Research for SME associations
Aims at developing technical solutions to common problems to a large number of SMEs in specific industrial sectors or segments of the value chain (like ICT) through research that could not be addressed under Research for SMEs.
Projects can, for example, aim to develop or conform to European norms and standards, and to meet regulatory requirements in areas such as health, safety and environmental protection. Projects must be driven by the SME associations, which are given the opportunity to subcontract research to RTD performers in order to acquire the necessary technological knowledge for their members.

The ICARE project is a Collective Research project involving fourteen SMEs and seven research-centres as well as five European industrial association/groupings - representing 9200 SMEs - which will be responsible for training their members and disseminating the project’s outputs. ICARE received a financial support from the FP6 amounting to 2 million euros in a view (i) to develop a rapid and cost-effective analytical method that will enable SMEs to monitor Neo-Formed Contaminants (NFC) accumulation during the heat treatment of food and (ii) to perform pre-normative research, providing EU regulatory authorities with a fast method for NFC quantification.

In December several new calls were published at Cordis website. Let us take a closer look at some of those where our SMEs have a chance to succeed.
Totally 52 mil. EUR will be spent for Specific Targeted Research Projects (STREP) and Co-ordination Actions (CA) in the area of Citizens and Governance in a knowledge-based society. The deadline for the 2nd call proposals is 13 April 2005. Continue reading ‘New FP6 calls for SMEs’
Cordis published yesterday the profiles of the first FP6 projects in support and SMEs. These are listed as Integrated Projects (IPs) or Specific Targeted Research, Projects (STREPs). Collective Research projects and Economic and Technological Intelligence (ETI) actions, under the FP5, have also been extended to the FP6.
The objective of ETI actions is to use existing sources and networks in order to identify SMEs’ needs and anticipate market and technology new trends. The projects promote innovation in SMEs, compile and analyse information on scientific developments and identify and disseminate best practice.
