KEY ACTIONSKEY ACTIONS

addressing explicitly formulated economic and social objectives

of a European nature with a problem-solving approach

aimed at mobilising the resources of various relevant disciplines,

technologies and know-how using the whole range of activities,

ranging from basic research to development and demonstration

prepared and implemented in close consultation with the

scientific community, industry and all relevant research end-users

Key action II: Control of infectious diseases

RTD objectivesdevelopment of improved or novel

vaccines, especially against viral

diseases, including support of

clinical trials

new / improved strategies to identify

and control infectious diseases,

directed at treatment & prevention

public health and care-delivery

systems, notably management,

prevention and surveillance aspects

Societal aims to combat established, emerging or

re-emerging infectious diseases,

both in humans and animals

to improve quality of life through

improved prevention and treatment

to reduce healthcare costs to society

Implementation modalitiesImplementation modalities

Shared cost actionsTo obtain new knowledge likely to be useful either to develop new or significantly improve existing products, processes and services

Demonstration projectsTo prove the technical viability of technologies that cannot be commercialised directly

Combined projectsTo combine both a research and demonstration component

Concerted actionsTo co-ordinate national RTD projects in order to exchange experience acquired, expand research efforts and disseminate results

Support for networksTo bring together manufacturers, users, universities and research centres concerned with the diffusion or transfer of innovation around a given scientific and technological objective

SME specific measures To facilitate the participation of Small and Medium Enterprises in FP V

Marie Curie Training fellowshipsTo strengthen the human research potential in Europe

A new concept : the cluster of projectsA new concept : the cluster of projects

Definition : a group of RTD projects providing the necessary critical mass to

address a major objective within the thematic programme

Objectives : to promote multidisciplinarity, maximise European added value and facilitate

the optimisation of resources and the exploitation of results

Modalities : A priori clusters can be submitted by linking several single RTD projects

(RTD, demonstration, combined projects)

Clusters can also be built a posteriori by bringing together several selected single RTD projects or adding a single RTD proposal to an existing cluster

What’s different from FP4?What’s different from FP4?

In FP4, one of the evaluation criteria was to consider whether or not proposals were in the scope of the scientific fields, as described in the work programme

In FP5, this is replaced by whether or not proposals match the socio-economic objectives of the key action, as described in the work programme
