Dr John Dardis, National Contact Point FAFB
The right proposal in the right place 18 dec 2007
OUTLINE AN APOLOGY!!!
General Comments on FP7 FAFB
FP6 v FP7 Activities
2007 experience 2008 Opportunities Shaping the Future Useful Information
The Structure of FP74 specific programmes
Cooperation – 9 Thematic Areas/ Priorities
Ideas – Scientific Excellence – Think SFI!!
People – Marie Curie
Capacities - SMEs, regional potential, Science in Society and international cooperation.
Thematic Breakdown Within the Cooperation Programme

DEFINITIONS FOR FAFB
SMALL COLLABORATIVE PROJECT – up to €3m
LARGE COLLABORATIVE PROJECTS & NETWORKS OF
EXCELLENCE - €3 - 6m
COORDINATION AND SUPPORT ACTIONS - €1m
DEFINITIONS FOR FAFBSMALL COLLABORATIVE PROJECT – up to €3m 3 indept legal entities each in MS or AC, no 2 of which are in the same MS/AC
SICA
4 indept legal entities, 2 must be in different MS/AC, other 2 in different international co-op
partner countries
CSA (co-ordination action
3 indept legal entities each in MS or AC, no 2 of which are in the same MS/AC
CSA (support action)
At least 1 indept legal entity Even more defined thereafter!
WHY WOULD I GET INVOLVED IN FP7
Simple psychology To work with and be the best in the EU at what
you do Status . . . . You and your college Implications for career and future funding eg DAF Movement to other institutions (outside coop) Attracting the best post grads and post docs..
Theme Area 2: FAFB
Continuity with FP 6 Food Quality and Safety??!! 7 Year Programme Major differences: +Sustainable Agriculture Research
+FORESTRY Importance of Biotech aspect to research Fisheries Overlaps with Health, Energy, Environment,
Nanosciences
The Objective and Context Bringing together Science, Industry and other Stakeholder to exploit
new and emerging research opportunities that address social, environmental and economic challenges:
The demand for: safer, healthier, high quality food Sustainable use and production or renewable bio-resources Increasing risk of epizootic and zoonotic diseases Food related disorders Threats to sustainability and security of ag, aquaculture and fisheries Animal welfare
READ IT!!
NEVER WRITE A PROPOSAL THAT DOESN’T REFER TO THESE
REFERENCE EU POLICY DOCS (RUSSIA INDIA CHINA)
ACTIVITIES – FAFB’s 3 PARTS
2.1 Sustainable Production and Management of biological
resources from land, forest and aquatic environments
2.2 Fork to Farm: Food, Health and Well Being
2.3 Life Sciences & Biotechnology for sustainable non-food
products and processes
2.1 Sustainable Production and Management of biological resources from land, forest and aquatic environments
Enabling Research
Incr Sustainability of all production systems (agriculture, forestry,
fisheries, and aquaculture)
Optimised animal health production and welfare across
agriculture, fisheries and aquaculture
Socio-economic research and support to policies
2.2 Fork to Farm: Food, Health and Well Being
Consumers
Nutrition
Food Processing
Food Quality and Safety
Environmental Impacts & Total Food Chain
2.3 Life Sciences & Biotechnology for sustainable non-food products and processes
Improved Biomass & Plant based renewables
Bioprocesses
Environmental biotechnologies; Use of waste and by-products
Where do the calls come from? Advisory Committee Programme Committee SCAR Research Community EFSA JRC etc Expert workshops Conferences Ongoing Research analysis TPs Interservices in Commission
2007 Topics covered
CALL 1 November PublicationActivity 2.2 Increased sustainability Novel Forest Tree Breeding Developing new methods for valuing and marketing of currently
non-marketable forest goods and services
Activity 2.4 Socio-Economic and Support to Policies Policy and institutional aspects of sustainable agriculture, forestry
and rural development in the Mediterranean partner countries
Activity 3.1 Improved Biomass and Plant Based Renewables FOREST PRODUCTS - New forest based products and processes
2007 LESSONS LEARNED
Stick to the guidelines Stick to the budgets Partners for partners sakes gone due to money
constraints Influencing Calls – change in landscape from FP6 our
system is evolving and this must be taken into consideration
Two Stage evaluations Out!!
2007 IRELANDS PERFORMANCE IN FAFB
Overall Success Rate 15% 29% of Proposals with Irish partner successful Prof Mike Gibney 1st Irish co-ord in Theme 2% of total budget secured ie €3.7m 10 Irish Partners successful from:
UCD, Teagasc, TCD, Marine Institute
2008 Call
Published 29 Nov 07 Closing Date 26 feb 2008 One Stage Evaluation
Watch the rules!!
2008 Topics CALL 2B Activity 2.2 Increased sustainability Improved agro-forestry systems for sustainable farming Forecasting forest diversity under the influence of climatic changes and the
consequences for stability and productivity of forest ecosystems Forest energy - Short rotation forestry as a sustainable and eco-efficient land
use management system for fossil fuels substitution within CDM-projects
Activity 3.1 Improved Biomass and Plant Based Renewables Upgrading of wood, wood-related residues and humic-origin substances to
added-value chemicals and materials: from biological understanding to innovative application
Other Themes ENERGY Matthew Kennedy [email protected]
Emphasis will be given to the following activities: Hydrogen and fuel cells Renewable electricity generation Renewable fuel production Renewables for heating and cooling CO2 capture and storage technologies for zero emission power generation Clean Coal Technologies Smart energy networks Energy efficiency and savings Knowledge for energy policy making
Other Themes ENVIRONMENT BRIAN DONLON [email protected]
As environmental problems extend beyond national frontiers and natural resources are under pressure, Europe needs a new sustainable relationship with the environment.
Funded actions focus on: predicting climate, ecological, earth and ocean systems changes; tools and technologies for monitoring, prevention and mitigation of
environmental pressures and risks including on health; sustainability of the natural and man-made environment.
GETTING INVOLVED
Do the training courses Talk to your NCP – Our network will help you out Find the partners – Harrass, cajole….Pick up the phone Use partner search Co-ordinate?? Get the financial assistance Meet the research officer

Planning for the future – how your NCP can help
If we want to shape future calls, now is the time Talk to me about your area…. Think EU Give me the ammo. I will happily fight in Brussels once
material is clear
Get involved in EU projects, COST, ERA NET etc THINK BEYOND CO_OP PROGRAMME – I can help
