Funding Instruments for European Industrial Research
A new eight-page colour leaflet from the European Commission
provides a more light-hearted overview of funding instruments
offered for industrial research in the EU Sixth Framework
Programme (FP6). The objective of research under this Thematic
Priority (Nanotechnologies, knowledge-based Materials and
new Production - NMP) is to achieve breakthrough through
greater integration of partners, sectors and skills.
This leaflet explains in a visually illustrative, innovative
and simple way the different funding instruments for EU
industrial research. Thus, its target end-users are potential
proposers and all those interested in the NMP Priority.
The layout is simple and effective, showing the character
Europides pondering on the five different FP6 funding instruments
to identify the most appropriate use of each one in order
to cross the river of knowledge.

The return of Europides
Europides is a friendly cartoon character, whose
job is to help newcomers to European industrial research to
understand the various mechanisms for funding research under
the Sixth Framework Programme. A series of eight posters featuring
Europides is now available here!
In September, the European Commission published an eight-page
colour leaflet to explain the funding instruments available
for industrial research in the Sixth RTD Framework Programme
(FP6).
Research under FP6’s Thematic Priority 3 (Nanotechnologies
and nano-sciences, knowledge-based multifunctional materials
and new production processes and devices, or NMP) is intended
to achieve breakthrough in industrial research through greater
integration of partners, sectors and skills. In the brochure
a cartoon character, Europides, demonstrates the different
options for crossing the river of knowledge.
Now the images from the brochure are available as a series
of eight free-standing posters, which can be downloaded for
local printing at A3 or A4 size, as an aid to presentations
to potential proposers.

Europides: the movie
Europides, the friendly cartoon character who helps
newcomers to European industrial research to understand the
Sixth Framework Programme's different funding mechanisms,
is now the star of an animated presentation.
This animation shows the adventure of Europides trying to
cross the river of knowledge using various tools, which symbolise
different EC instruments for funding research. This approach
will allow him to achieve innovation, through the integration
of partners, activities and skills.
The European Commission has already published an eight-page
leaflet to explain the funding instruments available for industrial
research in the Sixth RTD Framework Programme (FP6), and a
series of eight free-standing posters based on the images
in the leaflet.
Now the same material is available as an animated presentation
with sound effects. The presentation is available in two versions:
-
a 14-minute slide-show, which runs automatically, and is suitable
for display on conference or exhibition stands.
-
an animated set of slides in which each step is activated
by a mouse-click, designed to support a live presentation
by a speaker.
