Objective
Aerospace industries have provoked important developments in Europe's infrastructure. They have contributed massively to the economies of Europe and the wealth of a number of its regions; they employ a huge workforce (more than 1 million jobs depend direc tly or indirectly) and, through exports, contribute strongly to Europe's ability to develop the quality of life of its citizens. Aerospace SMEs have been working for long in the shadow of large industrialists. Some are now leading European RTD (Research a nd Technical Development) projects fitting with SMEs needs, capabilities and expected time to product. In the Framework Programme (FP6), the Commission aims to allocated 15% of the total financial resources assigned to Integrating Research thematic progra ms to SMEs. SMEs awareness has considerably increased, expressed needs from SMEs are actual, and nevertheless a large amount of work remains to be accomplished in order to help SMEs in creation of effective consortia and in preparation of successful servic ed SME Integrated Projects proposals. SCRATCH-IP Partners objective is to improve the present situation by means of direct contacts with efficient SMEs, already visited by the SCRATCH consortium, and help to carry ideas into serviced SME IPs/STREPs propos als. Four of the most efficient SCRATCH partners from F, UK, D and B having expertise in European Research and SMEs in the field of Aeronautics bring their know-how and capabilities in SCRATCH-IP which final goal is to service and submit two SMEs led Large STREPs in the field of Aerospace Programme for the final aeronautical calls for proposals in FP6. The four mentioned Partners will work in agreement with the other Partners of the SCRATCH endeavour: NL, I, E, IL, EL, P, RO, PL, HU, S, IRL and CZ; they ar e linked by a consortium agreement.
