Expressions of Interest

Purpose

Consult research community on its readiness to

prepare actions using the new instruments (NoE

and IPs) in order to: assist in the preparation of work programme assist in determining the scope of first calls facilitate integration of key players


Slide 4


Main steps in the process

Invitation to submissions 21 March 2002

Deadline for submissions 07 June 2002

Assessment by experts June-July 2002

Publication on CORDIS 29 Sept. 2002


Slide 5


Assessment process

1 Pre-assessment by Commission servicesSorting and tracking eligible EoI by research topic

2 Assessment by experts (5 external + 2 EC) Individual assessment of each EoI Individual assessment of all EoI relevant to each research topic

3 Panel assessment in a ‘consensus’ meetingAssessment of all EoI eligible in each research topic

4 Reporting of results Internal report Publication on CORDIS

EoI - Management of Radioactive WasteStatistics

103 EoI submitted

43 EoI submitted addressing “other activities” or out of scope 60 EoI cover the objectives of the research areas:

Geological Disposal Partitioning and Transmutation & other concepts to produce less

waste

26 EoI suitable for the new instruments (4 NoE / 22 IPs ) 34 EoI more suitable for “classical” instruments

Slide 11

EoI - Management of Radioactive WasteResults

1. Geological Disposal (22 EoI = 4 NoE, 18 IPs)NoE to cover cross-cutting activities

Improvement of fundamental knowledge of key processesTo be covered by a few IPs

Developing and testing disposal technologyTo be covered by an IP

New and improved tools for performance & safety assessmentTo be covered by an IP; other IPs need coupling with research on processes

Governance processes: public concern to waste disposal“Classical” instruments more suitable for this topic


Slide 12


2. Partitioning & TransmutationLargely covered, but only 4 IPs are suitable

Suggestion: make separation between Partitioning: to be covered by an IP Transmutation: to be covered by one/several IP(s)

‘Impact of P&T on waste management and geological disposal’: targeted project more suitable for “classical” instruments


Slide 13


3. Concepts to produce less waste No EoI suitable for implementation using the new

instruments Topic would be best implemented using “classical”

EoI - Radiation Protection

Main Statistics

99 EoI received

74 formally assessed

Distribution between instruments

~70% IP, ~ 25% NoE

Distribution among submitting organisations

Research - 55%

University - 24%

Industry - 7%

Other - 14%


Slide 16


Epidemiological studies - 9%

Cellular and molecular biology - 13%

Medical exposures - 18%

Natural sources - 16%

Protection of the environment - 7%

Radioecology - 14%

Risk management - 6%

Emergency management - 11%

Protection of the workplace - 6%


Slide 17


Main outcomes

only a small number “ready” or “mature” no NoE “ready” - instrument not understood most submissions not of sufficient scope, importance or ambition for new instruments process disappointing in narrow context process highly useful in a broader context


Slide 18


Topics “ready” for implementation using IPs Epidemiological studies Cellular and molecular biology Medical exposures (in part) Protection of the environment Emergency management


Slide 19


Topics with potential

for becoming “ready” later

Radioecology Protection of the workplace


Slide 20


Topics not suitable for use of new instruments

Natural sources of radiation Risk management


Slide 21

EoI assessment Conclusion on the exercise (1/2)

Over 200 EoI treated in WM and RP WM: several EoI suitable for new instruments, covering well

the objectives and aims of the priority thematic RP: only a small number suitable. Some topics to become

“ready” later (Not sufficient scope or lack of ambition). NoE not well understood

Suitable EoI in WM have the ambition to develop sound technical basis for the demonstration of the safety of the ‘geological disposal’, or to reduce hazard of the waste


Slide 22

Non qualified EoI, i.e. neither sufficiently developed nor mature for early implementation in FP6, look more

suitable for ‘classical instruments’ (i.e. concepts to produce less waste)

Training aspects are inherently part of research and should be kept in IPs and NoE
