• “IDEAS” (SP2)The “IDEAS” 21 specifi c programme (7,5 billion€ over 2007-2013) is a novelty of FP7. It addresses“frontier research” and is aimed at enhancing the dynamism, creativity and excellence of independentteams of researchers. Solely based on the criteria of scientifi c excellence, researchprojects may be carried out in any area of science & technology, including engineering, socioeconomicsciences and the humanities. Unlike the “COOPERATION” programme, there is noobligation for cross-border partnerships. Projects are implemented by independent teamsaround a “principal investigator” (PI) located in the European Union or Associated countries.The programme is implemented via the European Research Council 22 (ERC) and comprisestwo different schemes: “ERC starting independent researcher grants” (“ERC Starting Grants”)and “ERC advanced investigator grants” (“ERC Advanced Grants”).• Starting grants 23 provide attractive support to the careers of excellent researchers who areat the stage of starting or consolidating their own independent research team or, dependingon the fi eld, their independent research programme (2-10 years after PhD).• Advanced grants 24 encourage and support excellent and innovative investigator-drivenresearch projects initiated by leading advanced research leaders (at least 10 years of significantresearch achievements).The ERC has yearly calls for proposals covering all scientifi c fi elds: “Life Sciences” (LS), “SocialSciences and Humanities” (SH), and “Physical Science and Engineering” (PE). The evaluationinvolves at least 25 peer review panels covering all fi elds of science, engineering and scholarship.Over the fi ve calls for proposals analysed within the “IDEAS” specifi c programme, 14 marinerelatedproposals have been selected for funding in both types of grants (Starting grants andAdvanced grants). Four successful marine-related proposals have been selected for fundingwithin the “advanced grant” scheme while 10 have been selected within the “starting grant”scheme. Although the proposals selected cover the three main scientifi c fi elds: “Physical sciencesand engineering” (PE), “Life sciences” (LS) and “Social sciences and Humanities” (SH),the vast majority of proposals has been selected within the “Physical sciences and engineering”panel (10 proposals). An EU contribution of about 22 M€ have been earmarked to marinerelatedproposals. It accounts for about 1.6% of all proposals selected within “IDEAS” and1.8% in terms of EU contribution.21http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/ideas/home_en.html22http://erc.europa.eu/index.cfm23http://erc.europa.eu/index.cfm?fuseaction=page.display&topicID=6524http://erc.europa.eu/index.cfm?fuseaction=page.display&topicID=6622
Analysis andinventory of FP7 marine-related ed proposalsposaWith 14 proposals selected out of 410, the success rate of marine-related proposals is about3% which is relatively close to the average success rate of proposals (4%) within “IDEAS” for2007-2008.IDEASNb proposalssubmittedNbProposals selected for fundingEU contribution (M€)Total marine and nonmarine proposals13863 828 1212Marine proposals 410 14 22Ratio marine/total 3% 1.8% 1.8%Rate of success (marinesubmitted/marine selected)3%See list of marine-related proposals in Part II: Inventory of marine-related projects funded underthe 2007-2008 calls for proposals (p. 33)• “PEOPLE” (SP3)The “PEOPLE” specifi c programme supports activities under 5 main headings to promote themobility and training of researchers all over their career:• Initial training of researchers (“PEOPLE 1”) aims to improve mostly young researchers’career perspectives in both public and private sectors, by broadening their scientifi c andgeneric skills (i.e.: Initial training network scheme – ITN 25 ).• Life-long training and career development (“PEOPLE 2”) supports experienced researchersto acquire new skills or competences (i.e.: “Marie-Curie Intra-European Fellowship”scheme – IEF, Marie-Curie Co-funding of Regional, National and International programmes– COFUND) or to prepare their return to long-term employment after a mobility period(i.e. “Marie-Curie European Reintegration Grant” scheme – ERG, Marie-Curie InternationalReintegration Grant scheme – IRG). 26• Industry-academia pathways and partnerships (“PEOPLE 3”) aims to stimulate inter-sectoralmobility and increase knowledge sharing through joint research partnerships betweenorganisations from academia and industry, in particular SMEs (i.e. Industry Academia –Pathways and Partnership scheme – IAPP). 27• International dimension-World fellowships (“PEOPLE 4”): activities supported under thisheading contribute to the life-long training and career development of EU-researchers. It alsoaims to attract research talent from outside Europe and to foster collaboration with researchactors at international level (i.e. International Research Staff Exchanges Scheme – IRSES,25For details see on CORDIS: Marie Curie Initial Training Networks (ITN)26For details see on CORDIS:Marie Curie Intra-European Fellowships for Career Development (IEF) Marie Curie European Reintegration Grants (ERG) Marie CurieInternational Reintegration Grants (IRG) Marie Curie Co-funding of Regional, National, and International Programmes (COFUND)27Marie Curie Industry-Academia Partnerships and Pathways (IAPP)23
