A consortium is a joint venture of leading academic and industrial entities which work together to develop generic technologies. The European Union's research budgets allow Israeli companies and research organizations to take part in European consortia. Since the Fifth European Programme, Israelis can participate in consortia not only as members, but also serve as coordinators, leading and facilitating research for the entire consortium. Shaham & Assoc. C.P.A (Isr.) and EurOption Ltd's expertise in finance and administration enables these organizations to manage the complex financial issues of European consortia with tremendous success. The firm has specialized in managing the finances of more than 20 Israeli consortia in 15 years. The firm's reputation and specific orientation have drawn several European consortia to request Shaham & Assoc.’s services of financial management and coordination, to manage professionally funds and reports. These comprehensive services of financial management are provided to consortia led by Migal, K.L.A. Tencor, PalBam, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the Galilee Development Authority, Tadiran Spectralink and others. Shaham & Assoc. offers many advantages. First, it allows the whole consortium to take full advantage of EU benefits. The firm's thorough understanding of EU regulations and its familiarity with R&D accountancy enables clients to receive swift and maximum support. In most cases, organizations receive support for all eligible costs, including overheads. The firm's excellent organizational skills assure compliance with strict EU accounting requirements, which necessitate that financial reports be submitted within 45 days of the conclusion of each R&D period. Adherence to this schedule is crucial to secure funds for continued research, and in addition, to maintain a positive cash flow. For example, the final settlement of accounts for the Ocsli consortium (whose R&D period concluded in December 2005), was completed by April 2006!(a record, considering that financial and technological reports had to be attained from each European and Israeli consortium member, and they had to be coordinated, consolidated and presented to the EU. The process was closely monitored, and full support was achieved for all R&D expenses). These records are appreciated not only by clients, but also by the European commission authorities, who views them as indicators of high-level professional Israeli management.

Accounting firm Shaham Assoc.C.P.A.(Isr.)along with EurOption Ltd specialize in managing the varied financial management aspects and accounting reports of over ten European consortia! / Daniel Efrati coordinating company, allowing the organization and the coordinator specifically, to focus its efforts fully on research and technology. The firm has developed professional cooperation with the EU's officers (as well as ISERD), leading to excellent results for all consortium members. Consortium members can be confident that reliable financial management Shaham & Assoc. C.P.A (Isr.) and EurOption Ltd's expertise in financial management and coordination, enables consortium coordinator to manage the complex financial issues of European consortia with tremendous success will allow them to secure needed funding. When choosing and allocating their resources among research projects, authorities will always prefer consortia whose finances are properly managed. Shaham & Assoc.’s knowledge and extensive experience are also a valuable “asset” for individual firms seeking the support of the European Programme. They can gain financial and accounting advice based upon an in-depth understanding of the entire system, and countless successful interactions and specific financial reports prepared for EU officers.

16 / 17 The European Framework Programme: RSL, IAI and ATCT: Improving aircraft maintenance Investment: 40 Million Euro Key Partners: Daimler-Chrysler, Thales, Alenia, SAGEM, BAE, Airbus, Marconi and others. Airlines spend some 20% of operating costs on maintenance, but it is possible to reduce these costs. Mechanics spend some 30% of their time trying to locate malfunctions, and human errors in maintenance are responsible for 15% of all accidents. The goal of the TATEM project is to recognize and corroborate the use of various techniques and technologies to make aircraft maintenance more efficient. Wisair: Pervasive UWB low spectral radio Investment: 37.2 Million Euro Key Partners: Motorola, Thales, STMicroelectronics, Mitsubishi, Telephonica, France Telecom and others. Wisair is participating in the PULSERS consortium, a strategic and prestigious project of the EU's Sixth Framework. The goal is the development of ultra-wide-band technology for wireless communications, including technology, infrastructure, applications, regulations, locating UWB technologies and more. The project's importance has led to the involvement of key international industries. IS-4 International: Responding to airborne threats Investment: 36 Million Euro Key Partners: Siemens, Rockwell, Airbus, BAE, Thales, EADS, Galileo Avionics and others. Leading European aerospace firms have invited the Israeli IS-4 to join the SAFEE consortium, led by the French SAGEM company. The consortium's goal is to develop new methods and technologies to improve in-flight security, particularly against terror threats. The goal of the consortium members is to ensure that every plane will complete its journey safely. The infrastructure under development includes sensors, communication systems and command and control systems capable of dealing with in-flight threats. Apnano: Nanoparticles for machine parts Investment: 19 Million Euro Key Partners: Uppsala University (Sweden), Newcastle University (UK), EADS, Rolls-Royce, the French Atomic Energy Committee and others. The Foremost Project is based upon Israeli technologies developed at the Weizmann Institute, with applications developed by Apnano, a producer of nanometric tubes and materials from non-organic compounds. These materials are exceptionally resistant to abrasion, Stories of pressure and heat, and Apnano has developed the capacity to mass produce them. The consortium examines ways to use these materials as coatings for engineering surfaces and as lubricants, to save energy and improve performance of machine parts (in aviation, automotive, energy production and heavy industry). BioKine Therapeutics: Innovative Treatments for Autoimmune Diseases Investment: 18.8 Million Euro Key Partners: Pierre and Marie Curie University (Paris), Munich University, Lodz Medical School, Novartis and others. The INNOCHEM consortium comprises a large number of research and industrial groups focusing on new chemo-kine-based treatments for autoimmunity and chronic inflammation. After five years, clinical trials will be held. BioKine is located in Rehovot. Theravir and the Hebrew University: Advancing Genetics in Medicine Investment: 18 Million Euro Key Partners: Bologna Technological Institute, The Czech Institute for Molecular Genetics, Ulm University (Germany), and others. The CLINIGENE consortium was founded with the aim of establishing a European network of researchers and industrialists in medical genetic research. The shared goal is to advance gene therapy through the development of safe and reliable systems. The network also focuses on gene transfer and the integration of studies and multidisciplinary developments in the treatment and mobilization of genes. A full range of organizations are involved in developing genetically based medical products and treatments. These include academia, industry, regulatory bodies, clinics and hospitals. Technion and ColorChip: Nanometric Structures Investment: 16.7 Million Euro Key Partners: Fraunhofer, Phillips, Carl Zeiss (Germany), the French Atomic Energy Committee and others. The CHARPAN consortium advances innovative technology in processing materials through multiple ion beams, developed by the Austrian IMS company. The technology has many potential applications, among them: production of camera micro-lenses to creating templates for nano-etching technology, fabrication of biological and chemical components for nano-labs and improving the production process for electronic components. The aim is to develop solutions for the production of minuscule, complex three-dimensional templates with precision at a nanometric level. A follow-up project, involving the Technion in operation.
