4 Introduction This report provides a comprehensive overview of the monitoring activity carried out by DG Communication Networks, Content and Technology in It stems from the knowledge needs of internal policy makers and builds on the previous Statistical Report for Annual Monitoring (StReAM) and Integrated Programme Portfolio Analysis (IPPA) report. The research activities monitored are the ICT research actions under the Cooperation Programme and the e-infrastructures activity under the Capacities Programme of the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7), including the Artemis and Eniac Joint Technological Initiatives (JTIs), and the Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) Joint Programme (JP); as well as the policy support actions carried out under the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Policy Support Programme (CIP ICT PSP). The report is structured as follows: Chapter 1 presents a brief narrative of the main policy messages that can be drawn from the analysis carried out in the report; Chapter 2 includes an extensive analysis of the FP7 ICT theme project portfolio. The composition of the ICT Theme of FP7 is described focusing on several key aspects, such as funding allocations, participations, SMEs' involvement, strategic objectives and countries; Chapter 3 presents the key data on e-infrastructures activity; Chapter 4 presents the key data on JTIs (Artemis and Eniac) and AAL Programmes; Chapter 5 illustrates the state of play of the CIP ICT PSP programme, presenting key data on participants and projects financed under this programme; Chapter 6 presents a detailed country analysis for the 27 EU Member States on their participation to the ICT Theme of FP7. The projects included in the FP7 ICT theme and CIP ICT PSP portfolio monitoring database for 2012 are those signed before 31 December 2012 and whose negotiation phase had been finalised by that date (i.e. projects that were undergoing negotiation as of this date and were not signed are not included in the dataset supporting the report). The reported numbers for 2012 are not final and are likely to increase as more agreements are signed and recorded in the database; also, on-going projects can be subject to amendments. For this reason the reported statistical data for past years are always retrospectively updated in the following Stream Reports. iv

5 Methodology The report is based on administrative data of the whole population of projects as available in the MIS database. It analyses several aspects related to the portfolio of projects, based on descriptive statistical analysis. It provides a consolidated analysis for the years , and analysis on a yearly basis for selected indicators. To facilitate the reading and understanding please note that: a participant is defined as an organisation participating to the programme/project; a participation is defined as the involvement of an organisation in a project/programme (i.e. projects have multiple partners and an organization can be the partner of multiple projects); Analyses by year are carried out considering the year of first signature of a project. Feedback from readers is most welcome, as it will help to improve the next reports to be produced under the FP7 and Horizon 2020 monitoring systems.

21 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 2012, the seventh Framework Programme 1 (FP7) ICT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme 2 (CIP) ICT Policy Support Programme (PSP) were in their sixth year of implementation; this report covers the first 28 calls under FP7 ICT, the first 7 calls under e-infrastructures activity and the first 7 calls under CIP ICT PSP. The ARTEMIS and ENIAC Joint Undertakings were in their fifth year of implementation and have launched and managed 5 and 7 calls respectively. The Ambient Assisted Living Joint Programme was in its fifth year of implementation and has launched 6 calls 3. The key policy insights emerging from the analysis, based on data available on 1 January 2013 are 4 : In the period , the FP7 ICT research actions under the Cooperation Programme has allocated funding to 1,831 projects for a total Union funding of 6,125,195,635. This resulted in 18,177 participations by 5,553 legal entities from 117 countries; Specific Targeted Research Projects (STREPs) are the prevailing instruments in terms of funding (51% of the total), number of projects (64%) and participations (52%), followed by large scale Integrated Projects (IPs), which account for 41% of funding, 17% of projects and 29% of participations; STREPs are the prevailing instruments for almost all the strategic objectives (SOs), with the exception of International cooperation and Accompanying measures, where coordination (CA) and support actions (SA) prevail. These also represent a significant part of ICT for transport and Future and Emerging Technologies (FET). IPs are strongly present in areas such as Future Networks and Internet, Cognitive systems and robotics and ICT for health, whereas Networks of Excellence tend to concentrate in Future Networks and Internet and Embedded systems; Overall, 5,553 different legal entities have participated to the programme over the period , with an average number of 1,400 organisations taking part every year. Also, every year new organisations participate to the programme, with new entries representing a significant share of total participants, in 2012 they accounted for 41% of total participating organisations; Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are the main category of participating organisations (35% of the total) and their participation has been increasing since the beginning of FP7, reaching 15% of total funding and 18% of total participations in 2012 (from 14% of funding and 15% of participations in 2007). However, there are large differences across strategic objectives, as SMEs are especially present in Language Technologies, International Cooperation (28% of the total funding allocated to the SOs), ICT for Governance and Policy Modelling (24%), ICT for the enterprise (19%), ICT for Health and for Energy efficiency (18%), while they are marginal in 1 In the current programming period ( ) the total FP7 budget is 53 billion, 9 billion of which are allocated to ICT. 2 The programme has a budget of 728 Million for the period At the time of writing results from call 6 were not yet available for statistical purposes. 4 The figures below are cumulated for the years , unless differently stated. 1

22 FET (3%) and Cognitive Systems and Robotics (7%). Also, geographical differences emerge from the analysis, with SMEs being relatively more present (i.e. in terms of relative funding and participations) in some Member States, such as Bulgaria and Latvia; In terms of legal status of the participating organisations, FP7 is slightly more focused on governmental bodies such as universities and research centres, as compared to FP6. Nearly half of funding (46%) goes to Governmental organisations; private commercial organisations also represent a fairly large percentage (34.5%), although their relative share of funding has decreased from 40% in FP6. Private non-profit organisations on the contrary increased their participation in comparison to FP6 (18.9% from 15.7%), whereas public bodies for profit went down from 3.3% to 0.6%; In absolute terms, Germany is the biggest recipient of EC funding for FP7 ICT, followed by the United Kingdom, Italy, France and Spain. The top 5 recipients above account for 60% of the EC funding and for 58% of participations over the period When compared to the total value added of their ICT sector, Cyprus, Greece, Austria, Belgium and Germany are the EU Member States receiving the highest funding, whereas Italy, France, United Kingdom, Finland and Denmark are below the EU average. When compared to the national expenditure in research and development in the ICT sector (ICT GERD 5 ), the biggest beneficiaries are Cyprus, Slovakia, Latvia, Bulgaria and Lithuania; The patterns of participation are also reflected in the profile of the 50 top-ranking organisations (that account for one third of total allocated budget). They are in the large majority (42) research organisations, while large companies (8) are less present than in FP6 (where 17 out of 50 were large companies). In terms of geographical distribution, 45 out of 50 organisations are based in Member States, 5 in associated countries (Israel, Norway and Switzerland); The e-infrastructures activity allocated more than 496 Million in EC funding to 139 projects and 2,125 participations by 829 different organisations. Public and governmental bodies account for the majority of participations and receive more than half of EU allocated funding, with private companies representing 22% of funding and 13% of participations. Participation from large companies is very low, as they account for 5% of funding and 6% of participations, by converse SMEs tend to obtain higher funding than other institutions and entities, as they represent the same share of participations as large enterprises (6%) but account for 17% of EC funding. Non-profit organisations account for one fifth of funding and 17% of participations. In absolute terms the United Kingdom is the biggest recipient, with almost one fourth of total funding allocated over the period The UK is the biggest recipient also in comparison to the national value added of the ICT sector, followed by Bulgaria, Denmark, Poland and Greece; Since 2008 the ARTEMIS Joint Undertaking has successfully launched and managed 44 projects from its first four Calls, launched negotiations on 8 projects from its fifth Call and initiated preparations for its sixth and final Call. After four Calls, ARTEMIS- JU has 44 running projects representing a total R,D & I investment of 708 million, comprising 228 million, National contributions, 116 million contribution by the EU and 363 million from Industry. Of the 586 unique entities participating in ARTEMIS projects (with many organizations participating in multiple projects), 207 (35%) are 5 ICT GERD, calculated as the sum of ICT BERD and ICT GBAORD. 2

23 large enterprises, 210 (36%) are SMEs and 169 (29%) are public research organisations; At the end of 2012 there were 50 active projects managed by the ENIAC Joint Undertaking, with 1,102 participants from 532 organizations, out of which 217 (41%) are small and medium sized enterprises, 174 (33%) are research institutes and universities, and 141 (26%) are large companies. The total eligible costs in the 50 projects selected for funding approached 1.8 Billion, the national funding reached 396 million and the ENIAC JU contributions amount to 280 million; The first five calls of AAL programme allocated more than 86 million of EU contribution to 131 projects for more than 358 million. The EC contributed a percentage of the costs of the projects that varies from 20.98% for call 2 to 28.66% for call 1; The CIP ICT PSP allocated 466 million to 190 projects resulting in 3,398 participations by 2,314 different organisations. Public bodies represent 33% of funding received and 32% of participations; they also exceed 50% of funding received by Pilot A type of projects. SMEs receive 17% of total funding and account for 16% of participations. In absolute terms, Spain is the main recipient of funding and has overtaken Italy in 2012 in terms of funds received. When compared to the country's ICT sector total value added and ICT GERD, however, Lithuania, Malta, Latvia and Cyprus and Greece receive the highest funding; 3

24 Seventh Framework Programme As of January 2013, the FP7-ICT has funded under the ICT Theme billion to 1,831 projects that involve 5,553 different organisations in 117 countries worldwide, including all the 27 EU Member States. The projects include 18,177 participations with an average project funding of 3.3 Million and an average funding per participation of 337,000. Compared to FP6, the funding allocated by year has slightly increased (+1%) 6, the number of projects funded per year is higher (+8.2%), whereas the number of participations and participating organisations has decreased (-15% and -17% respectively). Compared to FP6, the balance has shifted more towards STREPs type of projects, while IPs tend to attract less funding and fewer participants than in FP6. Consortia tend to involve fewer partners (9.9 instead of 12.7 under FP6) but receive more or less the same amount of funding, so that the average funding per participation shows an increase (+19.5%). Several consortia build on previous experiences of collaboration and tend to reiterate them, as emerged by other studies conducted by the European Commission. Research institutions are the main category of participants to ICT FP7 projects, accounting for 63% of funding and 57% of participations; in some countries they account for more than that, as in Finland (76%), Greece (75%) and the United Kingdom (72%). The participation of SMEs under the ICT Theme of FP7 has been increasing over the years, reaching 15% of total funding and 18% of total participations in Future Networks and Internet and ICT for health together account for 18% of the total funding going to SMEs (ca. 78 Million and 76 Million respectively). SMEs' participation varies across strategic objectives: when looking at the relative presence by SO, in Language technologies and ICT for the enterprise SMEs account for almost one third and roughly one fourth of the total funding, whereas they almost absents in areas such as FET and Cognitive Systems and Robotics. In some countries SMEs play a very important role, as they represent a relatively higher share of total participants and account for a larger share of funding: e.g. they account for almost 66% of total funding in Bulgaria and more than one third in Hungary, Latvia and Slovakia. Large companies in FP7 attract 21% of funding and 22% of participations and are slightly less represented than in FP6, as it is also reflected in the top 50 ranking, out of which only eight are large private companies. The percentage of funding allocated to large companies is relatively higher in Luxembourg (56%), France (30%), Spain (28%), Germany (26%), Estonia (25%) and Italy (24%), countries that are home to world players such as Telefonica or Thales. Moreover, large companies tend to be among the largest recipients in associated and third countries. In terms of geographical coverage, when compared to data for FP6 7, Germany is in absolute terms still the main recipient in 2012 (20.95% of total funding in FP7, 1.5 percentage points more than in FP6). France's percentage of funding has shrunk to 10% from 13.2%, while Italy and the UK are stable at 10% and 11% respectively. ICT Research and Development activity is concentrated in a number of key regions in Europe that attract the most talented researchers, as shown by the regional analysis of FP7 ICT funding and participations at NUTS 3 level. In the period , the top 50 6 The 6th Framework Programme (FP6) funded European Research and Technological Development from 2003 until FP6 allocated over four years 4,041,739,263.6 to 1,128 projects. 7 Data for FP6 comes from the IPPA 2006 report. Bulgaria and Romania were not included in the report. 4

25 Regions in Europe 8 participations 10. attracted 63% of total funding 9, accounting for 60% of the total As for funding, the top 50 Regions are located in 14 Member States, whereas in terms of participations, the top 50 include regions from 17 Member States. In some countries the R&D activity is heavily concentrated in the capital region. Paris and Madrid account for 44% and 40% of funding respectively; the other top beneficiaries (Germany, Italy, the UK) by converse show a more diverse picture, with funding distributed among several important poles of research. The main hubs for ICT research in Europe are Munich, Paris and London 11, followed by Madrid, Athens, Milan and Rome; the regions of Budapest, Ljubljana, Prague and Warsaw are among the top 50 in terms of participations. Moreover, various degrees of specialisation exist in Europe, as shown by the analysis by strategic objective. Germany is the top recipient of funds in all categories but three and the country attracts 32% of funding in ICT for the Enterprise and 29% in ICT for Transport. The United Kingdom is the leading country in the SOs ICT for learning and Digital libraries, with 19% and 18% of total funding respectively, and together with Germany accounts for 15% in ICT for Health. Italy is relatively strong in ICT for ageing (15% of total funding), Cognitive Systems and Robotics (14%), FET and Language Technologies (13%). France has a relatively strong presence in Nanoelectronics (17%), Future Networks and Internet (16%) and International Cooperation (15%), whereas Spanish organisations excel in ICT for inclusion (16%) and ICT for Energy efficiency (14%). Swiss companies are particularly strong in Micro and nanosystems (9%). The Netherlands are relatively stronger in Organic and large area electronics (14%), while Belgium has a relatively strong presence in Nanoelectronics (10%). Greek companies are active mostly in ICT for Governance and Policy Modelling (11%) and ICT for Health (8%). Austria stands out for its share (13%) in ICT for Governance and Policy Modelling. Under the e-infrastructures activity projects financed by DG CONNECT under the Capacities programme more than 496 Million in EC funding has been allocated over the period to 139 projects and 2,125 participations by 829 different organisations. In 2012, DG CONNECT commissioned a three-year study 12 to analyse the patents and publications 13 resulting from the FP7 ICT projects. The analysis of the main outputs of the programme is a key aspect for an evidence-based policy approach towards research and development. In 2014 an ex-post evaluation of the FP7 ICT will be carried out by DG CONNECT to comprehensively examine the outputs, results and impacts of EU funded research in the field of ICT under FP7. 8 NUTS3 level classification. 9 Total funding allocated to NUTS 3 level Regions in Member States: 5.6 billion. 10 Total participations in NUTS 3 level Regions in Member States: 16, In the NUTS3 classification, London is split in five different NUTS 3 regions; the total EU funding of the five is considered here. 12 Analysis of publications and patents of ICT research in FP7, Smart 2011/ The analysis is based on data from the FP7 projects survey carried out by DG CONNECT, cross-checked with the existing patents and publications databases (e.g. PATSTAT and Scopus). The first yearly report (2012) analysed peer-reviewed articles and proceedings papers for the year 2011 and patent data for the years 2009 and

26 CIP ICT PSP The CIP ICT Policy Support Programme has a budget of 728 Million for the period It supports the wider uptake of ICT in Europe including particularly the priorities expressed within the i2010 and Europe2020 initiative. It aims to stimulate innovation and competitiveness and accelerate the development of a sustainable, competitive, innovative and inclusive information society. Under the calls considered in this report, 466 Million have been allocated to 190 different projects. This results in 3,398 participations by 2,314 different organisations. The average amount of funding received is 2.45 Million per project and 137,000 per participation. However, the CIP ICT PSP is a heterogeneous programme that contains projects that are different in terms of size and nature of participants. Pilot A are projects which are mainly addressed at the public administrations of the member states for the deployment of a given ICT platform. Pilot As are large projects ( 8.7 Million in funding on average) mainly targeting ministries and public bodies of the Member States, while pilot B focus on the uptake of innovative ICT based services and products and represent more than 60% of total funding. Finally, Thematic Networks show a smaller size and more open to private sector companies and universities. Pilot B types of projects received the bulk of funding, with 283 Million. Thematic Networks and Best Practice Network received 24.4 and 58.9 Million respectively. Public bodies represent 33% of funding received and 32% of participations; they also exceed 50% of funding received by Pilot A type of projects. SMEs receive 17% of total funding and account for 16% of participations. The Europeana foundation is confirmed as the largest single recipients of funds (as in 2011), and Spain has overtaken Italy in 2012 in terms of absolute funds received. 6

27 2 PART I FP7 STATISTICAL ANALYSIS The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) is the main funding scheme of the European Union for Research and Development. The budget for the current programming period ( ) is 53 billion, 9 billion of which allocated to ICT. The analysis in the following sections is based on the FP7 ICT database as of 1 January 2013, and considers the projects signed by 31 December Portfolio analysis This section provides an overview of the ICT Theme of FP7 portfolio's composition, drawing comparison with FP6 and among the years In a nutshell FP7 is in its sixth year of implementation and the total funding allocated over the years reached 6,125,195,635; Overall 5,553 different organisations from 117 countries participated to the 1,831 projects funded over the period considered, for a total of 18,177 participations; Under the FP7 ICT projects tend to get smaller than in FP6, but the average amount per participant is increasing. Consortia have fewer partners on average; Compared to FP6, the funding allocated by year has slightly increased (+1%), the number of projects funded per year is higher (+8.2%), whereas the number of participations and participating organisations has decreased (-15% and -17% respectively). The average funding per project has decreased (-6.6%), whereas the average EC funding per participant has increased (+19.5%); Compared to FP6, funding has been strongly rebalanced towards Specific Targeted Research Projects (CP-STREPs), whilst it has been reduced for large scale Integrated Projects (CP-IP) and Networks of Excellence (NoEs). Overall participation, funding and project figures In 2012 the ICT Theme of FP7 was in its sixth and penultimate year of implementation. As a result of the 28 calls launched in the period , 1,831 projects have been funded for a total Union funding of 6,125,195,635, approximately two billion more than the total funding allocated under FP6 ( 4,041,739,264) over four years. The number of projects closed as of 31 December 2012 was Compared to FP6, the funding allocated by year has slightly increased (+1%) 15, the number of projects funded per year is higher (+8.2%), whereas the number of participations and participating organisations has decreased (-15% and -17% respectively). The average funding per project has decreased (-6.6%), whereas the average EC funding per participant has increased (+19.5%) (Table 1). 14 It includes projects classified in the database as 'finished normally' (n=404) and 'terminated with unknown status' (n=378). 15 The 6th Framework Programme (FP6) funded European Research and Technological Development from 2003 until FP6 allocated over four years 4,041,739,263.6 to 1,128 projects. 7

Overall, 5,553 different legal entities have participated to the programme over the period , with an average number of 1,400 organisations taking part every year. SMEs represent 35% of the organisations, followed by Research institutes and universities (29%), and by large enterprises (26%). The remaining 11% of organisations are national ministries and non-profit institutions such as foundations. Also, every year new organisations participate to the programme, with new entrants representing a significant share of total participants, in 2012 for instance they accounted for 41% of total participating organisations (Figure 3).

30 2.1.3 Calls launched As of January 2013, a total number of 28 calls had been launched under FP7 ICT (Table 2). In terms of funding, the largest call was call 1 (launched in 2007), under which billion were allocated, followed by call 4 (launched in 2009), call 8 (2011), call 7 (2011) and call 5 16 (2009). The bulk of funding (approximately 5.6 billion) was received by "General" calls, representing 92% of the total funding for FP7 ICT (Figure 4).

However, they are new participations. 10

31 Figure 4 FP7 EC funding per call Overall analysis by type of instrument FP7 ICT includes five different types of instrument, classified as follows: Collaborative projects - large scale integrated projects (CP-IP). IP funding is for research projects carried out by consortia with participants from different countries, aiming at developing new knowledge, new technology, products, demonstration activities or common resources for research in a comprehensive programme approach including a coherent and integrated set of activities dealing with multiple issues; Collaborative projects - small or medium scale focused research actions (CP-STREP). They cover research projects carried out by consortia in a sharply focused approach; Collaborative projects - Specific International Cooperation Actions (CP-SICA) 17. Here funding is given to support to research project carried out by consortia in a special form of international co-operation projects / infrastructures; Coordination and Support Actions (CSA) - Support to activities aimed at coordinating or supporting research activities and policies (networking, exchanges, coordination of funded projects; trans-national access to research infrastructures, studies, conferences, etc.); and Networks of Excellence (NoEs) - Support to Joint Programme of Activities implemented by a number of research organisations integrating their activities in a given field, carried out by research teams in the framework of longer term cooperation. 17 CP-SICA and INFRA are mentioned together as they are both "residual" types of instrument in terms of number of participations and funding received. INFRA refers to the FP6 instrument, while SICA refers to FP7 CP instrument. 11

32 CP-STREP and CP-IP are the main instruments in terms of EC funding; together they represented 84% of funding in FP6 and 92% of funding in FP7 ICT. In FP7 there has been a shift in balance towards CP-STREPs, and a corresponding decrease in CP-IPs. With an increase of about 1.7 billion (from billion of allocated funding in FP6 to billion) in FP7, CP-STREPs represent in FP7 the main instrument of funding, accounting for half of the total funding allocated (from 34% in FP6 to 51% in FP7). Funding to CP-IPs has slightly increased from million to million, with a decrease in sharing of total funding from 50% to 41% (Figure 5). Another trend observed is the sharp decline for NoEs, which have seen their budget halved from the previous programme (from 315 million to 164 million) and the increase in funding for CSAs (from 172 million to 310 million). CP-SICA and FP6 INFRA are presented together, although the two instruments differ in nature and objectives and are therefore not comparable. As a result of funding allocation, the distribution of number of projects and participations by instruments is substantially similar to the distribution of EC funding by instrument under FP7 ICT. The number of CP-STREPs projects funded sharply increased from 623 in FP6 to 1,165 in FP7 (representing 64% of the total projects funded); CP-IPs increased from 231 to 318 (17% of total projects), while CSAs increased from 207 to 303 (16.5% of total projects). The NoEs declined from 57 to 39, i.e. representing only 2% of the total projects funded (Figure 6). Also in terms of participations, CP-STREPs significantly increased by about three thirds, with 9,531 as compared to 5,386. The NoEs experienced the sharpest decline (more than 9 percentage points), representing today only 4% of participations. Participations in IP projects have increased from 4,854 to 5,348 (ca. 30% of the total number of participations), whereas CSAs relative weight is substantially unchanged, at ca. 13% of total participations (Figure 6).

34 2.2 Project Data The instruments financed under FP6 and FP7 have complementary functions that contribute to fulfilling the objective of the ICT Theme of FP7. They lead to very different types of projects that vary in terms of number of participants, financial volume, legal status of organisations involved and strategic objectives. This section presents key data on the projects funded, the number of participants and the legal status of participating organisations In a nutshell The following main points emerged from the analysis of project data: The average number of participants per project is 10 (lower than in FP6, 12.7); On average, the EC total funding per project is 3.35 million, compared to 3.58 million in FP6; The total average funding per participation amounts to 337,000 in FP7 (compared to 282,000) under FP6. In terms of average EC funding per organisation, there is a slight increase from 900,000 to more than 1,144,000 in FP7; In terms of funding evolution, there was an increase in funding per participant and participation and a decrease in funding per project, while funding project coordinators remains the same; In terms of legal status of participants: Private commercial organisations are the majority of organisations (61%), followed by governmental organisations (23%) and private non-profit organisations; Governmental organisations receive the largest percentage of funding, followed by Private commercial organisations, Public non-profit organisations and Public organisations for profit; Governmental organisations account for the highest number of participations; Public non-profit organisations show the highest average EC funding per participation; Considering the different Strategic Objectives Networking, FET and ICT for Health attract the highest number of participations and the largest share of funding Average number of participations Compared to FP6, FP7 ICT projects tend to have fewer partners. The average of number of participants per project went down from 12.7 for FP6 projects to 9.9 for FP7. This reduction concerns to a different extent all the types of instrument. The reduction in number of participants is especially remarkable for IPs (from 21 to 16.8), and for NoEs, with an average number of participants down from 34 to 20. Although the number of participants in NoEs decreased, it is relatively higher compared to the other types of instruments, due to the nature and aim of this instrument, i.e. networking (Figure 7). 14

35 Figure 7 FP average number of participations per project type 18, (cumulated figures) Funding to projects The average funding per project in FP7 is lower than the funding received under FP6 (-6.6%) and is around 3.35 million. The average EC funding for NoEs projects decreased by almost one fourth from 5.52 million in FP6 to 4.2 million in FP7 (-24%), whereas the average EC funding for IPs went down from 8.76 million in FP6 to 7.87 million (-10.2%). STREP increased in terms of average funding by 21%, with an average EC funding at 2.69 million in FP7 ( 2.22 million in FP6). The average size of CSA shows a steady increase, from 0.83 million in FP6 to 1.02 million in FP7 (+23%). Figure 8 FP average EC funding per project (cumulated figures) 18 CP-SICA/INFRA instrument is not shown due to the negligible influence. 15

36 2.2.4 Funding to partners EC funding per participation increased substantially under FP7 ICT, from an average 282,000 in FP6 to 337,000 for the current programme (+19.47%), with all instruments showing an increased average funding per participation. IP is the instrument with the largest participation in size ( 468,000), followed by STREPs ( 329,000) and NoEs ( 209,000). CSAs average funding is 127,000, the sharpest increase from FP6 (+38%). In terms of average funding per organisation, under some instruments it remained stable (IPs: +1.15%) or decreased (NoE: -6.41%), whereas it doubled or had a three-fold increase under others (STREPs: %; CSA: +72.8%) (Figure 9). Figure 9 FP average EC funding per organisation (cumulated figures) Funding evolution The reduction in the number of participations per project (Figure 7) is accompanied by an increase in average funding per organisation (from 900,000 in FP6 to 1,144,000 in FP7), whereas the average funding per project in FP7 ( million) is below the average funding per project in FP6 ( 3.58 million). In terms of funding received by project coordinators, the total funding for FP7 ICT is slightly below the figure for FP6 ( 698,000 and 708,000 respectively). 16

37 Figure 10 Funding evolution, FP6 and FP7 (Millions, cumulated figures) Type of organisations FP7 ICT attracts different categories of organisations. The PPM database allows distinction in the following categories: High Education Institutions and Research Centres (HES/REC); Large Companies (LARGE); Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs 19 ); Other organisations (NIL 20 ). HES/REC organisations are 29% of the total, but they represent by far the most significant category of recipients in terms of funding (63%). SMEs represent 35% of participating organisations and account for 14% of funding; large companies are the 29% of participating organisations and represent 20.5% of funding; the remaining 11% are other organisations, accounting for 2.5% of funding. The same trend as for funding can be observed for participations, with research centres and high education institutions accounting for more than half of the participations (57.4%), followed by large companies (21.5%), SMEs (16.1%) and other organisations (5%). Project coordinators also belong to research centres or higher education institutions in the large majority of projects (68%), and to large companies in 21% of projects. Project coordinators from SMEs account for 9% of coordinators (compared to 16% of participations). 19 A thorough analysis of the SMEs trends for FP7 ICT is carried out in section This category is mainly composed of national ministries and non-profit institutions such as foundations. 17

39 2.2.7 Legal status Organisations taking part in the FP7 ICT are classified by legal status in the following categories: GOV (Governmental organisation); PNP (Private non-profit organisation); PRC (Private Commercial organisation); PUC (Public bodies that are for profit). Nearly half of funding (46%) allocated under FP7 ICT goes to Governmental organisations, (23% of the total participating organisations); private commercial organisations, the majority (61%) in number of organisations, also represent a fairly large percentage (34.5%), although their relative share of funding has decreased from 40% in FP6. Private non-profit organisations (14% of the total organisations) on the contrary increased their participation in comparison to FP6 (18.9% from 15.7%), whereas public bodies for profit (1% of organisations) went down from 3.3% to 0.6%. In terms of participations, however, the relative share of participants has only slightly changed in comparison with FP6, except for Public bodies for profit, which under the current FP account for 0.9% of total participations only (from 3.3% in FP6). Governmental organisations account for 44.5% of the total (43.6% in FP6), private commercial organisations represent 38% (unchanged from FP6), whereas private non-profit organisations represent 16.7% of total, increased from 15% in FP6. On average, governmental organisations tend to be involved in a higher number of projects (6), followed by private non-profit organisations (4), public bodies for profit (2.5) and private commercial organisations, which on average participate to 2 projects (Table 3). Private non-profit organisations receive on average more funding per participation ( 381,585) followed by governmental organisations with 348,318 and by private commercial organisations ( 307,119), while public bodies for profit are the organisations receiving less EC funding per participation on average ( 209,257). Table 3 Funding, participations and organisations by legal status, (cumulated figures) Legal status of participating organisation Total funding (Million ) Participations Organisations Average number of participations/ organisation Governmental organisation 2,816 8,084 1,292 6 (GOV) Private non-profit 1,158 3, organisation (PNP) Private Commercial 2,116 6,889 3,417 2 organisation (PRC) Public bodies that are for profit (PUC) Total 6,125 18,177 5,553 The overall picture that emerges from the considerations above is that FP7 is in line with FP6 patterns of financing, although FP7 is slightly more focused on governmental bodies such as universities and research centres, as compared to FP6, as reflected by the small decrease in 19

40 funding received by private companies. This is also confirmed by the analysis of the top 50 participants carried out in section Top 50 Participants In a nutshell The top 50 organisations (by EC funding) represent almost 30% of the total EC funding allocated; 84% of top 50 funding is allocated to universities, research centres and other public or governmental bodies; 16% of the total EC funding allocated to the top 50 organisations goes to private companies; Only 8 private companies are found in the top 50 recipients; The top recipient alone represents 3% of total funding and is present in 20% of projects Participations This section focuses on the main participants to FP7-ICT projects. Overall, the top 50 organisations represent almost 30% of the budget allocated (Table 4). The Fraunhoefer Institute is the largest single recipient (as in 2009, 2010 and 2011 reports), with 331 participations, amounting to approximately 189 million of funding, i.e. 3% of the total EC funding allocated. The German institute is present - either as coordinator or partner in more than 300 projects, which represent 20% of the total number of projects funded by FP7-ICT. Other large recipients include research centres of countries like France (Commissariat à l' énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique), Belgium (Interuniversitair Micro-electronica centrum VZW), Finland and Italy, but also several technical universities (Lausanne, London, Munich or Zurich). Universities and research centres account for the large majority of funding, with 84% of the 1.8 billion EC funding received in total by the top-50 recipients. On average, an organisation of the top 50 ranking has participated to 74 projects and has received ca. 34 million of EC funding. Eight large private companies are present in the ranking, with a total EC funding received over the period of about 282 million, representing 4.6% of total EC funding (15% of the total funding received by the top-50 organisations). The figures show a decrease in participations from private companies (and their relative importance among the main recipients) over the years, a trend even more important when compared to data related to the FP6, where 17 out of 50 organisations were private large companies. The first private company in the top-50 ranked organisations (3 rd in the ranking) comes also from Germany (SAP AG), with a total of 81 participations and a total EC funding equal to 75.1 million. Other large corporations are from Spain, France, Netherlands, Italy and Israel. In terms of geographical distribution, 45 out of 50 organisations are based in the EC15; the remaining five are based in associated countries (Israel, Norway and Switzerland). None of the 50 top-ranking organisations is based in a new Member State. Germany has 10 organisations in the ranking, followed by the UK with 6, France and the Netherlands with 5 each, Italy and Spain with 4, Greece and Belgium with 3. Furthermore, several of the organisations included above are located in specific geographic areas such as the Parisian 20

41 basin, South East England or Bayern, indicating a clear geographic concentration, across and within Member States.

42 2.4 Country analysis The following section presents an overview of countries' involvement in the ICT Theme of FP7. The analysis distinguishes between Member States, associated countries 21, accession countries 22 and third countries. For each Member State, an additional country fiche is presented in Annex In a nutshell In absolute terms, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Italy and Spain are the top 5 recipient countries, accounting for more than 60% of the EC funding and for 58% of participations; The number of participations and the percentage of funding allocated to associated countries has increased from FP6 to FP7 by one percentage point, representing 7.2% of the total; Accessing and third countries' participation is negligible, with a share of total funding below 1% (0.5% and 0.7% respectively) Country analysis Member States attract the bulk of EC funding and participations: with more than 16,000 participations (about 90% of the total number of participations) and funding of more than 5.6 billion, almost 92% of the total (in line with 2011 figure), although with relevant differences among Member States (this aspect is further discussed in the next section). Table 5 Participations and EC funding by country group (cumulated figures ) Country Group Participations % EC funding % EU Member States 16, % 5,610,769, % Associated countries 1, % 443,084, % Accession countries % 30,286, % Third countries % 41,054, % 18, % 6,125,195, % Associated countries represent 6.2% of participations and 7.2% of funding, mainly due to the presence of research-oriented players such as Switzerland, Norway and Israel; this finding is in line with previous years' results. Associated countries are particularly present in strategic objectives such as FET, where they account for 12% of total EC funding allocated for this SO, Trustworthy ICT (10%) and Micro/nanosystems (10%). Organisations from associated countries also act as coordinators in 98 projects. Accession countries (Western Balkans and 21 Under associated countries we include EEA and EFTA countries (Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland) together with Far Oer Islands and Israel. Iceland is also included in this group. These are countries that are contributing financially to the FP7. Accession countries have also signed a MoU and are at any effect associated to the FP7 programme. However, for analytical reasons they are dealt with separately in this chapter. 22 Accession countries include candidate countries (Croatia, FYR Macedonia, Montenegro and Turkey) and potential candidate countries (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo under UNSCR 1244/99 and Serbia). 22

43 Turkey) receive a marginal part of funding (slightly below 1%) and 164 participations, with 9 projects coordinated in total. Finally, third countries represent 3% of participations, but only 0.7% of EC funding. This is due to the fact that participations from third countries are often linked to support and coordinated actions, where organisations are part of large consortia with budget divided among several organisations. The presence of third countries is particularly relevant in the strategic objective "International cooperation" where they represent 48% of participations and 26% of EC funding (compared to 25% in 2011 and 30% in 2010). Figure 13 FP7 ICT EC participations by country group and year, Figure 14 FP7 ICT EC funding by country group and strategic objective (cumulated figures ) 23

44 2.4.3 Member States In absolute terms, over the period German organisations dominate funding and participations, being the recipient of 21% of the total funding, with more than 3,000 participations. Germany is followed by the United Kingdom, France, Italy and Spain; the above Member States account for about 60% of total funding allocated over the period. Table 6 FP7 ICT EC funding and participations per Member State (cumulated figures ) Country EC Funding Percentage Participations Percentage Member States 5,610,769, % 16, % GERMANY 1,283,042, % 3, % UNITED KINGDOM 710,564, % 1, % FRANCE 615,322, % 1, % ITALY 612,931, % 2, % SPAIN 479,913, % 1, % NETHERLANDS 335,851, % % BELGIUM 262,109, % % GREECE 259,699, % % AUSTRIA 216,155, % % SWEDEN 207,631, % % FINLAND 134,888, % % IRELAND 98,740, % % PORTUGAL 85,991, % % DENMARK 79,875, % % POLAND 48,159, % % HUNGARY 33,012, % % SLOVENIA 31,213, % % CZECH REPUBLIC 30,549, % % ROMANIA 18,977, % % CYPRUS 18,140, % % LUXEMBOURG 11,795, % % BULGARIA 11,163, % % SLOVAKIA 9,754, % % ESTONIA 7,745, % % LITHUANIA 2,947, % % LATVIA 2,708, % % MALTA 1,884, % % When compared to the total value added of their ICT sector (2009 data; EC funding/million total ICT total ICT sector value added), Cyprus, Greece, Austria, Belgium and Germany are the EU Member States Member States receiving the highest funding, whereas Italy, France, United Kingdom, Finland and Finland and Denmark are below the EU average (Figure 15). When compared to the national expenditure in ICT research and development (ICT GERD 23, Figure 16), Cyprus is the main beneficiary, followed by Slovakia, Latvia, Bulgaria and Lithuania, whereas countries with high expenditure in ICT, such as Sweden, Denmark, Ireland and Finland have a lower ratio, suggesting that these countries rely relatively little on this source of funding. 23 ICT GERD, calculated as the sum of ICT BERD and ICT GBAORD. 24

46 In terms of average size of participations, the average EC funding received ranges from ca. 130,000 for Malta, Lithuania and several accession countries to more than 400,000 in Germany, Israel and Norway. The average EC funding per participation amounts to 385,000 for the UK, higher than France ( 315,000) and Italy (ca. 290,000). Germany leads the highest number of projects (11% of the projects it participates to), followed by Italy (12%) and Spain (15%). Some countries tend to express a lower number of participations, but are more likely to take a leading role. When comparing the ratio of projects coordinated against the number of projects participated, Greek, Belgian and Austrian organisations result also very active as project coordinators. The highest ratios are found for Latvia and Luxembourg (23% and 16%). Some countries such as Bulgaria and Lithuania do not have any project coordinator. Figure 17 FP7 ICT project coordination per Member State, (cumulated figures) Associated and accession countries Associated countries account for slightly above 7% of EC funding and generated 1,126 participations, roughly 6% of the total (Table 7). Associated countries are generally advanced countries with heavy investment in R&D. Switzerland is the ninth largest recipient in terms of funding and three Swiss organisation can be found in the Top 50 ranking presented above. This ranking also includes one Israeli and one Norwegian organisation. Swiss organisations coordinate 53 projects, followed by Norwegian and Israeli ones with 24 and 20 project coordinators respectively. These figures show an upward trend compared to FP6, where only 5.7% of funding was directed towards associated countries (source: IPPA 2006). 26

In terms of thematic areas, third countries represent 26% of the budget allocated to the strategic objective "International cooperation", with an amount of almost 10.4 million. This strategic objective also accounts for 202 of the 505 third countries' participations. 27

49 2.5 Regional analysis Research and Development activity in Europe is concentrated in a number of key regions that attract the most talented researchers; ICT is not an exception to this trend. In the period , the top 50 Regions in Europe (NUTS3 level classification) attracted 63% of total funding 24, accounting for 60% of the total participations 25 (Table 10). As for funding, the top 50 Regions are located in 14 Member States, whereas in terms of participations, the top 50 include regions from 17 Member States. In some countries the R&D activity is heavily concentrated in the capital region, and out of the 1,766 Regions in Europe (NUTS3 level classification), only 661 (37%) have been beneficiaries of FP7 ICT funding over the period Helsinki attracted 78% of the overall EC funding allocated to Finland over the period , whereas Lisbon and the Attiki-Athens region account respectively for 59% and 58% of the total EC funding received by Portugal and Greece. Paris and Madrid account for 44% and 40% of funding respectively; the other top beneficiaries (Germany, Italy and the UK) by converse show a more diverse picture, with funding distributed among several important poles of research, with ten German, seven Italian and six English cities listed in the top 50 regions. In terms of overall EC funding received over the period , Munich is the European city that leads, followed by Paris, London 26 and Madrid. Munich has several companies located in its urban area such as Siemens and BMW, and it is also the seat of the Munich Technical University and various departments of the Fraunhoefer Institute. The regions of Budapest, Ljubljana, Prague and Warsaw are in the top 50 in terms of participations (Cyprus, Sofia and Bucharest are part of the top 100). 24 Total funding allocated to NUTS 3 level Regions in Member States: 5.6 billion. 25 Total participations in NUTS 3 level Regions in Member States: 16, In the NUTS3 classification, London is split in five different 5 NUTS 3 regions; the total EU funding of the five is considered here. 29

51 2.6.1 In a nutshell SMEs represent 16% of the total participations in FP7-ICT and 14% of the total funding, in line with the objectives of the programme; Compared to FP6, both the total funding and the number of participations increased, with an increase from 11-12%% to 14%, and from 15% to 16% respectively; SMEs tend to take more part in STREPs and less in IPs and NoEs than in FP6; The main strategic objectives for SMEs' participations are ICT for health and Future networks and internet; Bulgaria has the highest rate of funding received by SMEs (66% of the total funding received by the country) and the highest percentage of participations represented by SMEs (49%) SMEs participation and funding Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) represent one of the main categories of participants in ICT Theme of FP7 (35% of participating organisations are SMEs). The definition of SMEs used in this report is limited to private companies that meet the SME criteria (narrow definition), therefore public-owned SMEs (e.g. small research centres) are not included. However, in order to compare both with FP6 and with other themes of FP7 27, a broader definition is also considered. Applying the 'narrow definition', over the period , SMEs accounted in FP7 for 16% of total participations (2,935 in total) and 14% of total EC funding ( 850 million in total). In comparison with FP6, a slight upward trend is observed, as in the previous programme SMEs accounted for 15% of participations and 12% of funding (Figure 18). The increasing SMEs' participation is shown by the analysis on a yearly basis ( ) of their incidence over the total EC funding and participations (Error! Reference source not found.). 27 As for the IST component of FP6, both a narrow and a broad component were used to assess the presence of SMEs. As for the narrow definition, the ISTpact project (Study into the impact of FP6 IST July 2012 IPs, STREP, NoE), reported SME Participation at 15.66% and the total funding at 12.03%, whereas in the Stream Report 2011 the SME Participation was 14.8% and the total funding at 11.3%. As for the broad definition, the IPPA 2006 indicated SME Participation at 20.6% and total funding at 16.2%, whereas the Stream 2011 indicated SME Participation at 19.4% and total funding at 15.2%. A broader definition relying on self-declared SMEs is adopted by DG RTD in its monitoring report on the Seventh Framework Programme. In this report small research centres and foundations are counted as SMEs. 31

52 Figure 18 SMEs' participation and funding narrow definition, (cumulated figures) Figure 19 SMEs' participation and funding to FP ICT projects narrow definition, share (%) over total funding and participation, by year ( ) Applying the 'broader definition', data show that the share of funding has remained stable at 15%, whereas the participation rate has slightly decreased compared to FP6, from 19% to 17.5% ( 32

53 Figure 20). This might be due to an additional check that is carried out by DG CONNECT under FP7 to verify the genuine nature of SMEs declaration. The message is that FP7 is more attracting to private SMEs with respect to FP6, even if the total figures for self-declared SMEs are declining. Another effect of the additional check is that the difference between the two classifications in FP7 is much smaller than in FP6. 33

54 Figure 20 SMEs' participation and funding broad definition, (cumulated figures) SMEs by instruments 28 In terms of funding, STREPs and IPs are the main instruments of SMEs' participation (accounting together for 94% of the total), followed by SA (4%) and CA (1.4% 29 ), NoEs (0.5%) and SICA with 0.1%. These shares are in line with those of FP6 ( Figure 21), although there has been from the previous programme a reallocation of funding from IPs to STREPs (from 47% to 39% and from 46% to 55%). The relative shares among different instruments correspond in large part to the trends in participation, with the exception of CA and SA, which account respectively for 3.3% and 8.3% of participations, even though they absorb a relatively smaller share of funding. Figure 21 FP6 and FP7 SMEs funding by instruments (for FP7 cumulated figures ) 28 This section and the following present statistics based on the narrow definition of SMEs as described above and including FET. 29 CA and SA are reported together in the chart, for the purpose of comparison with FP6 figures. 34

55 Figure 22 -FP6 and FP7 participations by instruments (for FP7 cumulated figures ) SMEs presence by Strategic Objectives SMEs funding varies greatly across Strategic Objectives (SOs). SMEs are present notably in SOs such as Future Networks and Internet (9.2%), ICT for Health (9%), Software, Services and the Internet (6%), Photonics (6%), ICT for Energy Efficiency (5.7%), Embedded System (5.5%), ICT for enterprise (5.4%) and Intelligent Information Management (5.3%). These eight SOs represent 52.4% of the total funding, lower than 54.2% and 55.4% in StReAM 2011 and 2010 respectively, suggesting that SMEs are increasing their participation in more and different strategic objectives. Strategic objectives are different in each framework programme; therefore it is not possible to capture the evolution of SMEs funding. However, the cross-programme analysis reveals that while in FP5 and in FP6 the strategic objectives that had the largest number of SME participation were application-related, SME participations are still high in advanced application fields (ICT for Health, ICT for Transport, etc.) but also in highly innovative technology fields (embedded system, photonics, micro/nanosystem, etc.). 35

56 Figure 23 FP7 ICT Distribution of SMEs funding by strategic objective (% of total funding allocated to SMEs, cumulated figures ) The incidence of SMEs on the total funding received and on the total number of participations varies according to the strategic objectives considered (Table 11). Overall, the incidence in terms of participations is higher than the incidence in budgetary terms (with some exceptions), suggesting that on average SMEs obtain less funding than other types of organisations. SMEs are especially present in international cooperation, where they represent 28% of the funding and 16% of participations, whereas they are particularly weak in FET (3% of funding, 21% of participations) and in Cognitive systems and robotics (7% of funding, 23% of participations). 36

61 2.7 Analysis by strategic objective Funding in FP7-ICT is structured around eleven key R&D areas, representing the challenges to be addressed if Europe is to become one of the world leaders in next generation ICT and their applications. These are: Challenge 1: Pervasive and Trusted Network and Service Infrastructures; Challenge 2: Cognitive Systems and Robotics; Challenge 3: Alternative Paths to Components and Systems; Challenge 4: Technologies for Digital Content and Languages; Challenge 5: ICT for Health, Ageing Well, Inclusion and Governance; Challenge 6: ICT for a low carbon economy; Challenge 7: ICT for the Enterprise and Manufacturing; Challenge 8: ICT for learning and access to cultural resources; Challenge 9: FET; Challenge 10: International cooperation; Challenge 11: Horizontal actions. As several of these challenges include many operational objectives, which are very different in nature, the following analysis is based on the disaggregation of the challenges included in the work programme into 24 different strategic objectives (SOs). The SOs differ in terms of industrial sectors and typology of organisations participating, as well as in terms of countries' specialisations. Table 13 FP7 ICT EC funding, number of projects and participations by Strategic Objective (cumulated figures ) Strategic Objective EC funding % Projects % Participations % 01 Future Networks and Internet 774,872, % % 2, % 02 Software, Services and internet connected objects 333,484, % % % 03 Trustworthy ICT 280,123, % % % 04 Networked Media 236,075, % % % 05 Cognitive Systems and Robotics 430,641, % % % 06 Nanoelectronics 206,422, % % % 07 Micro/nanosystems 242,472, % % % 08 Embedded Systems 292,196, % % 1, % 09 Photonics 299,828, % % % 10 Organic and large area Electronics 171,997, % % % 11 Language Technologies 111,557, % % % 12 Intelligent Information Management 235,573, % % % 13 ICT for Health 434,337, % % 1, % 14 ICT and Ageing 93,295, % % % 15 ICT for Inclusion 113,837, % % % 16 ICT for Governance and Policy Modelling 41,339, % % % 17 ICT for Energy Efficiency 266,142, % % % 18 ICT for Transport 304,259, % % 1, % 19 ICT for the Enterprise 243,155, % % % 20 ICT for Learning 241,419, % % % 21 Digital Libraries 69,055, % % % 22 FET 574,037, % % 1, % 23 International Cooperation 40,297, % % % 24 Accompanying Measures 88,772, % % % Total 6,125,195, % 1, % 18, % 41

62 Future Networks and Internet is the SO that attracts the largest share of funding (12.7%) and the highest number of participations (12.9% of the total), followed by FET (9.4% of funding and 9.8% of participations), which accounts for the highest number of projects (13.4%). Other major objectives in terms of funding and participations are ICT for Health (7.1% and 6.5%), Embedded systems (4.8% and 5.9%) and ICT for transport (5% and 5.7%) (Table 13). International Cooperation, ICT for Governance and Policy Modelling and Digital Libraries account for the smallest amounts of funding (0.7%, 0.7% and 1.1% respectively), although in the case of the SO International Cooperation the share of projects is 2.6%, indicating the very small average size of these projects. The largest number of projects per aggregated SO can be found in FET (13%), followed by Future Networks and Internet (10%), Embedded Systems (6.2%), Cognitive Systems and Robotics (6%), and ICT for Health (Table 13). FET display more projects than the SO Future Networks and Internet, despite the difference of about 200 million in allocated budget. The SOs Digital libraries and ICT for Governance and Policy Modelling have only 15 and 22 projects respectively. STREPs are the prevailing instruments for almost all the strategic objectives, with the exception of International cooperation and Accompanying measures, where coordination and support actions prevail. IPs are strongly present in areas such as Future Networks and Internet, Cognitive systems and robotics and ICT for health. NoEs tend to concentrate in Future Networks and Internet and Embedded systems. CA and SA represent a significant part of International cooperation, Accompanying measures, ICT for transport and FET. Figure 28 FP7 ICT number of projects per aggregated SO by instrument, (cumulated figures) 42

63 Figure 29 FP7 ICT EC funding per aggregated SO by instrument, (cumulated figures) Different specialisation patterns emerge from the analysis of country presence by strategic objective. The top 10 countries represent around 80% of total funding for almost all the strategic objectives, with the exception of the strategic objective International cooperation (60%), where accession and third countries play a major role. The top 10 countries show a relative strength in different areas of research: Germany is the top recipient of funds in all categories but three. The country attracts 32% of funding in ICT for the Enterprise and 29% in ICT for Transport; The United Kingdom is the leading country in the SOs ICT for learning and Digital libraries, with 19% and 18% of total funding respectively, and together with Germany accounts for 15% in ICT for Health; Italy is relatively strong in ICT for ageing (15% of total funding), Cognitive Systems and Robotics (14%), FET and Language Technologies FET (13%); France has a relatively strong presence in Nanoelectronics (17%), Future Networks and Internet (16%) and International Cooperation (15%); Spanish organisations excel in ICT for inclusion (16%) and ICT for Energy efficiency (14%); Swiss companies are particularly strong in Micro and nanosystems (9%); The Netherlands is relatively strong in Organic and large area electronics (14%); Belgium has a relatively strong presence in Nanoelectronics (10%); Greek companies are active mostly in ICT for Governance and Policy Modelling (11%) and ICT for Health (8%); Austria stands out for its share (13%) in ICT for Governance and Policy Modelling. 43

114 3 PART II FP7 E-INFRASTRUCTURES ACTIVITY This chapter focuses on the e-infrastructures activity and on the portfolio analysis of the projects financed by DG CONNECT under this heading. The Research Infrastructures programme is funded under the FP7 'Capacities' Specific Programme. The e-infrastructures activity, as a part of the Research Infrastructures programme, focuses on ICT-based infrastructures and services that cut across a broad range of user disciplines. It aims at empowering researchers with an easy and controlled online access to facilities, resources and collaboration tools, bringing them the power of ICT for computing, connectivity, storage and instrumentation. In DG CONNECT, it focuses on the further development and evolution of the high-capacity and high-performance communication network (GÉANT), distributed computing infrastructures (grids and clouds), supercomputer infrastructures, simulation software, scientific data infrastructures, e-science services as well as on the adoption of e-infrastructures by user communities. 3.1 Funding, participations and projects The e-infrastructures activity has allocated over the period million of EC funding. It has financed 139 projects, resulting in 2,125 participations by 829 different legal entities. Table 38 e-infrastructures activity portfolio, (cumulated figures) e-infrastructures activity FP7 EC Funding 496,027,567 Number of projects 139 Participations 2,125 Organisations 829 Average project size 3,568, Average EC funding per participant 233, A specific characteristic of the e-infrastructures activity is the number of third parties involved (457 participations), 246 of which do not receive any EC funding. Most of these third parties are Joint Research Unit (JRU) members. JRU is the mechanism to pool entities of the same nationality under a single beneficiary, thus allowing structuring the national e- Infrastructure actors. Funding has been allocated through 7 calls, starting in 2007 (Figure 80). 94

115 Figure 80 e-infrastructures EC funding by call, Instruments and legal status of participants All the projects under e-infrastructures activity are CSA or CP-CSA (Figure 81).

120 4 PART IV JTIS AND AAL This section gives information about the composition of the Joint Technology Initiatives (JTIs) ARTEMIS and ENIAC, and of the Ambient Assisted Living Programme (AAL). 4.1 JTIs ARTEMIS and ENIAC are Joint Technological Initiatives organised as tripartite (involving industry, Member States and the European Commission) Public Private Partnership. Their aim is to integrate in a pan-european strategic programme, research and technology development in the fields of Embedded Systems (ARTEMIS) and Nanoelectronics (ENIAC). JTIs are autonomous initiatives publishing their own annual reports in which more information can be found. JTIs aim to develop public-private partnerships established at European level in order to leverage more R&D investments from member states, associated countries and industry, to boost European competitiveness and to reduce fragmentation of EU R&D. JTIs are closely linked to the work of European Technology Platforms. In a small number of cases, European Technology Platforms achieved such an ambitious scale and scope that they required the mobilisation of large public and private investments as well as substantial research resources to implement important elements of their Strategic Research Agendas. JTIs represent an effective mean of meeting the needs of this small number of European Technology Platforms. The Joint undertakings were formally established in 2008 and they are going to last until The overall contributions for ARTEMIS were anticipated to be 2.5 billion and 2.8 billion for ENIAC, out of which about 1/6 originates from the ICT Theme of FP ARTEMIS ARTEMIS (Advanced Research & Technology for Embedded Intelligence in Systems) was established in 2004 as the European Technology Platform for Embedded Systems. The technology platforms were conceived to bring together public and private stakeholders to set up and implement common research agendas in fields of industrial relevance. The industry-led ARTEMIS initiative aims to consolidate the position of Europe as a leading worldwide player in the design, integration and supply of Embedded Systems. The ARTEMIS JTI was established to take forward the work of the Technology Platform and build on it. The Joint Undertaking (JU), is a public-private partnership between the European Commission, Member States and ARTEMIS-IA, a not-for-profit Industrial Association formed by private stakeholders that participated in setting up the ARTEMIS ETP. The Joint Undertaking was established in 2008 to manage and coordinate research activities through open calls for proposals in a ten-year, 2.5 billion research programme on Embedded Computing Systems. The programme is open to organisations in European Union Member States and Associated Countries. 100

121 Since 2008 the ARTEMIS JU has successfully launched and managed 44 projects from its first four Calls, launched negotiations on 8 projects from its fifth Call and initiated preparations for its sixth and final Call. After four Calls, ARTEMIS-JU has 44 running projects, representing a total R,D & I investment of 708 million, comprising 228 million of National contributions, 116 million contribution by the EU and 363 million from Industry. The Average Countries per Project is about 7, compared to a historically typical 3 to 5, indicating that the ARTEMIS programme has achieved one of its high-level goals - reducing fragmentation by enlarging the typical project footprint at a European level. Of the 586 unique entities participating in ARTEMIS projects (with many organization participating in multiple projects), 207 (35%) are Large Enterprises, 210 (36%) are SMEs and 169 (29%) are public research organisations. That more that 70% of the participants are industrial players indicates the true industrial focus of the programme. That 36% of the organisations are SMEs can be explained by the National contribution, favourable to SME participation, and the establishment of local ARTEMIS networks. The distribution of investment over the 8 ARTEMIS Sub-Programmes shows a large distortion in favour of ASP1 (Safety-critical systems, with 32%) and ASP5 (Architectures, with 26%): ASP1 because of its high importance for the Transport and Medical industries, attracting larger projects with directly industrially relevant outcomes, and ASP5 through the high technical complexity of low-power multi-core platforms, attracting generally smallerscale projects and higher academic content. The effort distribution over the three Industrial Priorities too shows a strong bias towards Design Methods and Tools, driven partly by the preponderance of ASP1 projects and also due to the other priorities (Reference Designs and Architectures, and Seamless Connectivity and Middleware) necessarily requiring development tools to support them.

122 enhancing the further integration and miniaturisation of devices and increasing their functionalities. The ENIAC JU is set up as a public-private partnership, bringing together the European Commission and European Member and Associated States with AENEAS, the association representing the R&D actors in nanoelectronics (Corporate, SME's, research institutes and universities) in Europe. At the end of 2012 there were 50 active projects in the ENIAC JU programme, with 1,102 participants from 532 organizations, out of which 217 (41%) are small and medium sized enterprises, 174 (33%) are research institutes and Universities, and 141 (26%) are large companies. The total eligible costs in the 50 projects selected for funding approached 1.8 Billion, the national funding reached 396 million and the ENIAC JU contributions amount to 280 million.

123 The SMEs engaged 200 million in the projects, representing 11% of the eligible costs, consequently receiving 11% of the ENIAC JU grants and 49.4 million (12.5%) of the national funding. The trend of strong SME participation continued in 2012: in the projects selected for funding in Calls (Call 6) and (Call 7) there are 247 participations from 178 organizations, among which there are 61 SMEs representing 34.3% of the participating organizations. In 2012, the SMEs contributed 58.3 million of the total eligible costs, a 36% increase over the previous year. In 2012, however, the large companies had an even stronger engagement, so that percentagewise the SME contribution represented 6.9% of the total eligible cost. They received 8.7 million grants from the ENIAC JU, (7.0% of the total, the same proportion as the eligible costs) and 13.5 million (9.9%) of the national contributions.

124 4.2 AAL Joint Programme The objective of the AAL Joint Programme (AAL JP) is to enhance the quality of life of older people and strengthen the industrial base in Europe through the use of Information and Communication Technologies. The motivation of the new funding activity is in the demographic change and ageing in Europe, which implies not only challenges but also opportunities for the citizens, the social and healthcare systems as well as industry and the European market. The AAL Joint Programme is initially set up for six-year duration from 2008 to The programme s planned total budget is 700 M, of which approx. 50% is public funding - from the AAL Partner States and the European Commission - and approx. 50% is private funding from participating private organisations (e.g. enterprises) 32. The public funding consists of contributions of the national programmes of the AAL Partner States (this funding is only granted to the successful project partners residing in the respective Partner State) and that of the European Community. The EC financial contribution amounts to a maximum of 150 M for the duration of the AAL Joint Programme At the time of writing results from call 6 were not yet available for statistical purposes. So far, 131 projects have been financed under the first five calls, involving partners from 23 European countries: 20 European member states (Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece 33, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom) and 3 Associated States: Israel, Norway and Switzerland 34. The European Commission is not part of the implementation structures but contributes with a substantial financial support that is granted on the basis of article 185 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). The first five calls allocated more than 86 million of EU contribution to projects for more than 358 million. The EC contributed for a percentage that varies from 20.98% for call 2 to 28.66% for call 1.

130 5 PART III CIP ICT-PSP This chapter analyses the composition of the CIP ICT PSP programme, based on the analysis of projects signed as of 1 January The ICT PSP supports the realisation of European policies, in particular the Digital Agenda for Europe, and is aligned with its priorities. It aims at stimulating smart sustainable and inclusive growth by accelerating the wider uptake and best use of innovative digital technologies and content by citizens, governments and businesses. In addition to illustrating and validating the high value of digital technologies for the economy and society, it will foster the development of EU-wide markets for innovations enabling every company in Europe to benefit from the largest internal market in the world. Particular emphasis is put on areas of public interest, given their weight in the European economy and the unique solutions that ICT can bring to the societal challenges that lie ahead such as health and ageing, inclusion, energy efficiency, sustainable mobility, culture preservation and learning as well as efficient public administrations. The main challenges include the relatively slow uptake of ICT innovations in the public sector and the high fragmentation of relevant markets, due notably to a lack of interoperability between ICT solutions deployed across the member states and Associated Countries. The ICT PSP covers technological and non-technological innovations that have moved beyond the final research demonstration phase. The ICT PSP does not support research activities that fall under the scope of the FP7. There are no significant changes compared to the data included in StReAM 2011 as for the projects' structure and the average amounts of funding allocated to projects. The Europeana foundation is confirmed as the largest single recipients of funds (as in 2011), and Spain has overtaken Italy in 2012 in terms of funds received Portfolio analysis In a nutshell The CIP ICT PSP has allocated over the period million, distributed to 190 different projects and 3,395 participations from 2,314 different organisations; The average project receives around 2.45 million of EC funding, while the average funding per participation is 137,000; Pilot B types of projects received the bulk of funding, with 283 million, whereas Thematic Networks and Best Practise Network received only 28 and 59 million respectively; Public bodies represent 33% of funding received and 32% of participations; they also exceed 50% of funding received by Pilot A type of projects. SMEs receive 17% of total funding and account for 16% of participations Funding, participations and projects The CIP ICT PSP has allocated over the period million, divided in 190 different projects and 3,395 participations from 2,314 different organisations. The average 110

131 project receives around 2.45 million of EC funding (increased from 2.3 million in 2011), while the average funding per participation is 137,000 (lower than in 2011 and 2010). Table 43 Main data concerning CIP ICT PSP, (cumulated funding) CIP ICT PSP EC Funding 466,077,712 Number of projects 190 Participations 3,398 Organisations 2,314 Average EC funding per project 2,453,041 Average EC funding per participation 137,162 The fifth call was by the largest one as it allocated 115 million (Figure 99).

132 5.1.3 Instruments CIP ICT PSP includes four different types of instrument: Pilot (Type A) - building on initiatives in Member States or associated countries; Pilot (Type B) - stimulating the uptake of innovative ICT based services and products; Thematic Networks (TN) - providing a forum for stakeholders for experience exchange and consensus building; Best Practices Networks (BPN) ad hoc instruments only active in certain scientific areas Pilot (Type A): this type of pilot focuses on implementing and demonstrating interoperability by creating service operations between cooperating Member States in the context of agreed policy priorities. Services should be already operational at national, regional or local level in the Member States or associated countries participating in the operation of the proposed pilot. Alternatively the services should be in advanced phase of national/regional testing. The main outcome of this type of pilot is the implementation of an open, common interoperable service solution based on an initial common specification agreed amongst participants in the pilot. Pilot (Type B): type B pilots aim at a first implementation of an ICT based innovative service addressing the needs of citizens, governments and businesses. The pilots should be carried out under realistic conditions. The emphasis is on fostering innovation in services, consequently the pilot may need to take-up completed R&D work, may extend already tested prototype services or may combine/integrate several partial solutions to realise a new innovative approach. Whichever approach is taken, the outcome of the work shall be an operational pilot service demonstrating significant impact potential. It is considered essential from the outset that the pilot will engage a complete value-chain of stakeholders in the work. Thematic Networks (TN): thematic networks address a common theme by bringing together relevant stakeholders, expertise and facilities with the objective of exploring new ways of implementing ICT-based solutions. The network may activate working groups, workshops and exchanges of good practices, with the aim of creating the necessary conditions and consensus on action plans, standards and specifications and in view to ensure the widest future replication and co-deployment of innovative solutions. The network should provide guidance for ICT-enabled solutions and their roll-out and will highlight the remaining obstacles to be overcome. Best Practice Network (BPN): Best Practice Network (BPN) was a funding instrument open only for the theme "digital libraries" for a transition period (up to 2011). The objective was to promote the adoption of standards and specifications for making European digital libraries more accessible and usable by combining the "consensus building and awareness raising" function of a network with the large-scale implementation in real-life context of one or more concrete specifications or standards by its members. Pilot B type of projects received more than half of funding available (60.8%) with 283 million (Figure 100), to which million of funding from partners are added. Thematic networks are covered for their entirety by EC funding, while Pilot A are covered by partners for more than half of the amount. 112

133 Figure 100 CIP ICT PSP EC budget distribution by instrument, (cumulated figures) Figure 101 CIP ICT PSP EC funding and total cost, (cumulated figures) 113

134 In terms of number of projects, Pilot B are the largest majority (126 out of 190, i.e. 66% of the total), whereas Pilot A are 11 (5 more than in 2011) and BPNs are 17 (13 more than in 2011). By crossing data on projects with those on EC funding, it is noted that there are differences in terms of average EC funding received by type of projects, with TN receiving around 787,000, and Pilot As reaching an average of 8.7 million. Similarly, Pilot B account for more than half of the total participations (53%), followed by the thematic networks (23%). Pilot A projects have the highest average number of participants per project (35, 32 in 2011 and 23 in 2010), while Pilot B only have 14 partners on average, indicating that pilot A tend to attract new participants as long as they mature. Pilot A also have the higher average EC funding per participant ( 245,800), whereas thematic networks have the lowest with an average EC funding of 36,200.

135 5.1.4 Analysis by organisation type Organisations taking part in the CIP ICT PSP are classified by type in the following categories: HES/REC (High Education and Schools and Research Centres); PUB (Public Bodies); SMEs (Small Medium Enterprise); LARGE (Large companies). Ministries and public bodies attract most of the funding (32%), followed by high education and research centres (30%) and large companies (21%). SMEs receive 17% of the total funding. However, large differences exist across instruments (Figure 104), confirming findings of 2011 data. Pilot A projects attract mainly governmental bodies and very few SMEs, while Pilot B have a more balanced presence of the various organisation types. Large companies represent more than 20% of funding for Pilot A and Pilot B projects, while SMEs reach the 20% threshold only in pilot B. Governmental bodies are attracting half of funding for thematic network, where the presence of private sector is limited (one fourth in total between large companies and SMEs). As for participations (Figure 105), the distribution by organisation type is similar to the distribution of the EC funding received.

136 Figure 105 CIP ICT PSP participations by organisation type, (cumulated figures) 5.2 Top 20 participants In a nutshell Top 20 organisations and bodies represent more than 13% of funding; The top recipient at the end of 2012 was the Europeana foundation, which represents alone 2.5% of total funding Participations This section focuses on the main participants to CIP ICT-PSP projects. The top 20 organisations represent 13.3% (15.2% in 2011 and 17.3% in 2010) of the budget allocated. The Europeana foundation, which has its legal seat in the Netherlands, is the largest single recipient of CIP ICT PSP funding with 11.5 million and ten participations. The foundation is followed by the Norwegian Agency for Public Management and egovernment, with 5 million and three participations. Other large recipients include Atos (ES) and CapGemini (NL) together with public bodies such as regions (Bremen Veneto, Southern Denmark, Veneto), national bodies (such as the Justice ministry of Nordrhein Westfalen) but also several research centres (the Italian CNR and the Fraunhoefer Institute) and private companies (like Engineering or Empirica). Germany and the Netherlands have three organisations, whereas Denmark, Greece, Italy and Spain have two (Table 39). 116

138 5.3 Country Analysis In a nutshell In absolute terms, Spain and Italy top the ranking in terms of number of participations, number of project coordinators and funding received. Compared to the size of their ICT sector, Lithuania, Malta, Greece, Latvia and Cyprus receive the highest funding; Almost all participations come from Member States (95%), with the important exception of Norway. Accession countries are increasing their presence in CIP ICT PSP projects compared to 2010; The Europeana foundation is the largest single recipient of EC funding under the CIP ICT PSP. Aggregate country analysis This section presents the statistics related to the geographical distribution of the EC funding and participations. Member States represent the bulk of EC funding and participations (Table 45), with more than 95% for a total funding of more than 445 million. Associated countries represent only 2.6% of participations and 2.7% of funding; these figures are lower if compared to the presence of associated countries in the FP7 ICT. Norway is the most important player under the CIP ICT PSP. Accession and third countries still receive a marginal but growing part of funding (1.8% in 2012 compared to 1.2% in 2011 and 0.4% in 2010), and have more participations than in 2011 (80 instead of 38). Overall therefore the CIP ICT PSP appears to be a programme focused on the Member States, with the important exception of Norway. Table 45 CIP ICT PSP - Participations and EC funding by country group, (cumulated figures) Participations % EC funding % MS 3, % 445,261, % ASS % 12,441, % ACC % 8,275, % OTHER 5 0.1% 100,376 0% 3, % 466,077, % Country analysis In 2012, Spain is the largest beneficiary in absolute terms, position held by Italy in 2010 and 2011, country that ranks second in Italy is followed by Germany, while the Netherlands rank fourth, followed by the UK and Greece (Table 46). Compared to the size of their ICT sector (Total ICT sector VA), Lithuania, Malta, Greece, Latvia and Cyprus receive the highest funding (Figure 108). In comparison with the national investment in ICT R&D, Lithuania, Latvia, Malta, Cyprus and Romania are the top recipients (Figure 109). Spanish organisations have also the highest number of participations (421, 12.4% of total participations), whereas Italian participations are 388 in total. Belgium ranks third with 273 participations (8%), although it ranks eight in terms of funding (6%), this suggests a smaller size for Belgian participations, probably due to the doubling of institutions present in the country. The United Kingdom accounts for 7.9% of participations, followed by Germany (7.7%). Third countries such as Monaco, the Vatican and Japan are also taking part in CIP ICT PSP projects, but they do not receive any funding 118
