Clean Sky JTI: 2de oproep tot indiening van voorstellen (deadline: 23/2/10)
Inhoud & doelstellingen:
On the 20th of December 2007, the Council adopted the Regulation setting up the Clean Sky Joint Undertaking (hereafter "CSJU") to accelerate the development of clean air technologies for air transport in the European Union. This initiative will run until the 31st of December 2017. During this period, new technologies will be researched, developed, integrated and demonstrated at system level.
In order to cover a wide part of the air transport system, the Clean Sky JTI is arranged around the six following Integrated Technology Demonstrators (ITDs):
- Smart Fixed Wing Aircraft,
- Green Regional Aircraft,
- Green Rotorcraft,
- Systems for Green Operation,
- Sustainable and Green Engines,
- Eco-Design.
In order to quantify the performance of the different ITDs, a Technology Evaluator will be developed.
Each of the six Integrated Technology Demonstrators is led by two ITD Leaders with major contributions being made by Associates selected to participate in one or several ITDs. Each ITD is governed by the ITD Steering Committee, which is a body of the CSJU, where both Leaders and Associates are represented. The Technology Evaluator also has a Steering Committee.
The CSJU Members, committed for the full duration of the Joint Undertaking are:
- The European Community, represented by the Commission,
- The Integrated Technology Demonstrators (ITD) Leaders,
- The Associates.
The National States Representative Group, composed of representatives from Member States and FP7 Associated Countries plays an advisory role to the CSJU. The Clean Sky Joint Undertaking is managed on a daily basis by the CSJU Staff headed by its Executive Director. The Executive Director reports to a Governing Board composed of the European Community, represented by the Commission, the ITD Leaders and one Associate per ITD. The CSJU Staff also includes Project Officers in charge of supporting the different ITDs. The Project Officers are placed under the authority of the Coordinating Project Officer. In order to answer the needs of the CSJU in terms of Research, Technological Development and Demonstration (RTD) activities, the CSJU organises Calls for Proposals. A proposal may involve one or more participants. When a proposal is successful and the CSJU decides to fund it, a Grant Agreement is signed where the participants are identified as beneficiaries to the Grant Agreement. Such beneficiaries, selected via Call for Proposals, are referred to as Partners in the following.
The activities to be carried out in the context of a CS-RTD project may include:
· research and technological development activities, reflecting the core activities of the project, aimed at a significant advance beyond the established state-of-the-art, including scientific coordination, and/or
· demonstration activities, designed to prove the viability of new technologies that offer a potential economic advantage, but which cannot be commercialised directly (e.g. testing of product-like prototypes), and
· any other activities such as:
- management activities, over and above the technical management of individual work packages, linking together all the project components and maintaining communications with the CSJU,
- activities directly related to the project's objectives and likely to have a potential impact on the outcome of the project,
- activities to disseminate research results and to prepare for their take-up and use, including knowledge management and, activities directly related to the protection of foreground,
- training of researchers and key staff, including research managers and industrial executives (in particular for SMEs) and any potential users of the knowledge generated by the project. The training should aim to improve the professional development of the personnel concerned and be necessary to carry out the projects work.
Begunstigden:
The participation in a proposal requires the existence of a legal entity. A legal entity can be a socalled "natural person" (e.g. Mrs Smith) or a "legal person" (e.g. National Institute for Research). A proposal may involve one or several participant(s). Contributions from third parties such as subcontractors do not constitute participation. Examples of potential participants are research institutes, universities, industry, including SMEs1, and end-users. Any legal entity irrespective of the country in which it is established may participate in a CS-RTD project.
In the frame of a CSJU-RTD project, only legal entities established in a Member State or in a country associated to the Seventh Framework Programme are eligible to receive CSJU funding.
The EU Member States are:
Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom.
The FP7 Associated Countries are:
Albania, Bosnia Herzegovina, Croatia, FYR Macedonia, Iceland, Israel, Liechtenstein, Montenegro, Norway, Serbia, Switzerland and Turkey. Other countries may become associated during the course of FP7. The latest update will be posted on the CORDIS web site http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/
Budget:
As indicated in Figure 2, the share of the overall EC contribution (up to 800 M€) cannot exceed 50% for ITD leaders and 25% for Associates (including their participation resulting from a Call for Proposals). This will be enforced within each ITD over the full duration of the Joint Undertaking. As a result, the percentage of EC funding dedicated to Call for Proposals will be at least 25%.
