of pan-European interest 32 . This heading also supports ICT-based infrastructures (computationalsystems, databases…).• Research for the benefit of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SME) 33 : This initiativesupports SMEs or SME associations in need of outsourcing research to research performers(i.e.: universities research centres). The “Research for SMEs” action (SME-1) targets mainlylow to medium technology SMEs with little or no research capability. The “Research for SMEassociations” action (SME-2) targets associations which act on behalf of their SME membersto identify and address common technical problems and to promote the effective disseminationand take-up of results.• Regions of knowledge (REGIONS) 34 : this action aims to strengthen the research potentialof European regions, in particular by encouraging and supporting the development, acrossEurope, of regional ‘research-driven clusters’, associating universities, research centres,enterprises and regional authorities.• Research potential of Convergence Regions (REGPOT) 35 : This action supports theachievement of the full research potential of the enlarged European research area; it seeksto unlock the potential of research groups in the convergence and outermost regions of theEU. ‘• Science in society (SiS) 36 : The aim is to stimulate the harmonious integration of scientific and technological endeavour and associated research policies into European society. Itencourages Europe-wide refl ection and debate on science and technology and their relationwith society and culture.• International cooperation (INCO) 37 : this initiative aims to implement horizontal supportactions in the fi eld of international cooperation. It also aims to support the coordination ofnational policies and activities of EU Member States and Associated Countries on internationalS&T cooperation, bi-regional coordination of S&T cooperation as well as bilateralcoordination for the enhancement and development of S&T.The specific programme “CAPACITIES” also funds ‘Policy coherence’ activities under theSupport to the coherent development of research policies heading.Among the 30 “CAPACITIES” calls analysed, 44 marine-related proposals have been selectedwithin almost all activities (except for INCO – ”International cooperation”) of this specifi c programme.An EU contribution of about 91 M€ have been awarded to marine-related proposals.It accounts for about 7,4% in terms of all proposals selected within this specifi c programmeand 8% in terms of EU contribution.32within the framework of the European strategic forum for infrastructures (ESFRI) : http://ec.europa.eu/research/infrastructures/index_en.cfm?pg=esfri33http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/capacities/research-sme_en.html34http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/capacities/regions-knowledge_en.html35http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/capacities/convergence-regions_en.html36http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/sis/home_en.html37http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/capacities/international-cooperation_en.html26

However, an honourable number of proposals have also been selected under lesswell-known activities. Five proposals have been selected within “Science in Society” (SIS),another two proposals have been selected for funding under the “Research potential” heading(REGPOT) as well as two under the “Region for Knowledge” (REGIONS) heading. In terms ofscientifi c fi elds, a detailed analysis reveals that aquaculture and fi sheries, transport and energyare the most well represented sectors for SME projects. Indeed, 13 proposals out of 22 arerelated to aquaculture and fi sheries 38 . Marine related proposals related to research infrastructuresare mainly funded within the environmental and earth sciences fi eld (7) 39 . ICT based infrastructures(3) 40 are also logically well represented. The variety of proposals selected for fundingand the good proportion of marine-related ones within the “CAPACITIES” specifi c programmeemphasises the cross-cutting nature of marine sciences.With 44 proposals selected out of 238, the success rate of marine-related proposals amountsto 19% which is slightly higher than the average success rate of proposals within this specifi cprogramme (18%) 41 .38SETTLE, SALMOTRIP, OptiTEMPtank, SUDEVAB; ADAPOND, ENRICH, OptoCO2Fish, ShellPlant, PROSPAWN, ClosedFishCage,LobsterPlant, SENSBIOSYN, SMARTCATCH39MESOAQUA, EUROFLEETS, UP-GRADE BS-SCENE, EMSO, LIFEWATCH, EURO ARGO, AURORA BOREALIS40D4Science, D4Science-II, Geo-Seas41FP7 Subscription, Performance, Implementation during the first two years of operation 2007-2008”: p.5: http://ec.europa.eu/research/reports/2009/pdf/fp7-1st-two-years-subscription-performance.pdf#view=fi t&pagemode=none27
