On July 20 2010, the EU announced a package of FP7 collaborative R&D calls including Public Private Partnerships in the thematic areas of ICT and NMP. The total funding made available for these calls amounts to 6.4 billion Euros and is open to organisations in EU member states and associated countries. Key to making the most of these opportunities is collaborative development where end users, technology, product and application developers are all brought together.
On 25th August 2010 the UK Technology Strategy Board announced an £18M Technology Inspired collaborative research and development Call to stimulate innovation across its key enabling technologies. The core technology areas covered by this competition are:
- Advanced materials
- Biosciences
- Electronics, Photonics and Electrical Systems
- High Value Manufacturing
- Information and Communications Technology
- Nanotechnology
To encourage the participation of Electronics, Sensors, Photonics KTN (ESP KTN) members in these R&D calls, the ESP KTN is hosting a number of dissemination events around the UK. On Thursday 16th September 2010, ESP KTN will hold an event in Scotland at the Alba Innovation Centre, Livingston in partnership with the Scottish Optoelectronics Association, Electronics Scotland and Enterprise Europe Network.
