except
  CSA
• One evaluation panel per topic

• Subsequent calls
• Strategic use of funding schemes (one scheme
  per topic) to be continued
• Calls by funding scheme (Large, Small, SME,
  CSA) but, also
• Cross-thematic initiatives e.g. Biorefinery
• PPP e.g. Factory of the future

Focus
Strategy
Assuring the Future of Manufacturing in Europe
by High Adding Value

• The new European model of production system for
  the factories of the future (e.g. transformable
  factories, networking factories of excellence,
  learning factories)
• ICT based production systems and high quality
  manufacturing technologies capable to optimize
  their performance with a high degree of autonomy
  and adaptability for a balanced combination of
  high throughput and high accuracy production.
• Sustainable manufacturing tools, methodologies
  and processes that have the capability of
  cost-efficiently shaping, handling and assembling
  products composed of complex and novel materials

Focus
Strategy
Tools Tools for designing, measuring and
assessing energy efficiency particularly at
district level. The building envelope design,
development and manufacturing processes of
components for new and retrofitted envelopes
Systems and equipments components systems
to ensure that buildings work during the whole
lifetime delivering initial performances Environme
ntal technologies For assessing the Energy and
Environmental performance of buildings and
districts (including Cultural Heritage). Standardi
sation Pre-normative research, standardisation
of components and systems Business models
including clients and user's requirements, the
entire supply chain, legal and financial
framework, technical aspects, geographical and
local features and the whole life cycle.
Three steps strategy 1- Reducing the energy
consumption of buildings and its negative
impacts on Environment 2- Buildings cover their
own energy needs 3 -Transformation of buildings
into energy provider preferably at district
level

Focus
Strategy

• Three prong strategy
• All road vehicles passenger cars, buses, urban
  vehicles and trucks
• Infrastructure (smart grids, distribution
  recharging of systems)
• Logistics, co-modality, and ITS

• Heavy duty vehicles ( Internal combustion
  engines, vehicles technologies for energy
  optimisation).
• Road and urban transport electrification.
• Logistics, co-modality and Intelligent Transport
  Systems technologies.
