Integrating European Research
Instruments

• Networks of Excellence
• NoE are planned within the seven thematic
  sub-programmes
• Minimum 3 Participants (2 from MS or AS cand.
  country) - but typically larger
• Middle- to Long-Term Projects (5 years and
  longer)
• Focused on Fundamental Research -
  Multidisciplinary
• Defined Work-Programme
• No Clearly Defined Claims (products, processes or
  services)
• Core Consortium New Participants During the
  Project-Phase

New Opportunities - the Challenge
Today
120 mill. sFr./y

• Swiss partners are payed project-by-project from
  the Swiss government (federal office of science
  and education)

After association

• The participation rules for an associated country
  apply to Switzerland
• Only one partner from a Member State to form a
  consortium
• Swiss partners are funded by the Commission
• Project coordination by Swiss partners
• Full participation in CRAFT projects
• Organising Euroconferences
• Marie-Curie fellowships, large infrastructure
