Objective
The persistent growth in world trade has led to more and more stringent needs for efficiency, flexibility and reduced cycle duration in transport chains. Additional influence on these developments is exerted through the urge to bring about a cargo shift from road transport to waterborne transport in Europe, thereby reducing road congestion and the impact on the environment. Today the shipbuilding industry constitutes an important sector in Europe's industry in acting as an integrator of different technologies. It also plays an important role in implementing EC-policies on transport, environmental sustainability and competitive and sustainable growth. In June 1996 the European Maritime Industries Forum (MIF), presented The Maritime Industry R&D Master Plan which addressed the R&D needs in the maritime field and indicated its key technological priority areas (RPA's). The shipbuilding industry, led by COREDES (the R&D Committee of the European Shipbuilders Association/CESA) started an R&D Structuring Action devoted to the coordination of the Master Plan implementation. The Master Plan identified four research priority areas (RPA's). The present network stems from RPA3 and is termed PROduct Development and Innovation in R&D (PRODIS) . The aim of this Thematic Network is the co-ordination of the R&D activities relevant to product development and innovation. The present network makes, by linking different national programmes and projects, more efficient use of the available funding. For the purpose of involving various suppliers and end users, a reference framework will be established within the network partnership. The framework will consist of five (4) integrated thematic areas and one integrating area. The integrated areas (Hydrodynamics, Hull structures, Power plants and Cargo handling and mooring) represent analysis and the integrating area (New ship concepts) represent synthesis because of the nature of design. The present Thematic Network will distinguish between two technology groups which relate to ship operational areas. The groups are: - Technologies related to transport means in deep sea and unrestricted waters as typical for intercontinental or trans-ocean and polar shipping; - Technologies related to transport means in coastal, restricted or limited waters as typical for short sea or coastal and inland shipping. The present Thematic Network will provide the European shipbuilding industry with a report clarifying the state-of-the-art and on-going developments regarding technologies which are essential for product development and innovation. Also new projects will be implemented in the areas deemed relevant.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
