5.           Progress achieved by the ENIAC JU

1.1. Introduction to the ENIAC JU

The ENIAC Joint Undertaking (hereinafter referred to as "ENIAC JU") was established by Council Regulation (EC) 72/2008 of 20 December 2007 as a public-private partnership between the European Commission, the participating Member and Associated States (by now 22 countries)[1] and AENEAS[2], a non-profit industrial association of R&D actors in the field of semiconductors.

The ENIAC JU has been set up for a period up to 31 December 2017 with the main objective to tackle the research and innovation in nanoelectronics technologies and their integration in smart systems. The goal is to define and implement a Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) on Nanoelectronics-Based Systems in Europe. ENIAC JU aims to help European industry consolidate and reinforce its position in nanoelectronics technologies and systems.

The nanoelectronics industry is the provider of all integrated circuits found in all devices and equipment requiring either standalone computational capacity or interaction with human beings or their environment. Progress of the past decades in work efficiency was largely driven by such smart systems and devices. It is evident that personal computers, cell phones and related personal devices improved the life quality of people overall. These devices however are only the visible part of the applications of integrated circuits. The embedded systems cover the whole field of exploiting the advances of nanoelectronics to embed smart capability in more and more systems, vehicles, traffic management, sensors, lighting just to mention a few examples surrounding us.

The strategic importance of nanoelectronics and embedded systems was recognized and triggered the establishment of ENIAC and ARTEMIS JUs as a way to improve European competitiveness in these enabling fields. First of all, they allow for a concerted effort at the European level through the funding of R&D projects where the industry is a major actor. This is done through Strategic Research Agendas established by the related ETPs, i.e. AENEAS in the case of ENIAC. The vision was to reduce duplication and improve the cooperation between the R&D public and private actors in Europe. Furthermore this helped to cope with the fast increasing R&D costs in nanoelectronics due to extreme miniaturization. Funding down to innovation is increasingly necessary to help this field address the innovation gap and bridge R&D to market. This is helped to keep innovation capability in Europe instead of producing high class research further industrialized elsewhere.

In 2011, the impact of strong initiatives such as the High-Level Group on Key Enabling Technologies (KET) produced a positive influx on the activities of the ENIAC JU. Increased support by Member States allowed the ENIAC JU to successfully execute 2 calls. As a result the previous down-going trend in funding has been reversed. Moreover, the provision for a KET-related call in the Annual Work Programme 2012 was approved at the end of 2011. By this approval, the partnership acknowledged that higher levels of Technological Readiness must be included and should get the appropriate attention. A further preparation for the 2012 KET call was the launch of a KET Expression of Interest enquiry, which triggered a very good response and shows opportunities for further significant increases in the future budget execution of the JU.

It coordinates research activities through competitive calls for proposals to enhance the further integration and miniaturization of devices, and increase their functionalities while delivering new materials, equipment and processes, new architectures, innovative manufacturing processes, disruptive design methodologies, new packaging and ‘systemising’ methods. It will drive and be driven by innovative high-tech applications in communication and computing, transport, health care and wellness, energy and environmental management, security and safety, and entertainment.

1.1.1. Budget

The maximum EU contribution to the ENIAC JU covering running costs and R&D activities is set to € 450 million paid from the appropriations in the general budget of the European Union allocated to the theme "Information and Communication Technologies" of the Specific Programme "Cooperation" under the FP7. The research activities of the entity are supported also through financial contributions from the ENIAC member States amounting to at least 1.8 times the EU contribution (i.e. at least € 810 million for a total EU contribution of € 440 million) and through in-kind contributions by research and development organisations participating in projects, which at least match the contribution of the public authorities.

1.1.2. Governing structure

The ENIAC JU is managed by an Executive Director. Its governance structure comprises a Governing Board (GB), a Public Authorities Board (PAB) and an Industry and Research Committee (IRC).

1.2. Outline of the main activities and achievements in 2011

1.2.1. Key milestones

A decline in effective commitments to funding by the ENIAC member States occurred in previous years. 2011 was the first year of reversed trend. This trend is expected to continue in 2012. 

In 2011 ENIAC JU:

Launched 2 calls for proposals (4th and 5th);

Launched a call for Expression of Interest in pilot lines;

Tuned the selection procedures to quantify the synergy of project proposals with national and European priorities; and

Addressed the 1.8 factor included in the Council regulation setting up the ENIAC JU, to correct the deviating trend noticed over the first 4 years.

1.2.2. Organisation of the team in ENIAC JU

The composition of the ENIAC JU executive team developed significantly in 2011, with the recruitment of additional staff. On 31 December, the team is composed of 6 Temporary agents and 7 contract agents (against 5 and 5 in 2010), as foreseen in ENIAC multi annual staff policy plan.

1.2.3. Address the 1.8 ratio

The decision was taken by the Public Authority Board to reduce the ENIAC JU's participation to 15% of the total of the eligible costs and up to 52% of the ENIAC member State contributions granted to the calls for proposals. This is resulting from the observation that the 1.8 ratio between the ENIAC JU and the member States grants to the projects would likely not be achieved at the life end of ENIAC JU, in the present trend of a lowering ratio.

This decision should result in a (close to) 1.8 ratio, under the two following assumptions; first,  ENIAC JU will consume the maximum EU contribution in the Council Regulation; second, the ENIAC member States will fund their participants at similar funding rates as in the past (i.e. achieving a total ENIAC member States and ENIAC funding rate of around 44%).

1.2.4. Progress in the implementation of the Strategic Research Agenda

The Annual Work Programme 2011 is based on the "Vision, Mission and Strategy for European Micro- and Nanoelectronics", jointly set out with CATRENE. The topics are shown in the table below.

APPLICATIONS || TECHNOLOGY

Automotive and Transport || Intelligent Electric Vehicle || Design Technology || Managing Complexity

Safety in Traffic || Managing Diversity

Co-operative Traffic Management || Designing for Reliability and Yield

Communication and Digital Lifestyle || Internet Multimedia Services || Semiconductor Process and Integration || Know-how on Advanced and Emerging Semiconductor Processes

In bold letters on white background are the topics which were open for proposals, while the ones that have not been selected are on grey background. In 2011, all the technology fields and 9 of the 16 application fields were called for (same as in 2010), which may raise the question of the full implementation of the SRA. However it has been decided that for the 2012 calls, all applications and technology fields will be included.

The situation on the 40 projects already selected over the first 4 years is illustrated by the following chart.

1.2.5. Governance - Major decisions taken by the Governing Board and other JU bodies

2011 was the first full year of implementation of the ENIAC JU under its own management and related bodies (Governing Board, Public Authorities Board, Executive Director and Industry and Research Committee).

In 2011, the European Court of Auditors gave a qualified opinion on the reliability of the JU annual accounts 2010 because the Budgetary Outturn Account and its reconciliation to the Economic Outturn Account, required by EC Accounting Rule 16 ‘Presentation of budget information in the annual accounts’, had not been included in the accounts. This issue was the consequence of a difference of opinion between the ENIAC JU and the Commission about the effective date of autonomy of the ENIAC JU. The European Court of Auditors set the date of autonomy at 26 July 2010. Furthermore, the European Court of Auditors raised a number of comments (e.g. on the internal control systems of the ENIAC JU) which the Governing Board will follow up with the Executive Director, as stated in the assessment accompanying the Annual Activity Report for 2011 of the Executive Director.

The running of the Governing Board (GB) and the Public Authority Board (PAB)was smooth in 2011. The Governing Board held 3 meetings in 2011, while the Public Authority Board met 5 times.

The main decisions taken by the Governing Board during the year were related to Annual Implementation Plan 2012 and Annual Budget Plan 2012. Besides, the ENIAC GB had 12 written procedures:

1. Adoption of the Multi-annual Staff Policy Plan (MSPP) for years 2012-2014

2. Approval of the preliminary draft Annual Budget Plan (ABP) 2012 including ENIAC-GB-109A-11

3. Draft Annual Implementation Plan (AIP) 2012

4. Adoption of the Annual Activity Report 2010 and its analysis and assessment

5. Amendment to the AIP 2011

6. Adoption of the 2010 Annual Accounts

7. Amendment to the AIP 2011, ABP 2011 and MSPP 2012-2014

8. Delegation of the Staff Regulation Implementing Rules to the Executive Director

9. Approval of the amended annual accounts

10. Amendment to the AIP 2011 and ABP 2011

11. Annual Audit Report

12. Adoption of the AIP 2012 and ABP 2012

Important decisions of the Public Authority Board included the launch of 2 calls, the work programme of 2012 and the launch of a call for Expression of Interests on pilot lines related to Key Enabling Technologies (KET). Nanoelectronics is one the 6 fields identified as KET by the report of the related High Level Group[3] for which the implementation of pilot lines is an essential means to support to innovation. Moreover the ENIAC PAB had 7 written procedures:

1. Adoption of the decision to launch the fourth Call for proposals

2. Amendment of the Annual Work Programme 2011

3. Adoption of the decision to launch the fifth Call for proposals

4. Mandate to the Executive Director to enter negotiations for Call 2011-1

5. Mandate to the Executive Director to enter negotiations for Call 2011-2

6. Adoption of the Annual Work Programme 2012

7. Projects Selection and Funding

1.2.6. Outcome of 1st interim evaluation

In accordance with Article 11.2 the Commission had to carry out an interim evaluation of the ARTEMIS and ENIAC JU with the assistance of independent experts by the end of 2010. A panel of 8 independent experts was invited by the Commission to simultaneously evaluate both ARTEMIS and ENIAC JUs as they were set up using an identical design. Please refer to ARTEMIS - section 4.2 to see the outcome of the first interim evaluation.

1.2.7. Main communication activities

The ENIAC JU executes a communication plan through a contract with AENEAS in the name of its stakeholders. The main actions reported by ENIAC for 2011 were:

Publication of the Annual Activity Report for 2010;

Issue of quarterly reports to the GB showing progress versus plan;

Organization of a National Funding Authorities day;

Face to face meetings with public authorities, notably with France, Germany, Netherlands, Romania, Spain, U.K., the Czech republic, Hungary, Poland, Ireland;

Co-organization with the other Joint Undertakings of the "Innovation in Action" event at the European Parliament;

4 press releases with satisfactory impact;

Co-organization of the European Nanoelectronic Forum

Introduction of the "ENIAC JU Innovation Award" to recognize the projects approaching completion or recently completed that produced the most impactful innovations;

Participation in several events in Germany, Austria, Italy, Romania, sponsored events in France and Germany; 

Presentation at several conferences including at the Seventh International Nanotechnology Conference on Communication and Cooperation (INC7) in Albany, New York, the opening address at ESSCIRC/ESSDERS conference (Helsinki), presentation at SEMATECH Forum (Dresden), EuroSimE conference in Linz, and at the Nanolectronics days in Rome and NanoVeneto in Mestre.

1.2.8. Success story

The project E3Car started in February 2008 with the aim to tackle the main challenges in the management of electrical vehicle power train as well as reducing the energy lost in the intermediate stages of the power chain. This project was given an innovation award in November 2011 for its major achievements in many developments on several key components, in particular: the improvement of the power conversion and distribution by 10% and the increase of the energy efficiency by 35% overall.

The project achieved 28 demonstrators and generated an architectural view of the electrical vehicle. The project dynamics generated 7 more collaborative projects on electric mobility mobilizing more than 100 partners with a total budget of €180 M, thereby ensuring the future of European capability to roll out full electrical vehicle technology.

1.3. Call implementation

The ENIAC JU supports R&D activities through open and competitive calls for proposals published on a yearly basis, to attract the best European research ideas and capacities in the field of nanoelectronics. The programme is open to organisations in the EU Member States and Associated Countries. Selected projects are co-financed by the ENIAC JU and the countries that have joined ENIAC. The ENIAC JU implements significant parts of the above referred Strategic Research Agenda.

Funding decisions under the ENIAC JU Annual Work Programme are made on the basis of proposals submitted upon a call. Proposals describe planned research activities and give information on the applicants and the costs. The ENIAC JU evaluates all eligible proposals, using independent experts in order to rank the proposals on the basis of pre-established evaluation criteria. 

Following the evaluation, the Public Authority Board of the ENIAC JU decides on the selection of proposals and the allocation of funding (ENIAC JU and national funding).

The ENIAC JU then negotiates with selected proposals taking into account the maximum public funding allocated and the recommendations for changes, if any. If negotiations are successfully concluded, grant agreements are signed with ENIAC JU. Participants from ENIAC member States also conclude national grant agreements with their own national funding authorities as they normally also receive a national financial contribution.

In 2011, the ENIAC JU implemented 2 calls for proposals. This significantly helped in closing the gap with the intended total spending of the ENIAC JU by the end of its lifetime. The first call was a 2 steps procedure, with a project outline submission phase. The second call was implemented as a single step one, due to limited available time. The evaluation procedures were both based on consensus panel meetings.

Each full project proposal (FPP) was initially evaluated by four individual external experts. For each FPP, a consensus meeting between these experts was subsequently organised and following all the consensus meetings, a panel meeting of external experts under the chairmanship of the ED was held. The panel thus produced the final evaluation result for each proposal after an in-depth discussion on the basis of the 4 individual reports from the experts.

The 5 evaluation criteria used were:

№ || Evaluation criterion || Score || Weight || Threshold

1. || Relevance and contributions to the objectives of the call || /10 ||  1 || 6

2. || R&D innovation and technical excellence || /10 ||  1 || 6

3. || S&T approach and work plan || /10 || 1 || 6

4. || Market innovation and market impact || /10 ||  2 || 6

5. || Quality of consortium and management || /10 ||  1 || -

|| Total || /60 || 30/60

Furthermore a call for Expression of Interest for pilot lines on nanoelectronics in the framework of KET's was conducted at the end of 2011. Since the outcome of the submission was planned for February 2012, the Commission shall present the outcome of this activity in its next year's report on the progress achieved by the ENIAC JU.

2. Annexes

2.1. Clean Sky JU

2.1.1. Annex 1: Description of the 'Integrated Technology Demonstrators' (ITD) activities

2.1.1.1. SFWA – Smart Fixed Wing Aircraft ITD

In 2011 SFWA focussed on achieving progress on key SFWA target technologies. All activities conducted were aligned along the eight "SFWA Aircraft Concepts":

1. High Speed Demonstrator Passive (HSDP)

2. Low Speed Demonstrator (LSD)

3. Short Range Aircraft Concept (SRA)

4. Low Sweep Bizjet Concept (LSBJ)

5. High Speed Demonstrator Active (HSDA)

6. Long Range Aircraft Concept (LRA)

7. High Sweep Bizjet Concept (HSBJ)

8. CROR Engine Demo FTB

The currently estimated consumption of resources (including large subcontracting invoices) has been in the order of 82%. (This figure could prove pessimistic and will be revised for the final Annual Activity Report.) There are mainly two main reasons, why the budget was not fully used by the members:

a) Detailed preparation work of laminar wing took longer than expected; this caused a delay of real starting of the manufacturing of parts, which usually is the most costly part. The shift is presently not yet affecting the overall schedule.

b) A large amount of subcontracting have not yet been considered in 2011 because of financial deadlines (within AB mainly). The invoices arrived too late; nevertheless the work was performed.

The majority of activities were dedicated to develop and design the final shape of the laminar "smart" wing aero-shape, to define the manufacturing criteria for surface quality with respect to roughness, waviness, steps and gaps and a large number of critical details. The related data has been transferred to the design of the smart wing flight tests articles for the Airbus A340-200 test bed. In alignment with the requirements and limitations to modify the datum test aircraft, all supplementary parts were predesigned and the "Preliminary Design Review" has been conclusively passed in all elements in April 2011. In the second half of 2011, the detailed design for many components like the principle laminar wing flight test articles, the "plastron", aerodynamic fairing, wing diffusion zone, and the wing tip device progressed mostly as planned, part of the design work could be completed. The principle design of the camera pod to be mounted on the aircraft fuselage is completed. A number of supplementary tests in wind tunnels to receive additional performance data were conducted. The preparation of the major ground test "feature" structural demonstrator was kicked off and is well in progress.

A second main field of activities regards the Counter-Rotating Open Rotor (CROR), for which important decisions, strengthening the target of the flight demonstration, were made with the SAGE ITD and the Executive Director: this refined strategy is summarized in the SAGE paragraph below.

In 2011, the activities regarded in particular the conduct of a comprehensive study of the potential benefits and issues related to integrating a CROR propulsion system into a future large short and medium transport aircraft covering a large variety of principle configurations.

Major progress has been made in the blade design with respect to the robustness against impacts of debris: principle concepts of shielding for critical parts of the structure and systems are being developed and will be tested in 2012. Tools to adequately calculate the complex flow pattern are being developed. A major set of scaled test engines and test rigs have been designed and prepared for testing to exploit the aerodynamic performance, handling quality and noise in major wind tunnel test campaigns which started in 2011, to be continued in 2012.

Design activities for a new low sweep and high sweep business-jet design progressed well, the principle design for an innovative engine noise shielding tail for a low sweep business jet is completed. Related wind tunnel tests are under preparation to be conducted in 2012. Planning is underway for a large scale innovative rear end structural demonstrator.

In the area of low speed wing technologies, the technology plans have been reviewed, which led to a refocusing on a smart flap ground demonstrator with current preference to be adapted to a full scale Dassault Falcon F7X. Active load control high lift technologies shall be further pursued in ground tests, a major test has been conducted in November 2011 in the DNW-NWB. Besides, the development of innovative loads control functions for future wings led to another new focus towards a potential "low speed vibration control" application, which is considered to be proposed for a further dedicated flight test.

The contribution of SFWA vehicle ITD to the Technology Evaluator, by delivering reference aircraft models and concept aircraft models incorporating the innovative technologies developed in CleanSky, for the TE first assessment, was another subject of activities.

74 Topics for publication in Call for proposal have been defined by SFWA through the first 10 dedicated CleanSky calls. At the end of 2011, almost 50 of them have operationally started or are about to be launched. Thus a lot of new partners joined SFWA-ITD, many of them becoming members of the SFWA consortium. A wide range of subjects was related to the manufacturing, treatment, and repair and testing of surfaces for laminar wing panels, the design and development of innovative sensors and actuators for control surfaces in laminar wings.

The 3 calls in 2011 also included major work packages to attribute to the design and build parts of the laminar wing flight test articles. Cross-cutting coordination has been established, in particular with the SAGE –ITD and to some extent, where appropriate, with the SGO-ITD and the Eco Design-ITD.

Major achievements of the year 2011:

- The completion of the aerodynamic definition of the laminar wing design. Several specific design items and technical details have been checked in order to ensure a flight worthy layout of the wing. Two structural laminar wing concepts have been frozen and passed the preliminary design review to be designed, and then manufactured to be tested on the Airbus A340-300 test aircraft.

- The Launch Gate design and manufacturing of the High Speed Demonstrator Passive flight test articles were conclusively passed in April 2011.

- Major structural parts of the laminar wing feature ground demonstrators entered the phase of detailed design, some already being in the phase of manufacturing.

- A flight test campaign with a number of surface coating samples that are candidates to be applied on "smart wings", was started with a CfP-partner.

- The feasibility phase for the CROR-engine integration and CROR demo-FTB including numerical simulation, and subscale ground testing, has progressed. The "pusher" configuration has been confirmed.

- Aircraft models for business-jets, small and medium range and long range transport aircraft have been prepared for the CleanSky Technology Evaluator to contribute to the first "CleanSky Technology Assessment". Parts of these were delivered at the end of 2011; aircraft models with fully implemented CROR engines and a laminar wing will follow in 2012.

- The second SFWA-ITD Annual Progress Review was performed, explaining the new approach by Technology Streams. The ITD has launched the actions deemed necessary to further improve the activities, following the Reviewers' recommendations.

- A detailed follow-on year 2012 work and budget plan, as well as a Consortium Plan 2012, has been issued.

As part of the CleanSky mid-year update it was decided to put a "SFWA corrective action package" in place in order to optimise the budget execution. As part of this package, additional activities to investigate structural solutions for a rear end fuselage explicitly tailored to carry CROR engines have been conducted in 2011.

2.1.1.2. Green Regional Aircraft ITD

The GRA work plan was executed at a level of 90%, according to the current estimate. It was focused on the following activities:

- Requirements for the definition of the generic future regional aircraft and for ground and flight Demonstration; structural definition of peculiar items of advanced aircraft configurations; test report for all developed technologies for multilayer materials has been completed.

- Analysis of methodologies for probabilistic structural real design: this is still on-going and will be completed in the first half of 2012; final evaluation of the analysis and tests results of developed nanomaterial. Selection of flat large panels with different technologies: first down selection test article design has been performed, manufacturing commenced.

Both conventional architectures and innovative concepts, as well as active flow control and low-noise passive solutions have been assessed on a multi-disciplinary basis.

- Further development and assessment of Load Control & Alleviation (LC&A) Technologies, considering both conventional and innovative wing control movables, to reduce induced drag, through optimal wing load distribution (LC function), and wing structural loads (wing bending and torsion movement) from gust and manoeuvre (LA function).

- First part of aerodynamic and aero-acoustic Wind-Tunnel Tests campaign on Wing / High-Lift Devices 2D models in INCAS subsonic facility. Such testing activity is aimed at validating high-lift performance and low-noise solutions of HLD for NLF wing (130 seat A/C) and Turbo-Prop (90 seat A/C) configurations.

- Manufacturing of full-size test articles of NLF wing flap morphing structures is in progress. Relevant mechanical tests are going to validate the two actuation concepts addressed, respectively Deeply Embedded Smart Actuators and Smart Actuated Compliant Mechanisms.

This activity is planned to be performed through a project under CfP to be launched in 2012.

- Aerodynamic Design of a Transonic Natural Laminar Flow Wing, sized to a Green Regional rear-mounted engine 130-seat Aircraft, relying on experience and achievements of a NLF wing concept addressed in the technologies maturation phase. Trade-off studies are on-going to optimise wing plan form (aspect ratio, sweep, ..) and wing profiles at specified design points (Mach, CL), looking for the best compromise between aerodynamic efficiency in cruise condition and low-speed performance, and to also account for impact on structural weight.

2.1.1.3. GRC – Green Rotorcraft

The overall effort spent compared to the budget forecast is worth 77%, and main results achieved in 2011 for the seven domains are detailed below, as well as the areas where the activity has been behind plan.

GRC work performed in 2011 has been focused on preparatory activities such as technology selection and evaluation, requirements definition, work environment preparation (e.g. simulation models and tools development) and selection of new partners, through calls for proposals, to perform specific research tasks.

In 2011, 3 calls for proposals were launched and 8 topics were successful. In the meantime, 15 projects were kicked off. By end 2011, 30 projects were running or under negotiation.

1. In GRC1 (Innovative rotor blade)

Activities are organised around 5 main technology streams: active twist blades, Model rotor optimisation, Active Gurney Flap (AGF) systems for rotor blades, full-scale passive blade activities and laminar flow aerofoils.

The development of the active twist concept from project FRIENDCOPTER continued with the characterisation, evaluation and production of the piezocomposite materials. A set of piezocomposite arrays designed for integration into a full scale rotor blade segment was produced. Model rotor work has been affected by transfer of effort to full-scale passive blade activities.

In the meantime, work on Active Gurney Flap (AGF) systems for rotor blades has progressed well. In parallel, the task related to the benefit assessment in forward flight conditions has been started with the selection of the partner responsible for designing and developing the rotor model scale. The development of the open loop control algorithm, to control the AGF system, was achieved. After analysis, it was decided not to proceed to testing laminar flow aerofoils, because of the small benefits expected in hover and forward flight conditions.

2. In GRC2 (Reduced drag of airframe and dynamic systems activities)

Main tasks focused on the optimisation of the rotor hub, the fuselage and the engine installation. The drag breakdown over the different parts of the helicopter (hub, fuselage) was characterised and provided the results necessary to identify main areas of improvements.

Various numerical analyses performed to optimise the hub cap of various classes of helicopters have been validated (or still in progress) by Wind tunnel tests activities to confirm the design. Devices such as a remotely controlled horizontal stabiliser for the helicopter common platform were designed, while manufacturing is in progress, and steady blowing, pulsed and synthetic jets on a helicopter blunt fuselage were further numerically investigated and tested in Wind tunnel. TRL3 gate was passed for the latter device. The optimisation loop implemented on the specific nacelle component of ERICA, inlet and exhaust optimisation was completed within the frame of the TILTop project.

3. In GRC3 (Integration of innovative electrical systems activities)

The reference helicopter description was finalised, including the potential use of technologies per helicopter type, required to perform the overall benefit assessment.

The preliminary architecture analysis was deferred due to the lack of models available for some equipment. In the meantime, the Electrical Generation System architecture was postponed pending upon the finalisation of the negotiation with the partner appointed to support this activity. Results should be available in 2012. This didn’t prevent the continuation of the design requirements and to start the developments of subsystems.

Requirements with SGO were clarified for the "28V brushless starter generator"; PDR was completed early 2012 and TRL3 gate passed for the Electromechanical Actuators; the Electrical Rotor Brake was kicked off early November; the EMA for landing gear started early November; the Management of the Thermal Energy Recovery began in July and the Thermal Energy Recovery from Engine Exhaust passed the PDR and TRL3 gate in November. Activities related to Power Supply for Piezo Actuators and Electric Tail Rotor progressed well according to the work plan.

4. In GRC4 (Installation of a Diesel engine on a light helicopter)

The "study of the future light helicopter generation powered with an advanced Diesel engine" started in November, with the University of Lublin. 1st results will be delivered in May 2012.

In parallel, another consortium was selected for the design and the development of the Diesel Power Pack to power an EC120 flight demonstrator. This activity started with delays as compared to the initial work plan due to the complexity of the project and some issues faced during the negotiation process with the partners. Available resources were not sufficient to catch up with the work plan and the PDR initially scheduled in September 2011 was postponed to February 2012.

5. In GRC5 (Environment-friendly flight paths activities)

Requirements of Simultaneous Non-Interfering Approach Operations have been released and works on procedures in the GARDEN project were performed to analyse how to implement SNI approach based on GNSS (PINs LPV) and their respective constraints. The characterisation of the pollutant emissions continued with the set-up of computational and measurement chains.

Activities were slowed down due to the delay in providing engine data to the selected partners. In the meantime, the measurement of different pollutant in flight on AW139 was postponed to 2012 due the unavailability of the test bed helicopter. The noise data acquired last year on EC155 were processed and results used to complete the noise models necessary to design and calibrate the optimised procedures (take-off, approach and landing). These results were uploaded in a behavioural model delivered to GRC7, to further improve the HELENA tool. 

In parallel, enabling technologies such as the acoustic radar were further developed. In total, the GRC5 progress has been significantly behind the agenda, and recovery actions are needed in 2012.

6. In GRC6 (Eco-Design Rotorcraft Demonstrators)

The activity was kicked off in 2011. The effort was focused on writing up the requirements for the 4 different demonstrators and in selecting the main partners contributing to the design and manufacturing of the "door & floor" demonstrator and the structural parts. Unfortunately, no partners could be found to study the dismantling and recycling of the "door & floor" demonstrator and structural parts. This delayed the activity for 6 months. The number of case studies in the design of the structural parts was not underestimated and materials needed to start the study phase were not available. This lead to an additional delay of 6 months.

7. In GRC7 (Technology Evaluator for Rotorcraft activities)

The initial target set up for 2011 was to deliver the 6 behavioural models, fully representative of the various type of helicopters. The effort needed happened to be bigger than expected. In agreement with the TE, the decision was made to stagger models delivery and to concentrate the effort in 2011 on one behavioural model: the Light Twin-engine model.

In addition, the coordination set up to get the right assessment of environmental benefits expected by the different technologies worked well. Finally this first model, encompassing the different technology characteristics was delivered during the last quarter of the year to the TE.

2.1.1.4.  SAGE – Sustainable and Green Engine ITD

The activities for the 5 demonstrators of SAGE were further developed, with resources consumption close to 100% according to the end-of-year estimate, after the mid-year budget adjustment at the level of the JU.

Open Rotor strategy

Two Projects in SAGE address the Open Rotor in parallel. Both have been included in the analysis and optimisation of the roadmap up to the flight demonstration, in coordination with SFWA. The SAGE 2 leader, Snecma (Safran Group), has confirmed its commitment to test a full CROR demonstrator on the ground in 2015. Safran has agreed to expand its commitment in the Clean Sky time frame to deliver an engine in 2016 for the flight demonstration in a "pusher" configuration, provided the funding necessary to support this additional activity is identified.

By executing this demonstration plan, Clean Sky will deliver a substantial and visible engine and aircraft test programme to address the ACARE CO2 emission targets, in conjunction with the related noise targets and extending the technical programme beyond the original plan.

In parallel, it has been agreed that more effort is necessary to better address the NOx emissions reduction and to strongly contribute to the ambitious ACARE targets in this area. A new engine-level demonstrator has been committed by Rolls-Royce: the "Lean Burn" demonstrator (a modified Trent 1000 engine) will be tested in 2015/2016 to achieve Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6. This will give birth to one more project: SAGE 6 (to be started not earlier than in 2012)[4].

In addition to both the Safran commitment regarding the CROR and the Rolls-Royce demonstrator on Lean burn technology, Rolls-Royce will continue the SAGE 1 Open Rotor programme over a slightly longer period of time. Strongly committed to the maturation of this promising concept through a full ground and flight demonstration, Rolls-Royce is now targeting 2017-2018, provided that suitable complementary funding source is available. Within the Clean Sky timescale (2016) and funding, Rolls-Royce / SAGE 1 will continue to mature the main enabling technologies and components, to prepare for full demonstration.

Having still two CROR designs running, with now slightly different timescales, will allow adherence to the risk mitigation policy which has been followed from the very beginning of Clean Sky, with a reduced total cost, the difference being allocated to the new NOx-focused "Lean Burn" demonstrator.

The technical activities are described more in detail below.

1. SAGE1 (Geared Counter Rotating Open Rotor 1)

The project has progressed on development of key technologies required for technology demonstration, such as CROR aero and noise methods and prediction tool sets. High Speed CROR "next generation blade" tests have been carried out under SAGE1 (Rig145), to establish a validated basis for later confirmation of technology feasibility, able to achieve defined CO2 and Noise reduction goals. Activities on design, development and manufacturing of complex lightweight rotating structures have been completed in 2011, mainly related to manufacturing processes. Enabling technology definition such as a new booster required for the demonstrator engine has further progressed.

In addition, work was performed in the fields of A/C safety and certification feasibility, aerodynamics, acoustics and physical design, to establish understanding of technology implications on potential future product design and feasibility. This work addressed selection of pusher vs. puller configuration, with a decision of a pusher in September 2011.

Co-operation with SFWA regarding the feasibility and integration of the demonstrator with a flying test bed has continued mainly inside the SFWA project. Besides, under SAGE1, the feasibility and first top level concept of new technology demonstrator engine control and its integration with an existing flight test aircraft has been evaluated.

In collaboration with Green Regional Aircraft (GRA) SAGE 1 has defined the Regional aircraft open rotor engine requirements.

The environmental targets have been revised and transmitted to TE. Concerning the "Lean Burn" project addressed above in the Strategy paragraph, some activity started in 2011 under SAGE 1, before being able to agree on the full scope and to implement the SAGE 6 project.

2. SAGE 2 (Geared Counter-Rotating Open Rotor 2)

After a comprehensive study of the merits of both geared and direct drive open rotor, SNECMA selected the geared configuration for the demonstration in Clean Sky and redefined accordingly the demonstration programme with a ground test planned for the second half of 2015. A chief engineer role was created and an integrated team including the SAGE2 partners is in charge of developing the technologies necessary for the geared open rotor first demonstration.

Key technologies for the geared open rotor are:

- High speed propeller blades

- Pitch Control Mechanism (PCM)

- Gear box (reliability, oil and cooling system (risk of coaking of oil after engine stop), carcass distortion)

- Contra-rotating propeller module technology for noise and safety

- Pylon technology such as blowing for noise efficiency

A Preliminary Concept Review (PCoR) took place in December 2011 to review all critical technologies and propose trade-offs:

- Whole Power Plant Design, with several possibilities to integrate the gas generator and the open rotor

- Propellers blades design and manufacture

- Pitch Change Mechanisms systems, supported by several projects from CfP

- Reduction Gear Box developed by AVIO and supported by a CfP project. Several interfaces discussed, some trade off still to be performed

- Nacelle proposed by Alenia-Aermacchi and Aircelle.

- Power Turbine configuration developed by AVIO and its integration in the demonstrator discussed with Snecma

- Rotating Frames developed by Volvo

- Rotating aero ducts with in particular the design of contra rotating joints. A CfP will support this study.

There is a strong involvement of all SAGE2 Affiliates and the new partners through the CfPs.

3. SAGE 3 (Large Turbofan engine)

Design of the annulus fillers for a composite fan system has progressed, based on the work started in 2010.

A Partner for the structural surface cooler and intake liner has been selected through the Call for Proposal and the designs and manufacturing plans progressed through 2011, this work including impact analysis to achieve an integrated design and material selection that was optimised in conjunction with the manufacturing system.

The technologies to be integrated into the engine demonstrator require a detailed analysis and modelling work to fully understand the potential impact of inserting these technologies into an architecture not originally designed for the new hardware. This work has been conducted during 2011.

In parallel with progressing with the development of specific design and manufacturing technologies, the SAGE3 project has always been discussed together with the demonstrator vehicle, test programme and facilities. Reviews for first build of the engine demonstrator were conducted and preliminary design reviews have been hold for technologies, including the low pressure turbine, to be demonstrated on later builds.

Rig testing of the intercase features has started.

4. SAGE 4 (Geared Turbofan engine)

On full Geared Turbofan demonstrator level, the initial concept design was further detailed and planned on a level 1 & 2 during the concept definition phase. The General Arrangement of the Geared Fan Demonstrator and the preliminary Design specification were drafted.

This work was accompanied on a module level for the High Pressure Compressor, the High Speed LPT, the Fan Drive Gear System and the Turbine Exhaust Case. Further detail design for other engine modules was also executed.

Technology content was verified and integration studies were performed. A significant effort has been made to advance material and weight saving technology to a ready-to-test status in terms of blade design and stability of the forging and manufacturing process. Additionally, further effort has been made on the advanced casing design, featuring a new fixture design between the vane clusters and the casing shell, an optional material change and an altered cooling air system. A preliminary instrumentation plan for validation is available. Test stand preparation and adaptation work as part of WP 4.3 ensured to support demonstrator testing later in the program. Additionally, an associated risk assessment was conducted for the SAGE4 demonstrator engine. All these aspects were considered to be in line with the requirements of the demonstrator program and passed the preliminary design review on May 2011.

Afterwards, the concept optimization phase was initiated. During this phase, integration studies have been further detailed, at the same time as advanced instrumentation plans were been drafted.

Due to the accelerated market introduction of future GTF engine applications, the work progress during the Concept Optimization Phase for the SAGE4 demonstrator in 2011 was slower than expected. A SAGE4 program update was necessary, to postpone the Critical Design Review which is now scheduled for May 2012 and start of the demo testing is now scheduled for October 2014.

Negotiations of the Topics published in 2010 via Calls for Proposals were continued. Four topics contracted with a total value of €2.8 M initiated their work during 2011 to support SAGE4 activities. During 2011, additional Topics with a total value of €6.2 M (including two topics from Volvo Aero) were published and partners were successful selected. Negotiations were initiated and some of these Partners already started working on these projects by the end of 2011.

The project leader has compiled and delivered to GRA a preliminary engine functional model of SAGE4 GTF propulsion system for GRA-130PAX regional application in order to support the 2011 TE assessment.

5. SAGE 5 (advanced turboshaft configuration)

The project leader conducted in June 2011 the Critical Design Review covering Core Study and the Whole engine study. It marked the end of the detailed design phase, and evidenced that the project is well on schedule.

All parts manufacturing have started and all the suppliers have been chosen for the demonstrator engine. Partial rig manufacturing has been completed for combustion chamber, compressor and LP turbine components.

Compressor and combustion chamber partial rig test has started late December and will continue in 2012. The various projects launched through the Call for Proposals are delivering promising results to be incorporated onto the demonstrator; where applicable the activities are redefined according to the actual availability and capabilities of the selected partners.

2.1.1.5. SGO - Systems for Green Operations

The SGO estimated consumption of resources in 2011 is 80%, i.e. a delay (and expected carry-over) of two months with respect to the 2011 schedule. Good progress has been made in 2011 in maturing the many technologies developed in SGO, both in the Management of Aircraft Energy (MAE) domain, and in the Management of Trajectory and Mission (MTM) domain. Most of the technologies and functions have now passed TRL3 at least. Nevertheless, due to individual difficulties in each technology stream, all initial expectations on milestones and deliverables were not fully realised. This is partly due to global issues (Ice Wind Tunnel testing facilities, partial withdrawal of some beneficiaries, updated high-level planning …) and partly to specific situations (R&T resources, availability of experts, etc.).

- In 2011, WP1 ("aircraft solutions") monitored the development and updated the architecture assessment thanks to the refined knowledge of the technologies developed in WP2 ("management of aircraft energy") and WP3 ("management of trajectory and mission"). A report on electrical and thermal architectures of the SGO large aircraft has been issued. The final technical priorities for MAE systems of regional aircraft have been defined. In WP2, work on technologies for energy management moved towards delivery of first components for demonstration. Throughout 2011, some equipment and systems specified during 2009 and 2010 went through in-house testing in order to ensure that they are ready for large-scale demonstrator testing in next years. The progress of these technologies is tracked by the TRL process installed in SGO.

- For electrical and thermal systems, large-scale demonstrations are planned to be assembled during 2012 and 2013, and WP2 has started to develop much of the equipment for these platforms. The preparation of the Wing Ice Protection Systems (WIPS) technology demonstrators have begun and after the selection of the Ice Wind tunnel test facility the test campaign has been scheduled for the 3rd quarter of 2012. Modified starter generator hardware has been delivered to the electrical test rig PROVEN to support WP4 demonstration campaign and architecture studies. The work on electrical ECS is heading towards TRL4 support by performance tests in altitude chamber which has been started mid-2011. In 2011 the work on electrical engine nacelle system was driven by preparation of the nacelle anti-ice and actuation technologies and adaptation of the COPPER Bird test. First test of nacelle actuation has been carried out end of 2011.

Parallel to the construction of equipment, the simulation use cases, which began to be examined in 2010, went through a refinement process, particularly in order to improve the fidelity and accuracy of the models being used. In 2011 good progress has been made on implementation of the use-cases as well as on development of the common interface library and common modelling standards.

A first assessment of ‘The Electrical SGO Large Aircraft’ was performed: compared to previous projects e.g. MOET, the overall system weights have been significantly reduced but the block fuel assessed on aircraft level remains almost neutral resulting in unchanged CO2 emissions. Several improvements on system level and integration have been recommended and will be studied in detail with the partners in the following months. Of course, this does not affect other significant environmental benefits of such electrical systems, in particular w.r.t. the chemical pollutants.

In 2011, activities concerning the Management of the Trajectory and Mission (MTM) resulted in a number of TRL3 gates passed, including the cruise Flight Management function (Multi Step in Cruise), Time and Energy Managed Operations (TEMO) for guidance in continuous descent phase, Advanced Weather Radar algorithms, On-board optimisation of trajectory and Smart Operation on Ground system (electrical motor integrated in the main landing gear). Partial mock-ups of these technologies and functions have been tested in order to support the feasibility and performance assessments at TRL3, and refine specifications for the development of demonstrators starting in 2012.

Significant progress has also been made in the specification and implementation of the FMS function Adaptive Increased Glide Slope covering the final approach phase. Pilot-in-the loop tests are planned for first quarter 2012, supporting a TRL3 by mid-2012.

A COTS product has been selected for integration of the Water Vapour sensor and Atmospheric Data Transmission system, with the target of flight-testing the concept in 2013. Nevertheless, difficulties in validating the business application led to a delay on the TRL3, now foreseen during first quarter 2012, with a risk to stop the development at this stage.

- Enhanced environmental models developed in WP3.1 have supported these milestones. An advanced version of the theoretical optimisation framework (GATAC) has been delivered, allowing for complete 2D optimisation of missions on selected test cases. This also allowed to refine the specification for future versions to be developed in 2012, 2013.

With regards to the link between Clean Sky and SESAR, progress has been made in the coordination between both programs. With results from the various TRL3 gates, MTM is now ready to present the various concepts in order to check with SESAR JU their compatibility with future ATM rules and to receive updates from SESAR to be taken into account at higher TRL. Specific coordination meeting are planned early 2012.

- WP4 (Large scale demonstrations) started preparing the demonstration means (ground physical or virtual test rigs, flight test aircraft). The demonstration strategic plan was issued in 2011.

Some tests have been conducted on the electrical test rig to contribute to architecture studies and refinement of electrical components specification.

The thermal test rig was prepared for further integration in 2012-2013. The demonstration campaigns related to icing wind tunnel testing of electrical wing ice protection systems for large aircraft – has been fully prepared. The selection of the supplier is completed and the slot themselves secured for 2012.

WP4 has continued the integration of mock-ups of green functions on large scale flight simulator for the evaluation of green functions in an operational environment all along the mission profile to consolidate the benefits from an environmental perspective.

The definition of the flight test plans, installation and instrumentation was continued on the targeted flight tests aircraft.

- WP5 (aircraft-level assessment) was kicked off in November 2011, preparing for the industrial exploitation of the more mature solutions, especially the ones concerning the Management of Aircraft Energy.

2.1.1.6. ED – EcoDesign

The Eco-Design ITD used 94% of the resources planned for 2011, according to the end-of-year estimate.  It is organised in the two major areas:

- EDA (Eco-Design for Airframe) and

- EDS [Eco-Design for Systems (small aircraft)].

The Airframe Application of the Eco-Design ITD is meant to tackle the environmental issues by focusing on the following challenges:

- To identify and maturate environmentally sound ("green") materials and processes for /c production;

- To identify and maturate environmentally sound ("green") materials and processes for a/c maintenance and use processes;

- To improve the field of end-of-life a/c operations after several decades of operation, this includes reuse, recyclability and disposal ("elimination") issues;

- To provide means for an eco-design process on order to minimize the overall environmental impact of a/c production, use/maintenance, and disposal.

These areas are considered for significant parts of the aircraft: structure, cabin covering and furniture, vehicle systems components / equipment, engine components, electronics.

In 2011 work in the frame of the Eco-Design ITD – Airframe Application continued mainly in the following Work Packages:

- WP A.2 : Technology Development,

- WP A.3 : Application Studies.

In WP A.2, the work was focused on the most innovative technologies selected through the trade-off process performed during the second half of 2010. Ground Demonstrators to be manufactured, dismantled and recycled in WP A.6 were discussed in the frame of WP A.2.

In WP A.3, the work continued on the field on Life Cycle Analysis or LCA. A first version of the LCA data base – based on current processes - has been made available at T0+36 months i.e. in September 2011.

Among the most significant objectives of 2011, results from the partners' activities launched in 2010, on the analysis of existing LCA tools and associated databases, and standards like European Platform on Life Cycle Assessment (EPLCD) and the European Reference Life Cycle Data System (ELCD), have been reviewed, as long as further progress about usability of LCA tools in consideration of special requirements in aircraft industry.

In addition, activities on "Societal needs" have been completed, which results also in the closure of the overall WP A.1. With respect to exchange of data between EDA and TE, documents related to harmonized milestone planning between EDA and TE, and to the description of the scale-up methodology for LCA results from parts to entire a/c have been produced.

In 2011 in the frame of the Eco-Design ITD – Systems, work continued on the feasibility of an all-electrical aircraft, through the study of innovative energy management architectures, requiring joining effort to provide appropriate requirements to Systems ITD. The general objective of this part of the Eco-Design ITD is to make a significant step towards the concept of the all-electric vehicle systems aircraft, by removing of hydraulic fluid (with significant benefits in terms of aircraft maintenance and disposal environmental impact); by on-board power by wire. The use of electricity as only media offers a lot of possibility in terms of energy management (e.g.: Intelligent load shedding, power regeneration on actuators, sharing of Electrical Control Unit over actuators). For the purpose of the all-electric small a/c objective, the existing work packages are completed with activities hosted by the GRA, GRC and SGO ITDs.

The most significant milestones reached in 2011 were:

- The final definition of the Generic Architecture, which will serve as the basis for the tests to be conducted on the Electrical Test Bench;

- The completion of the definition of the subsystems requirements and the development follow-up, for the Generic Architecture and for the Business Jet architectures;

- The completion of the definition of the Electrical Bench and Thermal Bench;

- The first phases of test bench manufacturing;

- The completion of the definition of the electrical tests to be conducted on the Electrical Bench;

- The delivery of the process to use the selected generic simulation tools: Energy Management Model (EMM), Electrical Network Analysis Model (ENAM), Thermal Model (TM), Ecolonomic Model (EM) and the associated process to use them and interconnect them;

- The approval of the Electrical Test Bench Preliminary Design Review, conducted at the end of 2011, with participation of all involved actors.

2.1.1.7. 3.7 TE – Technology Evaluator

All TE Work Packages had activities and deliverables (or outputs) in 2011:

- WP0: TE Management and Coordination

- WP1: TE Requirements and Architecture

- WP2: Models Development and Validation

- WP3: Simulation Framework Development + IVV

- WP4: Assessment of impacts and Trade-off studies

1. WP1: TE Requirements and Architecture

In WP1, during 2011 the detailed definition of generic as well as ‘real world’ aircraft (fixed wing and rotary wing) missions were updated and finalised for the TE’s 1st Assessment due by the end of 2011. The metrics for this Assessment were also refined, as well as the requirements for the ‘Airport’ and Air Transport System (ATS) evaluations. (Note that the ‘Airport’ level was previously referred to as ‘Operational’ level but this was changed during the refining of nomenclature as recommended by the External Evaluators during the TE 2010 Annual Review in March 2011.)

2. WP2: Models Development and Validation

In WP2 major obstacles needed to be overcome in the preparation and delivery of aircraft (conceptual) models by the vehicle ITDs (namely GRA, GRC and SFWA). Several Milestones as defined by the TE AIP 2011 for the delivery of the aircraft models to the TE were missed, with delays varying from 2 to 7 months. As a consequence, the scope of this 1st Assessment was reduced significantly in September. Moreover, it was necessary to delay the delivery of the 1st Assessment Report to the JU until February 2012.

These scope changes for 2011 included:

- Exclusion of the SFWA LR (Long Range) aircraft.

- Limiting the SFWA SMR (Short and Medium Range) /CROR evaluation to some standard missions and assessing fuel burn / CO2 only.

- Reverting to a simplified modelling for the noise assessment of SFWA concept and reference aircraft, deviating from the model specifications set (4D Trajectories).

- Limiting the evaluation of rotorcraft to one conceptual vehicle (TEL, Twin Engine Light).

- Limiting the number of airports used for the Airport Evaluation for fixed wing aircraft to 2.

- But conversely, adding up a first evaluation of the GTF-powered GRA130 for Fuel Burn / CO2 It must be noted that in WP2 the TE consortium operates as a de-facto supply chain manager: all the major component conceptual models are delivered by the ‘aircraft ITDs’. In this respect, this first assessment of 2011 must also be considered as a learning phase – while its results will still be of utmost interest as such. Taking the lessons learnt into 2012, the interfaces with SFWA, GRA and GRC have accordingly been scrutinised and control documents defining the delivery of models (specification, content and timing) created. A tighter control cycle has been put in place to monitor the progress (including inputs from other ITDs). Performance is expected to improve dramatically in 2012.

3. WP3: Simulation Framework Development + IVV

In WP3, the Update of TE database structure definition and the description of the data transfer between TE platforms within the overall TE-IS were completed. It was agreed to postpone the integration, verification and validation of the simulation platforms (and the TE IS) to 2012 as too many aircraft conceptual models were undelivered, incomplete or delivered in preliminary (‘de-scoped’) form.

4. WP4: Assessment of impacts and Trade-off studies

WP4, or ‘Assessment of Impacts and Trade-Off Studies’, contains the key output from the TE to the JU: the 1st Assessment. Leading up to the actual Assessment, other key activities and deliverables included:

- Detailed specification report of the mission-level assessment (‘use cases’)

- Detailed specification report of the airport level assessment (‘use cases’)

- Detailed specification report of the ATS level assessment (‘use cases’)

- Detailed specification of the life-cycle analysis (‘use cases’) and a demonstration of the calculation using reference aircraft.

Overall, the execution of the 2011 plan has been a significant challenge for the TE. It must be noted that the late supply of crucial inputs was the overriding factor in the delivery performance. The supply chain issues originated in the SFWA, GRC and GRA ITDs (in this order in terms of contributing delays); noting that these ITDs also had interface challenges with ‘transverse’ ITDs, notably SAGE.

Despite the difficulties encountered in these first loops, the TE, with the support from the JU, managed to put in place reinforced planning and control mechanisms for 2012. The first assessment, whatever its limitations, plays also a role of “demonstrator” of the full process: this demonstration is encouraging. The quality and timeliness of deliveries should improve significantly in 2012. This will still be closely monitored by the JU, as a top-ranking priority.

It is divided into five main sections, one per Joint Undertaking. Each section contains the following three sub-sections providing information on the JTI JUs' activities in 2011 in a structured and uniform way: 1) About the JTI JU, 2) Main activities in 2011, and 3) Call implementation.

The description of the progress of each Joint Undertaking throughout the year starts with a short introduction of the JTI JU, outlining its legal basis, main objectives, research priorities, funding and governing structure. The second sub-section highlights the key achievements of the entity in 2011, both from operational and administrative perspective. The submission and evaluation process of the individual JTI JUs calls is also explained.

The last sub-section is dedicated to the calls for proposals launched by the Joint Undertakings in 2011. In case the entity has launched multiple calls during the year, each call is described with a brief summary listing the call topics, eligible beneficiaries, timeline and indicative budget, followed by detailed statistics on the submitted proposals by types of participants and by country. A special attention is given to the number of SMEs, whose participation in the call is presented separately.

Detailed statistics on the selected proposals by types of participants and by country are provided, which can serve for a comparative analysis of the participants at the different steps of the call. Each sub-section ends with a table giving information on the grant agreements signed in the respective call.

1.           Progress achieved by the Clean Sky JU

1.1.        Introduction to the Clean Sky JU

The Clean Sky Joint Undertaking (hereinafter referred to as "CS JU") has been established by Council Regulation (EC) 71/2008 of 20 December 2007 as a public-private partnership between the aeronautic industry, represented by the leaders of the Integrated Technology Demonstrators (ITDs)[1], their associates, and the European Union, represented by the European Commission.

The ITD leaders are twelve industrial organisations that jointly committed to perform, complete and exploit the Clean Sky programme[2]. Each leads or co-leads a specific Integrated Technology Demonstrator. The associate members are seventy-four private or public organisations representing industry, academia, SMEs and research centres, selected through a transparent and fair process as permanent members of the Clean Sky JU. They committed to perform and complete certain essential work packages in one or more ITDs for the duration of Clean Sky.

The CS JU has been set up for a period up to 31 December 2017 with the main objective to develop environmental technologies impacting all flying segments of commercial aviation in order to contribute to the ACARE targets[3] for reduction of emissions and noise in air transport in Europe[4], thus contributing to improving the air transport system worldwide.

The objective of the Clean Sky JU is achieved through coordination of research activities that pool resources from the public and private sectors, and that are carried out by the main aeronautical stakeholders (ITD leaders and associates) directly and by partners selected through open and competitive calls for proposals.

The CS JU is built upon six different technical areas called Integrated Technology Demonstrators (ITD), which develop innovative technologies covering all segments of commercial aviation. Each ITD is led by two founding members and operates through a matrix structure. The ITDs are listed below:

(1) Smart Fixed Wing Aircraft (SFWA) led by Airbus and SAAB – focused on active wing technologies that sense the airflow and adapt their shape as required, as well as on new aircraft configurations to optimally incorporate these novel wing concepts;

(2) Green Regional Aircraft (GRA) led by Alenia Aeronautica and EADS-CASA – dealing with low-weight configurations and technologies using smart structures, low-noise configurations;

(3) Green Rotorcraft (GRC) led by Agusta-Westland and Eurocopter – focused on innovative rotor blades and engine installation for noise reduction, lower airframe drag, diesel engine and electrical systems for fuel consumption reduction and environment-friendly flight paths;

(4) Sustainable and Green Engines (SAGE) led by Rolls-Royce and Safran – integrating technologies for low noise and lightweight low pressure systems, high efficiency, low nitrous oxides and low weight core;

(5) Systems for Green Operations (SGO) led by Thales Avionics and Liebherr Aerospace – coping with all-electric aircraft equipment and systems architectures, thermal management, capabilities for green trajectories and improved ground operations;

(6) Eco-Design (ED) led by Dassault Aviation and Fraunhofer Gesellschaft – addressing the full lifecycle of materials and components, focusing on issues such as optimal use of raw materials, decreasing the use of non-renewable materials, natural resources, energy, emission of noxious effluents and recycling.

Multiple links for coherence and data exchange is ensured between the different ITDs.

Complementing these six ITDs, the Technology Evaluator (TE) is a dedicated evaluation platform cross-positioned within the CS project structure. The TE is co-led by DLR and Thales and includes major European aeronautical research organisations as members. Its objective is to assess the environmental impact of the technologies developed by the ITDs and to assess the result of the overall Clean Sky's project output.

1.1.1.     Budget

The total budget of the CS JU is equally divided between the EU and its private members and is set to a maximum of € 1.6 billion. The EU contribution is maximum € 800 million, paid from the budget appropriation allocated to the theme "Transport" of the Specific Programme "Cooperation" under the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) of the European Union (2007-2013)[5], while the industry should commit the resources at least equal to the EU contribution.

1.1.2.     Governing structure

The CS JU governance is composed of three bodies: the Governing Board, the Executive Director and the ITD Steering Committees. It is also supported by three advisory groups: the Scientific and Technological Advisory Board (STAB), the National States Representatives Group (NSRG) and the General Forum.

1.1.3.     Organisation of the team in Clean Sky JU.

The composition of the CS JU executive team developed significantly in 2011, with the recruitment of additional staff for the team. On 31 December 2011 18 TA posts and 5 CA posts were actually filled. Moreover, the Clean Sky JU registered an increase of workload, during the second half of 2011, which could not be covered by the current team. It was then necessary to hire 3 interim staff for the second half of 2011.

1.2.        Outline of the main activities and achievements in 2011

2011 was the second full year of independent functioning of the Clean Sky Joint Undertaking. The CS JU achieved progress in both increasing its operational capacity and in running the Clean Sky operations.

1.2.1.     Key milestones

- Publication and evaluation of the 3 CS JU's calls for proposals in 2011 as planned, plus the evaluation of the last call of 2010;

- Amendment to the model Grant Agreement for Partners (GAP) and the model Grant Agreement for Members (GAM);

- Internal processes monitoring;

- Involvement of the Scientific and Technological Advisory Board in the Clean Sky's activities;

- Implementation of Internal Audit Plan and Ex-Post Audit Strategy;

- Implementation of the Communication and Dissemination Strategy.

Besides, 3 additional staff members were recruited, growing to 23 by the end of the year. The first internal audit started in November 2010, was completed in 2011. Further implementation and updates of the CS JU main documents took place: Quality Manual, Manual of Financial Procedures, and Management Manual. The Development Plan was elaborated in several versions, up to the adoption by the Governing Board in 2011.  The CS JU moved successfully to the White Atrium building in Brussels in January 2011.

Clean Sky maintained close links with the SESAR Joint Undertaking, which investigates air traffic management technologies in line with the Single European Sky initiative, with dedicated meetings at different levels (ITD, TE and JU).

1.2.2.     Progress in the implementation of the Strategic Research Agenda

2011 provided an actual positive contribution by Clean Sky activities to the implementation of the SRA.

The targets set at the beginning of the Clean Sky programme were the subject of a re-assessment of validity and consistency with respect to evolution of the outside scenario and the actual progress of the activities related to the technology maturation and implementation in the planned demonstrators.

The original content of Clean Sky as defined in the proposal was compliant with the requirements of the SRA with respect to the Greening of Air Transport, identifying the technical domains where new technologies are worth exploring and developing to the level of maturity needed for innovating future aircraft.

A re-assessment of actual progress and validity of assumptions was performed, resulting in an updated work plan (Development Plan) and updated forecast of achievable environmental benefits at the end of the programme. To this scope the role of Technology Evaluator and the dialogue with all ITDs (especially the "vehicle" one, with their Conceptual aircraft definition) was essential, as provided by the First Internal Assessment performed and recently completed [6].

1.2.3.     Major changes occurred in the programme

One of the most significant events that occurred in 2011 concerned a change in scope of the first engine demonstrator related to the Open Rotor configuration. At the beginning of the programme, both Direct Drive solution and Geared Drive were considered by the two major engine stakeholders (namely Safran and Rolls Royce respectively). However, following a thorough assessment of the benefits and problems, Safran decided to move to a Geared Drive solution. Therefore both demonstrators (SAGE 1 and SAGE 2) are based on this concept, although with different substantial technical solutions inside. The programme has been revised and adapted to this change accordingly, including the impact on the planned flight activity which is part of SFWA ITD.

1.2.4.     Technology Evaluator

The TE has been created in 2008 with the objective to assess the environmental impacts and benefits of the overall Clean Sky's project output. The general TE requirements were defined in 2009. In 2011, they were further reviewed and detailed, paying particular attention to the first assessment cycle and to the needs of the trade-off studies[7]. This has been expected to help the design and development of the TE system for the first mid-term assessment planned for the end of 2011. Each year until the final assessment in 2015, more accurate assessments are planned to be performed with the updated sets of models resulting from the ITDs' progress.

1.2.5.     Governance - Major decisions taken by the Governing Board and other JU bodies

1.2.5.1.  Governing Board

The CS JU Governing Board (GB) held four meetings in 2011 (31 March, 14 June, 6 October and 14 December). The following 7 written procedures were implemented:

- Approval of the 2011 provisional accounts and the approval of carry-over of unused commitment and payment appropriations from 2010 to 2011 (14 February 2011)

- Adoption of the results of Call 5 and Call 6 (11 March 2011)

- Adoption of the results of Clean Sky JU Call 7 (14 April 2011)

- Adoption of Clean Sky JU Development Plan (15 April 2011)

- Adoption of the Procedure 1.7.2.1 on the Validation of the In-kind contribution of Members of the Clean Sky JU (2 May 2011)

- Written procedure on the validation of the in-kind contribution provided by non-EC members to the CSJU through the execution of the Grant Agreements 2008, 2009 and 2010 (13 May 2011)

- Adoption of the Budget 2011 amendment n° 1 (19 October 2011)

The Governing Board has adopted during 2011 the following key documents[8]:

- 31 March 2011: Modifications to the models Annex II to the GAMs and GAPs, Rules for participation in calls, Amendments to the Rules of Procedure of the GB,IAS Charter

- 14 June 2011: Final Accounts for 2010, Charter of the Internal Audit Officer, Assessment of the Annual Activity Report 2010

- 6 October 2011: Strategic Audit Plan 2011 – 2013, HR Strategy Paper 2012 -2014, Modification of the Rules of Procedure of the GB, Delegation Decision to the Executive Director

- 14 December 2011: Election of the Chairman (Mr Charles Champion) and Vice Chairman (Ms Catalin Nae) for 2012, Annual Implementation Plan 2012, Annual Budget Plan 2012, Establishment Plan 2012, Modification to Rules of Procedure of the GB, IAS Strategic Audit Plan 2012 -2014, Amendment to Budget 2011 (titles 1 and 2), Communication Strategy and Plan 2012, General Forum recommendations

It can be noted that most of the decisions have been adopted unanimously or very close to unanimity, showing a smooth and efficient decision-making process. Each Governing Board is prepared by a "Sherpa Group" meeting, chaired by the JU, taking place at least 4 weeks in advance to the scheduled GB date.

1.2.5.2.  National State Representative Group

The National States Representative Group (NSRG) is an advisory body to the Clean Sky Joint Undertaking.

Article 10 of the Council regulations setting up the Clean Sky Joint Undertaking outlines that it will review information and provide opinion on programme progress in the Clean Sky JU, compliance and the meeting of targets, updating of strategic orientation or links to Framework Programme Collaborative Research. It shall also provide input to Joint Undertaking on the interface with relevant national research programmes and identification of potential areas of cooperation, as well as specific measures taken at national level with regard to dissemination events, dedicated technical workshops and communication activities.

It consists of one representative of each EU Member State and of each other country associated with the Framework Programme. It is chaired by one of these representatives. To ensure that the activities are integrated, the Clean Sky Executive Director and the Chair of the Governing Board or his representative attend the NSRG meetings and the Chair of the NSRG attends as an observer at the Clean Sky Governing Board.

The NSRG held four meetings in 2011 (8 March, 16 May, 22 September, 22 November).

At the meeting, the Clean Sky JU presented to NSRG all progress with respect to the overall objectives, in particular with the work done on the Development Plan, the 2012 AIP, Communications Plan, Risk Management assessment, increased activities of the STAB members, formal development of the interfaces between the ITDs and the TE, etc..

Involvement in the Communication aspects was also part of the 2011 NSRG scope, like the web site, Skyline, E News and the Clean Sky at a Glance Brochure. NSRG Members also supported Clean Sky activities in general, including the events with the European Parliament, Aerodays and the Paris AirShow. The NSRG has received and discussed the reports from the independent observers of the Calls evaluations. NSRG recognised the achievement in SME involvement, as exemplified by the recognition of the 400th participant in Paris. During 2011, the NSRG carried out a review of its own operations and worked out a way to improve their contribution to the Clean Sky success; these actions will be implemented in 2012.

1.2.5.3.  Scientific and Technology Advisory Board

The Scientific and Technological Advisory Board (STAB), set up in June 2010 as an advisory body to the CS JU, is now composed of 10 high-level scientists and engineers, all independent from Clean Sky stakeholders. Its purpose is to focus on the scientific and technical analysis of Clean Sky from different perspectives: i) environmental impact; ii) technology and scientific forecast; iii) societal aspects and  iv) economics.

Chaired by David Ewins, Professor at the Bristol University and the Imperial College, it met four times in 2011 (10 February, 6 May, 9 September, 25 November), plus several dedicated meetings of the sub-groups created to work on specific areas, namely:

- WG1 dealing with TRL[9]and technology maturity assessment

- WG2 dealing with environmental targets and link with demonstrators

- WG3 working on socio-economic implications

Both working groups WG1 and WG2 produced documents and recommendations that were circulated internally in the JU to the Project Officers and to the ITDs; whereas WG3 will be launched and implemented in 2012.

The STAB provided recommendations on the Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) management, and the environmental forecast criteria definition. Two STAB members, in average, participated in each ITD annual review, according to their expertise area. They will keep the same focus for the following years. The STAB was also requested to check the quality of technical deliverables, by sampling; this action is in progress and will be continued in 2012.

1.2.5.4.  JU General Forum

On 27 September 2011, the CS JU's stakeholders gathered for the second General Forum. It provided information to the participants in the initiative about its activities and the progress of the Clean Sky JU. This event gathered more than 100 participants.

The Forum also put forward recommendations to the JU on managerial and operational items. Four separate working groups were launched, concerning:

- Experience of partners related to their role in the ITD work programs;

- Cross-ITDs relationship: from members' feed back towards a better efficiency;

- Role and involvement of SMEs (including Members within clusters);

- Role and involvement of Universities and research centres.

1.2.6.     Outcome of 1st interim evaluation

Two Interim Assessments of the Clean Sky JU are planned in the Council Regulation, the first one in 2010, the second in 2013.

This first assessment was performed in due time (4th Quarter 2010), by a Panel of six members designated by the European Commission. The report was delivered to the European Commission and the JU in January 2011. From this date, the Joint Undertaking has been implementing the actions related to the Review’s recommendations. The report, with the European Commission’s comments, was published in September 2011[10].

The Panel finds the concept of the CSJU appropriate for its objectives and recognises a number of achievements:

- Setting up the CSJU as an entirely new Public Private Partnership (PPP) organisation has been a significant success on its own.

- The initial ‘top-down’ work plan has been complemented by a detailed ‘bottom-up’ work plan. The corresponding schedule foresees achieving key demonstrator targets within the Clean Sky time frame. Furthermore, the CS timing for demonstrators seems well-synchronized with industrial deployment strategies.

- The CSJU has been highly successful in attracting a high level and wide participation from all EU key industries and a large number of SMEs. CS has led to new collaborations and the participation of new organisations is thus enhancing European integration.

- The coordination with EC Framework Programme and the SESAR Joint Undertaking appears to be organised in an effective manner.

- However, significant delays as compared to the initial plans have been accumulated because of difficulties in establishing the CSJU internal procedures and regulations as well as building up the teams. In particular, the definition and implementation of processes setting up and running a PPP under the rules of a Community Body was highly challenging.

Further delays of technical nature have been identified by the ‘bottom-up’ work plan in June 2010; for some demonstrators those delays are in excess of 2 years. The Panel notes that the slow start of the CSJU can to a great extent be imputed to the lack of preparedness, both administrative and technical, when starting the Joint Undertaking.

According to the panel, the most important recommendations are the following:

1. Top priority and prime objective of CS is to achieve demonstrator targets within the CS time frame. The Panel recommends streamlining programme activities giving an overriding priority to advanced technology demonstration. This implies diverting some resources from fundamental technology development to advanced technology demonstration.

2. Means to actively recover delays and mitigate future delays should be implemented within and across the six main activities of the programme.

3. Some areas of CS are addressing operations, which are highly affected by particular interests of stakeholder groups. An early and close interaction with airlines, air navigation service providers, airports, etc. is recommended to ensure successful deployment.

4. The envisaged developments involve safety-critical systems and operations. Consequently, certification issues need to be considered at early design and development stages already.

5. In order to facilitate the CSJU management process, the Panel recommends the Governing Board to focus on strategic decisions and to increase the level of delegation of routine management issues to the Executive Director (ED). The executive power of the ED has to be strengthened towards managing all programme activities. 

6. The resources required for integration and interface activities should be specifically identified in each of the individual work plans. In addition, there is an urgent need for a matrix of interconnected time schedules and deliverables.

7. A detailed roadmap of technical progress should be established in order to compare achievements against the plan. This roadmap should include key decision-making points and technological milestones.

8. The role of the Technology Evaluator (TE) in providing guidance to Integrated Technology Demonstrators (ITDs) should be emphasized. Therefore, the TE should be given a more pro-active responsibility in its interactions with ITDs. Current limitation in interactions between TE and ITDs could be significantly mitigated should demonstrator and TE activities be carried out beyond the current deadline of end 2015.

9. In a development programme like CS, the availability of a contingency budget is necessary to cover unforeseen developments.

10. CS should improve its visibility to the general public.

The Panel assesses the CSJU as an ambitious European initiative with the potential to become a new model of a public-private-partnership. The CSJU should be continued with special attention towards adhering to the main objectives and the work plans.

All the recommendations, in particular the above, have been addressed by actions which are monitored by the JU management. In particular:

- Focusing on the mainstream of Clean Sky, i.e. the integrated demonstrators, is a permanent activity in the coordination activity performed by the JU. This is also part of the annual reviews, to check how the highest Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) are prioritized.

- Keeping the schedule and achieving the environmental targets are the two main objectives of the JU management, and of the ITD coordination. The Quarterly Reports and the Development Plan, now well in place, allow such a monitoring, in order to have an early alert capability. Related key performance indicators on ITD level as well as for the management of the JU have been developed and first results are reported for 2011. It has to be noted that the delays mentioned in the Interim Assessment Report are mostly coming from the initial, starting phase. With respect to the rescheduling performed by mid-2010 and endorsed by the Governing Board through the Development Plan, no significant delay is reported up to now. The link with the market and the "end users" is basically ensured by the industrial stakeholders; the Technology Evaluator assessments, from early 2012 on, will allow for a wider communication on Clean Sky progress.

- Certification issues are addressed, both through working groups involving the industry and airworthiness Authorities, and periodic JU-EASA coordination.

- The Governing Board rules of procedures, as stated in Chapter 8, have been adapted in order to allow the meetings to be more and more focussed on strategic issues. The role of the Executive Director has been well recognized and strengthened; in particular, the Management Manual entered into full application in 2011. The interfaces between ITDs are being clarified and a cross-check of inputs and outputs is a condition of the Grant Agreements 2012 by the JU. More precise roadmaps have already been included in the Development Plan and are also part of the Annual Reviews targets.

- As described in the technical part of the report, the TE first assessment will be available at the beginning of 2012. The interactions with the ITDs have been subject to significant improvements during this first process. As a matter of fact, the role of the TE will be mainly focussed on providing an independent assessment of the progress towards the environmental objectives, while its feedback to the ITDs in order to support the down-selection of technologies will be more limited for timing reasons; this is not considered as a major issue, given that the ITD tools allow for making the right decisions. As recommended by the Report, it has been agreed to extend the cycle of TE assessments to 2016.

- No contingency margin is available as such; this would be very difficult to implement, at this stage of the programme. Nevertheless, such a margin will actually be provided, if needed, through the priority given to high Technology Readiness Levels in order to achieve the integration of the most mature technologies into the demonstrators.

1.2.7.     Main communication activities

A communication and dissemination strategy was adopted by the Governing Board in June 2010. An update was adopted in December 2011. This strategy defines objectives, target audiences, messages and tools and includes a more efficient communication to the general public.

In order to inform widely potential candidates about the calls for proposals launched during the year, the JU held information sessions in Toulouse, Vienna, Lisbon, Dublin, Ankara and Warsaw.

The Clean Sky initiative was promoted at different technical conferences, such as CEAS in Venice (Engineering associations council) or ISABE (engines) in Stockholm. The two main events were:

· The Aerodays in Madrid (March 2011): organized by the CDTI of Spain and the European Commission, this very important event (more than 1000 participants) allowed Clean Sky to have two dedicated workshops and to participate in a plenary session (Executive Director). Clean Sky was also present in the related exhibition with a booth where mockups and videos were displayed.

· The Paris Air Show (June 2011): organised every second year, is the biggest in the world. Clean Sky participated with its own "chalet" and organized workshops on different technical areas each day. A celebration of the 400th participant in Clean Sky, a German SME, took place on this occasion. Members of the European Parliament, European Commission and national officials, visitors from overseas, and many industrial representatives, paid a visit to this chalet and had meetings with the JU staff and ITD leaders as well.

Another excellent opportunity to communicate about Clean Sky to the public at large was offered by the Innovation Convention, held in Brussels on the 5 and 6 December 2011. This first edition of the Innovation Convention took place one year after the adoption of the Innovation Union flagship initiative. This conference brought together world leading experts in research and innovation to share their views on building a global innovation economy. Following a call for exhibitors open to the entire EU's Framework Programme for Research and the EU's Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme, a Clean Sky project was amongst the happy few (only 48 projects were retained): the BLADE project, as part of the Smart Fixed Wing Aircraft ITD, was selected for exhibition.

Clean Sky also participated in an event called "Innovation in Action" in the European Parliament, in October 2011; this one week event, co-organised by the 5 Joint Technology Initiatives and sponsored by Maria de Graça Carvalho, included a common exhibition and conferences in the Parliament. The Clean Sky conference was sponsored by Vittorio Prodi, as a Chairman of the Sky and Space intergroup.

A totally new, dynamic and interactive website[11] was made available in April 2011 and fully operational for the Paris Air Show. This website is now regularly updated. More information will be provided from now on, about the ITDs achievements, and about the projects completed by the Partners. In 2011 a set of factsheets on the ITDs characteristics and objectives was as well uploaded on the web page in March for wide communication purposes. 

The quarterly Newsletter, "Skyline", which was revamped in September 2010, was published on time in March, June and December 2011. A target group of 3000 recipients were regularly informed via e-news about the latest CS developments, and in particular about the launch of the calls for proposals. An 'info@cleansky.eu' mailbox answered regularly general information requests from the CS stakeholders.

Furthermore, CS issued 3 press releases on 2011 crucial achievements:

- Dassault Aviation evaluates laminar designs in flight as part of Europe’s Clean Sky Research Programme (January 2011)

- Clean Sky celebrates its 400th participant (June 2011)

- Early achievements of the Joint Technology Initiatives’ €10 billion R&D programme highlighted at the European Parliament (October 2011)

During 2011 Clean Sky has been quoted for 14 times in articles, press releases and publication at European level.

Two other relevant activities, crosscutting the areas of communication and relations with stakeholders, took place in 2011.

- Clean Sky intended to reinforce participation among the less active member States.  With this purpose, in June 2011 a round table on Aeronautical Research in Central and Eastern Europe was organized with the aim of exploring options to better involve in Clean Sky countries from Central and Eastern Europe. Participation to the panel was offered to representatives of leading "aeronautical countries" in the region (Czech Republic, Poland, Romania, Hungary, Baltic area) as well as to those participating in European Collaborative research. The Round Table was very well attended by Member States representatives from the region.

- The constant focus on the SMEs participation was complemented by two interviews with small and medium size companies having participated to the JTI's call for proposals. The first one was released in May 2011 to present a Belgium SME active in boosting innovation. Cenaero is a private applied research centre providing to companies involved in a technology innovation process high fidelity numerical simulation methods and tools to invent and design more competitive products[12]. The second one was published in June 2011 to celebrate the 400th participant to the CS call for proposal. XRG Simulation GmbH is a SME located in Hamburg, Ingolstadt and Bremen and represented a cornerstone in CS implementation. It has 14 employees and is active in the energy system simulation (e.g. aircraft systems, automotive systems, buildings, power plants, etc.) and related simulation products[13].

1.2.8.     Implementation of calls for proposals (CFPs) in 2011

2011 was the year of the evaluation of Call 7 - which was performed in January 2011, and the publication of three Calls for Proposals: Call 8 (2011-01), Call 9 (2011-02) and Call 10 (2011-03). The CS JU managed in total 159 topics, resulting in a total of 325 partners from 22 countries selected after call 10.

The present document shall provide detailed information on these four calls (calls 7 to 10). Details about the Grant Agreements signed in 2011 are provided in the last section on Grant agreements/Project portfolio, with those for grants relating to calls 1 to 6.

The table below gives an overview of the calls for proposals evaluated or launched by the Clean Sky JU in 2011, which will be reviewed in the present document:

The average response to the CSJU calls in 2011 was about 2 proposals per topic, i.e. more than 320 proposals in total. The average failure rate of the topics increased with respect to previous calls, especially in Call 10, up to a yearly average of 25%, again due either to a lack of proposals submitted in a certain topic, or to negative evaluation results of the proposals in a topic. A related corrective series of actions is on-going to recover the highest success rate of topics.

The figure below shows the presence of SMEs among the winning entities for the Calls evaluated or launched in 2011, in terms of number of SMEs in winning consortia per ITD, to be compared with the total of 118 GAPs to be signed in 2011.  For all calls for proposals (up to call 10), 37.1% of the winners selected for funding by the Clean Sky JU were SMEs.

1.2.9.     Results of calls for proposals (CFPs) launched between 2009 and in 2011

The geographic distribution of winning organisations (coordinator and participant) is presented in the figure below.

Considering redresses, one redress per call was submitted in each call published in 2011. In all cases the Redress Committee judged the relevance of the complaint, in one case proposing the re-evaluation of the proposals. In all cases, no change occurred to the ranking list as resulting from the evaluation. The figure below shows the positive trend of fewer redresses in Calls from 2010 to 2011, demonstrating the effectiveness and correctness of the evaluation process.

1.2.10.   Success stories

BLADE (acronym for Breakthrough Laminar Aircraft Demonstrator in Europe), which has been selected to be exhibited during the first Innovation Convention, organised in Brussels on the 5 and 6 December 2011. For the next generation aircraft, higher laminar performance is considered to be one of the key elements to reduce air resistance, increase overall performances and reduce CO² emissions. In the SFWA, as results of the research activities, an Airbus A340-300 will be fitted with new outer wing sections to demonstrate an entirely new designed natural laminar flow wing. In the BLADE project, Aernnova has developed a monitoring system that detects in real time damages and defects on such wings, reducing manufacturing and maintenance costs.

A second success story is the TaxiBot "Dispatch Towing Vehicle (DTV)"project, which won in 2011 the Innovation Award at Inter Airport Europe in Munich. The DTV is a towbar-less aircraft tractor dedicated to dispatch towing of single aisle aircrafts (e.g. A320, B737), allowing the aircraft to stop the engines during taxiing in and out. Even though the idea of dispatch towing has existed for decades, past attempts using existing tractors - dedicated to push back and maintenance towing - faced several problems. The DTV concept provides a comprehensive answer to the main drawbacks of classical dispatch towing, protecting airplane landing gears from excessive allowed fatigue limits at all times and allowing the pilot to stay "in control".

A further ongoing significant project is CARING (Contribution of Airlines for the Reduction of Industry Nuisances and Gases), which is the only Clean Sky project involving airlines. Launched at the beginning of 2010, it aimed at analysing how current and future environmental regulations may affect the economics of airlines. It also examined how airlines can best adapt to these changes. CARING was successfully completed after a 24 months duration, in December 2011.

1.3.        Programme implementation

The CS JU supports research activities carried out by the non-EC members of Clean Sky and by partners selected following open and competitive Calls for Proposals, independent evaluations and negotiations leading to the conclusion of partners Grant Agreements.

Clean Sky aims to create a radically innovative Air Transport System based on the integration of advanced technologies and full scale demonstrators, with the target of reducing the environmental impact of air transport through reduction of noise and gaseous emissions, and improvement of the fuel economy of aircraft. The activity covers all main flying segments of the Air Transport System and the associated underlying technologies identified in the Strategic Research Agenda for Aeronautics developed by the Aeronautics Technology Platform ACARE.

As already mentioned in the introduction to the JU, Clean Sky is built upon 6 different technical areas called Integrated Technology Demonstrators (ITDs), which perform preliminary studies and down-selection of work, followed by large-scale demonstrations on ground or in-flight, in order to bring innovative technologies to a maturity level where they can be applicable to new generation "green aircraft". Multiple links for coherence and data exchange will be ensured between the various ITDs.

The Technology Evaluator will be the first available European complete integrated tool delivering direct relationship between advanced technologies, still under development, and high-level local or global environment impact. It considers inputs from both inside and outside the "Clean Sky" perimeter to deliver environmental metrics and the levels of aircraft, airport and aircraft fleet level.

As aircraft fuel economy is also influenced by flight trajectory management strategy, Clean Sky has established links with the SESAR Joint Undertaking which investigates Air Traffic Management (ATM) technologies in line with the "Single Sky" initiative of the Commission. These links are established via the Technology Evaluator, as well as via the SGO ITD that develops the avionics equipment interfacing with ATM, and via management meetings involving the relevant staff members of the two JUs, up to the two Executive Directors.

1.3.1.     Grant agreements with members

The majority of the work inside the Clean Sky JU is carried out by its industrial members under the form of grant agreements with named beneficiaries. According to Article 13 (2) (a) of Council Regulation (EC) 71/2008 setting up the Joint Undertaking, an amount of up to € 400 million shall be allocated to the ITD leaders and up to € 200 million – to the associate members. In turn, the ITD leaders and associates engage to contribute resources at least matching the EU contribution.

The Clean Sky JU signed the first seven grant agreements with its members (referred to as "GAM") in 2008: - one for each of the six ITDs, - a supplementary one for the activities of the Technology Evaluator.

These grant agreements will remain in force for the whole duration of Clean Sky, until 31 December 2017. Each year, an amendment is signed in order to update the annual description of work with the corresponding JU financial contribution. No new named beneficiaries joined the CS JU in 2011. The commitments amounted to €17 M€ in 2008; €70.6 M in 2009, €75.7 M in 2010 and €103.16 M in 2011.

The Steering Committees responsible for technical decisions taken within each ITD and the TE met regularly in the course of 2011.

1.3.2.     Description of the 'Integrated Technology Demonstrators' (ITD) activities

The detailed progress of activities of each ITD in 2011 is presented in annex 1.

1.4.        Call implementation

1.4.1.     Grant agreements with partners

According to Article 13 (2) (b) of Council Regulation (EC) 71/2008 setting up the Joint Undertaking, the remaining 25% of the EU funding to the Clean Sky JU (amounting to at least € 200 million) are allocated to partners selected via open and competitive calls for proposals.

They serve the dual purpose of widening the participation in Clean Sky to other organisations and to identify R&D performers to take part in the mainstream activities of Clean Sky. Partners selected via calls for proposals are funded in compliance with the upper funding limits set in the FP7 Rules for Participation.

According to the Clean Sky's Rules for Participation and Rules for Submission of Proposals and the Related Evaluation, Selection and Award procedures any legal entity established in an EU Member State or in a country associated to the FP7 may participate in a CS project. A proposal may involve one or several participants. Examples of potential participants are research institutes, universities, industry, including SMEs, and end-users.

1.4.2.     Topic definition

The call topics are proposed by each ITD Steering Committee and reviewed by the CS JU Executive Office and by the European Commission. The calls are broadly published by all suitable channels, including the Clean Sky's website. According to the requirements of the ITD and the work package, a single stage submission and evaluation process is followed. Once a proposal is submitted, eligibility check and independent evaluations take place.

1.4.3.     Evaluation process

The evaluation of proposals is performed on the basis of the following principles:

· Excellence of projects selected;

· Transparency of decisions;

· Fairness and impartiality of evaluations;

· Confidentiality of all information;

· Efficiency and speed of evaluation;

· Compliance with ethical and security principles.

The evaluation of proposals is carried out by a panel of experts comprising two internal experts from the ITD responsible for the call and two external experts in an open and transparent competitive procedure. Topic managers representing the ITD leaders, as well as Clean Sky staff members also take part in the evaluation process. The presence of independent observers aims to verify and guarantee that the above-mentioned rules and principles are followed.

The evaluations are performed against six pre-determined evaluation criteria. For each criterion, a score is given on a scale from 0 (proposal fails to address the criterion) to 5 (proposal addresses all aspects of the criterion). All factors have equal weight. For a proposal to be considered for funding, it needs to pass the following thresholds: a minimum 3/5 for each of the 6 criteria and a minimum 20/30 total score.

№ || Evaluation criterion || Score || Weight || Threshold

1. || Technical excellence || 0 to 5 || 1 || 3/5

2. || Innovative character || 0 to 5 || 1 || 3/5

3. || Compliance with the call for proposals specification and timetable (relevance), || 0 to 5 || 1 || 3/5

4. || Adequacy and quality of respondent's resources, management and implementation capabilities and track record || 0 to 5 || 1 || 3/5

5. || Appropriateness and efficient allocation of the resources to be committed (budget, staff, equipment) || 0 to 5 || 1 || 3/5

6. || Contribution to European competitiveness || 0 to 5 || 1 || 3/5

|| Total score: || || || 20/30

The evaluation process consists of several steps:

1. Briefings of the experts to explain the process and the rules for evaluation;

2. Eligibility Review Committee to ensure a coherent legal interpretation of all cases and equal treatment of participants;

3. Individual remote evaluation, the results of which are included in an individual evaluation report;

4. Consensus meeting for each proposal, the results of which are included in a consensus evaluation report;

5. Topic meeting to examine and compare the various consensus reports, the results of which are included in an evaluation summary report. A topic report is also established with a list of ranked proposals above thresholds, a list of proposals failing one or more thresholds and a list of ineligible proposals, if any.

If the proposal passes the thresholds and is selected for funding, it enters into the next phase – the negotiation. The process is concluded by the signature of a contract, called Grant Agreement with Partners (referred to as "GAP").

It is important to note that the calls for proposals launched by the Clean Sky JU differ from FP7 collaborative research calls and calls launched by the other JTI JUs.

- The content of the activities is much more focused, i.e. there are topics, rather than research themes, with a limited duration and specific targeted results expected at higher technology readiness levels.

- The calls supplement the technical competences of the Clean Sky's members by performing highly specific activities, which, on the other hand, have to "slot in" with the overall technical work plan of the CS JU. For this reason, only one contract is awarded for each of the topics that are published, and compliance with the technical description is imperative. However, due to the very specific nature, it is possible to participate in a call as a single entity and not in a consortium, as allowed by the Clean Sky's Rules for Submission of Proposals.

- Another difference from collaborative research calls is that the budget is defined by the topic value, and not by the maximum funding, which allows a wider participation from all types of entities, independently from the actual eligibility for funding.

2.           Progress achieved by the IMI JU

2.1.        Introduction to the IMI JU

The Innovative Medicines Initiative Joint Undertaking (hereinafter referred to as "IMI") has been established by Council Regulation (EC) 73/2008 of 20 December 2007 as a public-private partnership between the pharmaceutical industry, represented by the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA)[23], and the European Union, represented by the European Commission.

The IMI JU has been set up for a period up to 31 December 2017 with the main objectives to build a collaborative eco-system for pharmaceutical R&D in Europe[24] and to speed up the development of more effective and safer medicines for patients. In achieving this, IMI creates large-scale networks of innovation in pharmaceutical research. Joining forces in the IMI research and training projects, leading pharmaceutical companies and SMEs, academia, regulatory agencies and patients' organisations cooperate with each other to tackle the major challenges in drug development and to improve people's health. This brings up socio-economic benefits to European citizens and society and increases the competitiveness of the European pharmaceutical industry.

The objectives of the IMI JU are achieved through coordination of research activities that pool resources from public and private sectors. These activities are carried out by the members of EFPIA directly, and by partners selected through calls for proposals.

2.1.1.     Budget

The maximum Union contribution to the IMI Joint Undertaking covering running costs and research activities shall be €1 billion. The contribution is paid from the appropriation in the general budget of the European Union allocated to the ‘Health’ theme of the Specific Programme "Cooperation" implementing the Seventh Framework Programme.

EFPIA provides monetary contribution to the IMI JU running costs, in an amount equal to the contribution of the Union. The pharmaceutical companies' members of EFPIA jointly fund the IMI research activities through contributions in kind at least equal to the financial contribution of the Union.

2.1.2.     Governing structure

2.2.        Outline of the main activities and achievements in 2011

2011 was the second full year of autonomous operation for the Innovative Medicines Initiative Joint Undertaking (IMI), a year marked by consolidating its operations and structures and making further significant developments in establishing itself as a new model for drug development based on pre-competitive research and open collaboration, in line with the vision of its Founding Members.

The revised IMI grant agreement has been approved in November 2011. It improves the rules in order to better accommodate the expectations of both public and private partners in the collaborative projects. The new rules ensure in a flexible way that the public funds are well spent, while the industrial partners can optimize their commitment in the IMI projects using their usual accounting principles.

Several operational procedures have been simplified and streamlined in order to reduce the administrative burden for consortium partners, to shorten the time interval between the launch of the Calls for proposals and the initiation of the projects, and to improve the budget execution.

IMI has learnt from the experiences of the scientific teams in the 23 on-going IMI projects. By responding to their feedback, IMI reinforces its commitment to radically change the ecosystem for pharmaceutical research. IMI is now even better equipped to engage public and private teams in collaborative projects, offering them a unique and attractive partnership to accelerate drug development in Europe.

2.2.1.     Organisation of the team in IMI JU.

In total, the IMI JU could hire up to 34 staff (temporary and contract agents) in 2011, including one Executive Director, 8 project officers, one Head of Administration & Finance Unit, one Internal Audit Manager, one External Relations Manager, one Communication and Event Manager and other.

Recruitments were conducted in 2011 in line with the Staff Plan approved by the Governing Board and 12 new staff members were integrated as follows. The "Science" pillar increased by 2 additional Scientific Project Officers and 1 Administrative Assistant. The "Communication" pillar grew by 1 Communication Officer (events) and 1 External Relations and Communications Assistant.  The "Administration and Finance" pillar also expanded, with the following new staff joining: 1 Financial Manager, 1 HR Officer, 1 Finance and Procurement Officer, 1 Administrative Assistant, 1 IT Manager, 1 Legal Officer and the Head of Administrative and Finance. 32 positions were actually filled on 31/12/2011, in line with the Staff Establishment Plan.

2.2.2.     Progress in the implementation of the Strategic Research Agenda,

To reflect the scientific advances and changes in industry, the IMI Scientific Committee initiated the revision of the initial Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) in 2010. After consultation with various stakeholders, the IMI Executive Office finalised the revision of the SRA in 2011 in conjunction with both Founding Members. The IMI SRA was revised in order to provide a new framework for the preparation of future IMI Calls for proposals with a focus on large-scale, game-changing projects. Two such topics were already introduced in the 4th Call for proposals launched in 2011.

In order to successfully tackle the challenges and opportunities created by recent major progress in science, as well as the significant changes and transformations in the pharmaceutical industry and healthcare systems in general, IMI has to foster strategic initiatives focused on 'game-changing' ideas and areas where the maximum number of companies can join forces.

Some of these areas had not been identified in the 2008 IMI SRA and are now included in the revised SRA, in which 8 new priorities have been defined:

1. Pharmacogenetics and Taxonomy of Human Diseases

2. Rare Diseases and Stratified Therapies

3. Systems Approaches in Drug Research

4. ‘Beyond High Throughput Screening‘- Pharmacological Interactions at the Molecular Level

5. API Technology (Drug Compound Development)

6. Advanced Formulations

7. Stem Cells for Drug Development and Toxicity Screening

8. Integration of Imaging Techniques into Drug Research

2.2.3.     Major decisions taken by the Governing Board and other JU bodies

The Governing Board oversees the implementation of IMI’s activities. As from April 2011, the European Commission chaired the Governing Board for a one year mandate. The Governing Board met three times during 2011 and held teleconferences for information purposes as from May 2011 on a monthly basis, when no face-to-face meetings were held.

The main decisions taken in 2011 by the Governing Board were:

· Adoption of the Annual Implementation Plan for 2012, including the Annual Budget Plan for 2012 and the preliminary draft budget for 2013

· Adoption of the Annual Activity Report for 2010, including the Annual Accounts for 2010,

· Adoption of the Mission Charter of the Internal Audit Service of the European Commission as regards IMI,

· Adoption of the Internal Audit Strategy,

· Adoption of the revised Strategic Research Agenda, Adoption of the revised Grant agreement,

· Adoption of Call 3 Stage 1 and 2 outcomes

· Adoption of Call 4 topics, documents and Stage 1 outcomes,

· Endorsement of Key Performance Indicators,

· Endorsement of the Communication Strategy and Action Plan,

· Nomination of Scientific Committee members.

2.2.4.     Outcome of 1st interim evaluation

The objective of this evaluation was to assess the IMI JU against three criteria: quality, efficiency progress towards the objectives set. The Commission invited a panel of independent experts to perform the first interim evaluation. The experts reviewed evidence and interviewed stakeholders.

The evaluation panel issued its report on 20 December 2010[25]. The response from the Commission to the first interim evaluation of IMI has been published as a Staff Working Paper attached to the Partnering Communication (COM(2011)572) from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions, which was published in September 2011. The staff working paper is also published on the mentioned IMI website.

The overall appreciation of the panel for the first interim evaluation of IMI is positive. The experts state that "through the IMI JU Europe has succeeded in establishing a new business model between public and private sectors" by bringing together the pharmaceutical industry, academia, SMEs as well as regulatory authorities and patient organisations. This cooperation "enables mutual learning and the opportunity to build understanding of the respective rationales and approaches, with benefits to all parties."

The experts consider that the implementation of certain aspects of the IMI governance should be refined in order to better align the different actors in IMI, namely the Governing Board, the Scientific Committee, the Executive Office and the States Representatives Group.

Based on the identified weaknesses in the areas of governance structures, lack of proactive communication, not optimum exploitation of the advisory potential of stakeholders such as the European Medicines Agency and finally the lack of key performance indicators, the evaluation panel has come up with seven recommendations to make IMI better:

(1) Continuously improve stakeholder involvement in IMI supported research projects

(2) Continuously ensure EFPIA and Commission commitment

(3) Ensure excellence and exploit new ways to support IMI scientific objectives

(4) Improve IMI communication

(5) Reinforce and streamline decision making and well-functioning processes

(6) Ensure best use of IMI results and IMI sustainability

(7) Develop monitoring and evaluation processes.

2.2.5.     Main communication activities

The IMI Communication Strategy and key messages have been further developed, approved and implemented. As the overviews below show, IMI has generated wider visibility and improved its image vis-à-vis its stakeholders through various events, publications and other communication actions.

In the second half of 2011, communication focused on IMI Calls, achievements and on process improvements. These topics have been widely covered by various target-oriented websites and other publications and have generated a positive interest among stakeholders and also outside the EU.

Key Events || Place Date (2011) || Target audience || Message || Comments

The Communication Strategy of 2012 will further expand on these themes, in a more in-depth and target-group oriented way.

2.2.6.     Success stories

As successful project, NEWMEDS should be mentioned. In the area of depression and schizophrenia, the project NEWMEDS created new databases allowing the collection and warehousing of large datasets. This led to the assembly of the largest known repository of antipsychotic clinical trial data comprising 23,401 patients from the five leading pharmaceutical companies in this area.

2.3.        Call implementation

Project participants are selected by IMI through open and competitive calls for proposals following a two-stage submission and evaluation process.

During the first stage (referred to also as "Stage 1") the call for proposals is announced. The interested parties from academia, SMEs, patient organisations, regulatory agencies and large non-EFPIA companies are invited to form applicant consortia and to submit their Expressions of Interest (EoIs) in response to the call. A first peer review is then performed, resulting in a shortlist of top-ranked consortia. The applicant consortia of the best ranked EoIs and the EFPIA consortium already associated to the topic are invited to form a full project consortium. They prepare a Full Project Proposal (FPP) containing a draft project agreement, which shall be concluded by the members of the consortium governing their relationship.

In the second stage of the call (referred to as "Stage 2"), the FPPs are evaluated during a second peer review based on the consistency with the original EoI, scientific excellence, quality of the implementation plan and potential impact. Ethical issues are also considered at this stage. Only FPPs that have been favourably reviewed in Stage 2 of the call can be selected for funding. The selected full project consortia are invited then to conclude a grant agreement governing their relationship with the IMI JU.

.

The evaluation criteria as listed in the table below are applied. Thresholds are set for some or all of the criteria, such that any expressions of interest or full project proposal failing to achieve the threshold scores will be rejected. A weight is also applied to some criteria. The fourth criterion at this stage was only assessing the existence of potential ethical issues to be reviewed in the next stage of the call.

№ || Evaluation criterion || Score || Weight || Threshold

1. || Scientific and/or technological excellence || 0 to 5 || 4 || 15/20

2. || Excellence of partnership || 0 to 5 || 3 || 10/15

3. || Work plan outline || 0 to 5 || --- || ---

4. || Ethical issues || Yes/No || --- || ---

Implementation during 2011:

The deadline for submitting Expressions of Interest in the first stage of the 3rd Call for proposals (3rd call for proposal, including seven topics, was launched on 22 October 2010) was 18 January 2011. IMI received 32 Expressions of Interest in response to the 3rd Call; these were evaluated in February and March 2011.

Following the approval of the recommendations of the evaluation panels by the Governing Board, and the decision to launch the second stage of the Call process, the 7 first-ranked EoIs were invited to prepare a Full Project Proposal together with the pre-established EFPIA consortium and to submit the Full Project Proposals by 15 June 2011. The evaluation of the 7 FPPs was again conducted with the help of external experts working initially remotely and then at a consensus panel meeting. All 7 FPPs were recommended for funding by the experts and their selection for funding was approved by the Governing Board.

The EFPIA in-kind contribution committed to the 3rd Call projects is €70.8 million. The IMI JU contribution committed to these projects is €111.8 million.

Grant agreements were signed in December 2011 for 5 projects. This enabled IMI to proceed with pre-financing payments of €25,2 million to these projects. The pre-financings to the remaining 2 projects from the IMI 3rd call have been executed at the beginning of 2012 and will be reported on in next year's report.

The 4th Call for proposals was published on 18 July 2011. The deadline for submitting Expressions of Interest in this first stage of the Call was 18 October 2011. The successful dissemination of information about the 4th Call to potential IMI stakeholders translated into an increased number of Expressions of Interests being submitted (86 EoIs were received).

Further to the evaluation of eligible Expressions of Interest submitted in the first stage of the IMI JU 4th Call, the IMI Governing Board has approved on 14 December 2011 the result of the 1st stage and has decided to launch the second stage of the Call process. Accordingly, the first-ranked Applicant Consortia from Stage 1 have been invited to form Full Consortia with the corresponding EFPIA participants and to prepare and submit Full Project Proposals to IMI JU by 13 March 2012. The call consisted of seven topics[26], already reflecting changes introduced in the revised Scientific Research Agenda:

The EFPIA in-kind contribution committed to the 4th Call for proposals is €105 million. Requested IMI JU contribution totals €101.6 million.

Preparations were made during the latter part of 2011 for further calls to be launched in 2012, which will be reported on in the 2012 report.

3.           Progress achieved by the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen (FCH) JU

3.1.        Introduction to the FCH JU

The Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (hereinafter referred to as "FCH JU") has been established by Council Regulation (EC) N° 521/2008 of 30 May 2008 as an industry-led public-private partnership supporting research, technological development and demonstration (RTD) activities in fuel cell and hydrogen energy technologies in Europe. The FCH JU members are the New Energy World Industry Grouping (NEW-IG)[27], representing the fuel cell and hydrogen industries, the N.ERGHY Research Grouping[28], representing the research community, and the European Union, represented by the European Commission.

The FCH JU has been set up for a period up to 31 December 2017 with the main objective to significantly accelerate the market introduction of fuel cell and hydrogen technologies, realising their potential as an instrument in achieving a carbon-clean energy system. The broader use of fuel cells, as an efficient power conversion technology, and hydrogen, as an environment-friendly energy carrier, can contribute to reduce greenhouse gas emissions[29], and lower the dependence on hydrocarbons, and to stimulate the economic growth. The aim of the FCH JU is to bring these benefits to Europeans through a concentrated effort from all sectors pooling together public and private resources.

3.1.1.     Budget

The maximum EU contribution to the FCH JU is € 470 million, covering running costs (€ 20 million) and operational costs (€ 450 million). The EU contribution is paid from the appropriations in the general budget of the European Union allocated to themes "Energy", "Nanosciences, Nanotechnologies, Materials and New Production Technologies", "Environment" and "Transport" of the Specific Programme "Cooperation" under the FP7. For operational costs, the EU contribution shall be matched by all the legal entities participating in the FCH JU activities.

3.1.2.     Activities

The FCH JU programme of activities comprises long-term and breakthrough-orientated research, research and technological development, and demonstration and support actions. Project support is mainly granted following open and competitive calls for proposals, peer review evaluation and the conclusion of Grant Agreements. A small number of activities are implemented thorough calls for tender (i.e. public procurement).

The strategic research and demonstration priorities of the FCH JU are set out in the Multi-Annual Implementation Plan (MAIP). This document is critical since it outlines the activities to be supported by the FCH JU and serves as a basis to draft the Annual Implementation Plans (AIP) which contains inter alia the topics for the annual Calls for Proposals. The MAIP 2008-2013 outlines four main application areas (AA):

(1) Transport & Refuelling Infrastructure – It has as a main objective the development and testing of competitive hydrogen-fuelled road vehicles and corresponding hydrogen refuelling infrastructure, and the full range of supporting elements for market deployment and increased industrial capacity. Approximately 32-36% of the overall budget will be devoted to this application area

(2) Hydrogen Production and Storage – It aims to develop and, where possible, fully implement a portfolio of cost-competitive, energy efficient and sustainable hydrogen production, storage and distribution processes enabling supply of the anticipated hydrogen energy demand while demonstrating the role that hydrogen can play as an energy carrier in reaching Europe’s key long term and mid-term energy objectives. Approximately 10-12% of the overall budget will be devoted to this application area

(3) Stationary Power Production & Combined Heat and Power – The overall objective is to improve the technology for fuel cell stack and balance of plant components to the level required by the stationary power generation and CHP (Combined Heat & Power) markets by bridging the gap between laboratory prototypes and pre-commercial systems. Approximately 34-37 % of the overall budget will be devoted to this application area.

(4) Early Markets – The aim is to develop and deploy a range of fuel cell-based products capable of entering the market in the near term and to turn into commercial success stories. Early markets are considered strategically important to build up and sustain an early manufacturing and supply base for fuel cells products and systems. Approximately 12-14 % of the overall budget will be devoted to this application area.

Cross-cutting activities have been established as a fifth area to provide programme level coordination. These include drafting of regulations and formulation of codes and standards, pre-normative and socio-economic research, technology and life cycle assessments, market support (particularly for SMEs), public awareness and education. Approximately 6-8% of the overall budget will be dedicated to these cross-cutting activities.

3.1.3.     Governing structure

For coordinating the inputs of all the members and managing its activities, the Joint Undertaking's governance structure comprises of two executive bodies – the Governing Board and the Executive Director assisted by the Programme Office, and three advisory bodies – the Scientific Committee, the States Representatives Group (SRG) and the Stakeholders' General Assembly.

3.2.        Outline of the main activities and achievements in 2011

The main operational objectives of the FCH JU in 2011 focused on the negotiation of grant agreements resulting from the 2010 call, the evaluation of proposals of the 2011 call, the management of on-going projects, the revision of the Multi Annual Implementation Plan (MAIP), the drafting of Annual Implementation Plan (AIP) 2012 and the communication activities.

In the field of administration and finance the most important achievements were the finalisation of the Establishment Plan, the adoption of the new procedures to complete and strengthen the internal control system, the validation of the accounting system and the mitigation of critical risks identified during the Risk Management Process.

Moreover, two key milestones were achieved during this period: (i) the adoption of Council Regulation (EU) N° 1183/2011 of 14 November 2011, amending the FCH JU founding regulation and (ii) the first interim evaluation of the FCH JU.

3.2.1.     Organisation of the team in FCH JU.

Since June 2011 FCH JU has reached full capacity in staff recruitment, in line with its Staff Establishment Plan: 18 temporary agents and 2 contract agents.

3.2.2.     Main operational activities and achievements

The key operational achievements are related to two Calls for Proposals, FCH-JU-2010-1 and FCH-JU-2011-1. The former was concluded with the successful negotiation of 26 grant agreements with a financial contribution of the FCH JU of €83.8 M. In addition some public tenders were also launched in order to produce comparative studies on the benefits of fuel cells and hydrogen in different application areas.

The RTD priorities and topics to be included in the AIP for the 2012 call were initially drafted by the Application Area Working Groups led by representatives of the member companies of the Industry Grouping. The AIP 2012 was completed after consultations with the relevant services of the Commission, the Scientific Committee and the FCH JU States Representatives Group. Based on the AIP 2102, the 2012 call for proposals will include 31 topics, with an estimated FCH JU financial contribution of € 77.5 million.

Another important achievement was the revision of the MAIP. The process was initiated by the end of 2010 and was completed during 2011.The revised version proposes new targets for the different Application Areas. These targets have been extended until year 2020 (instead of 2015) and updated taking into consideration the technical and scientific progress achieved since the first MAIP. The current version is ambitious and competitive in comparison with efforts world-wide and will be used in the elaboration of the coming Annual Implementation Plans of the FCH JU (i.e. 2012 and 2013).

As a result of the MAIP review, some topics will not be considered in future calls (Cryogenic hydrogen storage, Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engines (ICE), Rail propulsion, Application readiness of stationary Fuel Cells, Manufacturing, assembly and testing of micro fuel cells and Pre-normative research and RCS of safe in-door use of fuel cells). On the other hand, the following 6 topics have been added:

- Optimization of electrolyzer design for energy storage

- Resource efficient production of hydrogen from biogas

- Resource efficient conversion of hydrogen to electricity

- Optimized systems for electricity storage and restitution from and to the grid via hydrogen

- Demonstration of portable and micro FCs for various applications

- Research and development of >1kW fuel cell systems and hydrogen supply for early market applications.

The operational indicators for the follow-up of the programme implementation are indicated in the table below.

3.2.3.     Amendment of Council Regulation

Recognising the membership of the N.ERGHY Research Grouping, on November 2011, the 14th, the Council of Ministers adopted the Regulation (EU) No 1183/2011[41] which amended the original Council Regulation setting up the FCH JU. By this amendment the EU contribution shall now be matched by those from all FCH JU beneficiaries (including research centres and universities) and not only, as before the amendment, from industry. This will result inter alia in a better alignment of the FCH JU maximum funding rates with those of FP7 making them more attractive and predictable than at present. The amendment does not affect the Union contribution to the Joint Undertaking (i.e. no additional budget is requested) and has no impact on the FCH JU objectives, legal status, structure and/or statutes. It also clarifies a number of minor but important issues, including how to take national and regional funding into account, the possibility for the FCH JU members to pay their financial contribution in instalments.

3.2.4.     Administrative and financial activities

The premises of the FCH JU Programme Office moved from COVE (Covent Garden) to the "White Atrium" (Avenue de la Toison d’Or 56-60) in January 2011. The new IT infrastructure was established and enhanced throughout the year and, in collaboration with the Accountant of the FCH JU, the inventory database for IT equipment and furniture was set up.

Since June 2011 the Staff Establishment Plan is fully filled. Eight new staff members took up their duties during the year. Furthermore, FCH JU rules governing trainees and their implementation were adopted and the first two trainees were hosted.

The Internal Audit Capability (IAC) carried out two assurance engagements (‘Assessment of FCH JU users’ access rights granted in ABAC’ and ‘Assessment of FCH JU users’ access rights granted in FP7 IT systems’), provided consulting services on four distinct areas (Risk Management, Annual Activity Report, Management Reporting and Internal Control Standards) and was responsible of the setting up of the ex-post audit process. In addition, the IAC carried out jointly with the Commission’s Internal Audit Service (IAS) a risk assessment in order to establish a risk-based and coordinated audit plan for the period 2011-2013.

New procedures to complete and strengthen the internal control system were adopted, in particular for review and acceptance of periodic reports and cost claims and for ex-post audit of beneficiaries, and implemented as the first cost claims were received and the first audits were launched. The accounting system was validated by the Accountant of the FCH JU on 21 November 2011.

The identification of critical risks in the frame of the Risk Management process early 2011 (e.g. impact of funding rates on attractiveness of the programme, IT issues) enabled the development of corrective actions to mitigate them as confirmed by the risk management exercise carried out in October 2011.

3.2.5.     Governance - Major decisions taken by the Governing Board and other JU bodies

3.2.5.1.  FCH JU Governing Board

The FCH Governing Board held three meetings in 2011:

· The 8th Governing Board meeting was held on 10 March 2011. The main decisions taken were: adoption of the first budget amendment for the financial year 2011; approval of the list of proposals to start negotiations for call FCH-JU-2010-1; adoption of the "Implementing Rules on Access to documents".

· At the 9th Governing Board meeting on 24 June 2011, Mr. Pierre-Etienne Franc, representing the NEW Industry Grouping was unanimously elected as the new chairman of the FCH JU Governing Board.

- Coordinated IAS-IAC strategic audit plan for 2011-2013

- Negotiation results and decision for concluding a grant agreement for the (8) batches of projects from the Call FCH-JU-2010-1.

3.2.5.2.  FCH JU Consultative bodies

The Scientific Committee met once during the year (14 June) and its members agreed to support the annual review of FCH JU and FP7 projects by advising on the process (templates and programme) and its follow-up (final report to be published). They also provided input on the scientific priorities of the AIP 2011 and AIP 2012 and on the revision of the Multi-Annual Implementation Plan (MAIP).

The States Representatives Group (SRG) held three meetings in 2011. The focus of the first two meetings was for the Programme Office, and for the Commission and the Industry Grouping, to provide updates to the Group members on the FCH JU progress and main issues. Discussions on the way to improve coordination between Member States (MS) and FCH JU Programmes were on the agenda of the third meeting. They revealed different levels of advancement and commitment among the participant MS and difficulties to agree on jointly funded actions.  The SRG was also consulted on the topics of the calls for proposals 2011 and 2012, and on the revision of the MAIP. It was also requested to provide with data on projects funded at MS level, as part of a "mapping exercise" carried out by SETIS, the Strategic Energy Technology Information System of the Joint Research Centre (JRC).

The Stakeholders General Assembly was held in Brussels on 22 & 23 November 2011, organised in two parts: first day on the review of on-going projects[42] and second day on a political session involving all the stakeholders, MEPs and international guests[43].

3.2.6.     Outcome of 1st interim evaluation

The first interim evaluation of the FCH JU was carried out by the Commission with the assistance of a panel of independent experts. The evaluation had as an objective to assess the effectiveness, efficiency and quality of the FCH JU operations, both with regard to the Joint Undertaking and its operating bodies and the technical activities carried out by its members and project participants.

The primary outcome of the experts' report[44] is that the FCH JU is an achievement and represents a valuable instrument for the European Union that should be maintained and supported to implement its work as originally envisaged. However, the experts have also identified a number of issues encountered by the FCH JU as well as some areas where its operation could be improved.

The experts considered that the set-up of the FCH JU took too long and concluded that the current legal framework as a “Community/Union body” is not best-suited to industry led public-private partnerships like JTIs and should be streamlined. They also highlighted that funding rates for FCH JU projects have proved variable from year to year and, in addition, always considerably lower than those of FP7. They also expressed concerns about the inadequate resources of the Programme Office for effective project monitoring and management, the insufficient cohesion and collaboration with Member States’ related programmes and the lack of a robust project monitoring and assessment and an international cooperation strategy.

In order to address these issues the experts' panel made a series of recommendations that aim to remove or reduce weaknesses as identified in the current operations of the FCH JU and to improve its effectiveness and quality. The specific recommendations are grouped in five broad categories:

(1) Reinforce portfolio management:

(2) Ensure high agility of operations and adaptability to changing competitive forces

(3) Improve visibility, communication and outreach

(4) Improve collaboration and alignment with Member States

(5) Ensure high efficiency of operations

3.2.7.     Main communication activities

FCH JU communication activities mainly aim at raising awareness of the FCH technologies and their contribution to the current energy and environmental challenges.  The presentation of FCH activities and the opportunities offered by the Calls for Proposals is made at national, European and international level. The main events and initiatives to be quoted are the following:

- Development of a new web site address[45] managed in-house, replacing the sub-site hosted by DG RTD. After a successful launch (15 March 2011), more than 40,000 visitors (47% new and 53% returning) have been recorded.

- Presence of an information stand in the Charlemagne building during the EU Sustainable Energy Week (10 to 14 April 2011).

- Info Day (Brussels, 12 May) and brokerage event (Berlin, 19 May) on call for proposals FCH-JU-2011-1. Industry and research met in Berlin to discuss proposals for Call 2011. The meeting was an opportunity for all parties interested in responding to the Call for proposals 2011 to receive detailed information about the call, discuss concrete project ideas and find partners for their project consortia. Approximately 130 representatives of industry and research joined this 3rd FCH JU Brokerage event, highlighting the importance of Fuel Cells and Hydrogen technologies for European energy future.

- The Stakeholders General Assembly (Brussels, 2 & 23 November 2011) proposed a review of the on-going projects (44 from FCH JU calls and 14 from FP7 calls)[46] on the one hand, and a political session involving all the stakeholders, MEPs and international guests[47]. About 400 people participated in these events, representatives from the industry (for a large majority), the research community, Member States, Regions and EU public authorities. A "Drive n’Ride" event was also organised by the industry, where more than 120 participants had the opportunity to experience driving in one of the 8 fuel cell electric cars displayed and see a fully mobile and compact hydrogen station.

- "Innovation in action": joint exhibition in the European Parliament in Brussels in collaboration with the other 4 Joint Undertakings from 4 to 6 October 2011, followed by a public conference, which counted on the presence of a number of MEPs.

- Promotion of the FCH JU hydrogen-powered fuel cell car on lease. This car is to demonstrate the readiness of this technology to EU policy makers and citizens. It was available for testing by Members of the European Parliament, Commissioners, EU Officials and other policy makers.

- Participation of the Executive Director and/or the Programme Office staff in some 25 external events and conferences in different MS and key non-European countries (US, Japan, Korea, China, Canada) to present the FCH JU developments and explore further potential collaboration.

- Besides these activities, the following events were organised: During the Challenge Bibendum event 2011, FCH Joint Undertaking organised an Information session to present its objectives and explain how companies and organisations can benefit from taking part in its activities (19 May 2011, Berlin). It was hosted at the Tempelhof Airport and welcomed about 30 representatives of industry, research and public administration.

- The first ADEL project International workshop[48] (20 October 2011, Sevilla). The first workshop from ADEL project, supported by FCH JU, would serve as a catalyst for communication and data exchange between international experts in energy vector production plants, integrating non-fossil energy sources. It was relevant to the scientific community and to industry representatives. Well-known speakers from both the scientific community and industry have been invited to present the latest information on their research and technologies, and to share their experience with participants.

Furthermore, FCH JU issued 5 press releases on 2011 main achievements, namely:

- New Board members for the Industry Grouping of the FCH JU (5 April 2011)

- Launch of FCH 4th annual call for proposals  (3 May 2011)

- FCH JU driving a hydrogen-powered fuel cells car (4 October 2011)

- Early achievements of the Joint Technology Initiatives’ €10 billion R&D programme highlighted at the European Parliament (6 October 2011)

- 4th stakeholders General Assembly (23 November 2011) 

3.2.8.     Success story

It is to underline that most projects need to wait until they are finished before one can call them really major successes. Nevertheless the following on-going project has already been selected as an illustrative "societal story" for the communication campaign for the 2013 calls publication and should be mentioned.

A number of European cities are currently pioneering the development and introduction of city buses powered by environmentally-friendly hydrogen fuel cells. The Clean Hydrogen In European Cities Project (CHIC)[49] began in November 2010 to promote the development of hydrogen fuel cell (FCH) buses for public transport and prepare the way for the widespread use of this technology and its associated infrastructure starting in 2015.

The project which is co-financed by the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking, regions and local public transport authorities, brings together vehicle manufacturers, transport operators and hydrogen infrastructure providers in Belgium, Germany, Canada, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland and the UK.

The FCH buses use hydrogen fuel cells to generate electricity to drive the wheels. The buses are sometimes augmented in a hybrid fashion with batteries or a supercapacitor. The process of producing hydrogen from natural gas and steam is currently the most cost effective and reliable method and, as the industry expands, costs could be further reduced and sustainability further increased.

Under the CHIC project 26 hydrogen fuel cell powered buses are being deployed together with the necessary hydrogen refuelling infrastructure in normal city bus operations across a number of European cities. The partners in Phase 1 of the CHIC project include Aarau (Switzerland), Bolzano (Italy), London, Milan and Oslo.

In a second phase of the project, the CHIC project team together with the European Association for Hydrogen, Fuel Cells and Electro-mobility in European Regions (HyER), will facilitate the uptake of the use of FCH buses in a further group of European regions and cities - the so-called CHIC Phase 2 cities - that have expressed interest in using FCH buses in their public transport fleets.

In September 2011 two hydrogen-driven fuel cell hybrid buses successfully finished a four-month test period in Germany. The 18 metre long 'bendy' buses named "Phileas" are now taking up regular public transport service on inner-city and regional lines around the cities of Hürth and Brühl.

The CHIC project is an essential next step towards full commercialisation of hydrogen powered fuel cell buses. CHIC aims to reduce the 'time to market' for the technology and support 'market lift off'.

The CHIC project coordinator commented: "The CHIC project is based on a staged introduction and build-up of FCH bus fleets and the supporting infrastructure across Europe. A phased approach will link together experienced and new cities in partnerships which will greatly facilitate the smooth introduction of the new systems now and into the future". “The expected results of CHIC will take the technology to the brink of commercialisation, leading in turn to very significant environmental and economic benefits for Europe and the community worldwide”, the project coordinator adds.

3.3.        Call implementation

The FCH JU launches open and competitive calls for proposals annually on the basis of which funding is granted for research, technological development and demonstration projects. The topics stem from the FCH JU Annual Implementation Plan (AIP) and are consistent with the five Application Areas described in the introduction and with the RTD priorities and key objectives for the respective year.

Two types of funding schemes are used to implement projects in the FCH JU: 1) collaborative projects, and 2) coordination and support actions. The schemes to be used in the different calls are announced in the call fiche.

– Collaborative projects are objective-driven research projects aiming at developing new knowledge, technology or product. Participants must form a consortium of at least three legal entities established in different EU Member States or FP7 associated countries, of which at least one should be a member of the Industry Grouping or the Research Grouping. Collaborative projects typically last two to five years.

– The second funding scheme allows also for two other types of actions to be financed: coordination (networking) actions, coordinating research activities and policies and support actions contributing to the Annual Implementation Plan and the preparation of future EU research and technological development policy. Coordination actions are normally completed in two to four years, while support actions have a shorter duration.

FCH JU's projects are selected through calls for proposals following a single stage submission and evaluation process. Applications must be submitted using a special web-based service before a strictly-enforced deadline. The notifications for calls for proposals are published in the Official Journal of the European Union and broadly announced through various communication channels, including on the FCH JU website, indicating call topics, indicative budget, funding scheme, deadlines for submission and links to the submission tool.

The whole call process is managed by the Programme Office of the FCH JU according to the principles of excellence, transparency, fairness and impartiality, confidentiality, efficiency, speed and ethical and security considerations and following the FCH JU Rules for submission of proposals and the related evaluation, selection and award procedures.

As a first step, the FCH JU performs an eligibility check to see whether the applicants meet the announced eligibility criteria. Then FCH JU appoints independent experts to assist with the evaluation of proposals and identify those of best quality for possible funding. All eligible proposals are evaluated with respect to the evaluation criteria and the associated weight and thresholds set for the call, outlined in the table below:

№ || Evaluation criterion || Score || Weight || Threshold

1. || S/T Excellence || 0 to 5 || --- || 3/5

2. || Quality and efficiency || 0 to 5 || --- || 3/5

3. || Impact || 0 to 5 || --- || 3/5

|| Total score: || 15 || || 10/30

Evaluations are done in three steps: remotely, through on-site consensus meetings and panel reviews. During the remote evaluation, proposals are assessed individually by a minimum of three experts and the results are included in an individual evaluation report. Once the experts complete their individual assessments, the evaluation proceeds to a consensus assessment, the objective of which is to exchange common views on the evaluated proposals. The results of the consensus meetings are included in consensus evaluation reports. The final step in the evaluation process is the panel review. The outcome of this review are the evaluation summary reports for each proposal, including a list of ranked proposals above thresholds for each application area, a list of proposals failing one or more thresholds and a list of ineligible proposals, if any. The presence of independent observers during the different evaluation stages verifies and guarantees that the above-mentioned rules and principles are followed.

After completing the evaluation and establishing ranked lists with proposals for funding for each application area and a reserve list, these lists are presented to the FCH JU Governing Board. Once the latter approves the list of proposals to be funded, the Joint Undertaking enters into negotiations with the coordinators. If a negotiation is successfully concluded, the project is selected and a grant agreement providing for a FCH JU financial contribution is signed.

The whole evaluation process is described in the figure below:

Implementation in 2011:

The FCH JU launched and evaluated one call for proposals (FCH-JU-2011-1). The evaluation was carried out by 37 independent experts and 2 chairpersons who oversaw the whole consensus phase. In addition, 1 independent observer monitored that the evaluation procedure was carried out in a fair, impartial and confidential manner. The individual remote evaluations took place from 5 to 16 September and the consensus meetings from 19 to 21 September 2011, which were followed by the final Panel meeting on 22 and 23 September 2011. The details of the evaluation are provided in section below.

4.           Progress achieved by the ARTEMIS JU

4.1.        Introduction to the ARTEMIS JU

Growing out of the ARTEMIS European Technology Platform (ETP), the ARTEMIS Joint Undertaking (hereinafter referred to as "ARTEMIS JU") was established by Council Regulation (EC) 74/2008 of 20 December 2007 as a public-private partnership between the European Commission, the participating Member and Associated States (by now 23 countries)[52], and ARTEMIS-IA[53], a non-profit industrial association of R&D actors in the field of embedded computer systems.

The ARTEMIS JU has been set up for a period up to 31 December 2017 with the main objective to tackle the research and structural challenges in embedded systems faced by the industrial sector. The goal is to define and implement a Research Agenda for Embedded Computing Systems. ARTEMIS JU aims to help European industry consolidate and reinforce its world leadership in embedded computing technologies.

4.1.1.     Budget

The maximum EU contribution to the ARTEMIS Joint Undertaking is set to € 420 million paid from the appropriations in the general budget of the European Union allocated to the theme "Information and Communication Technologies" of the Specific Programme "Cooperation" under the FP7. The research activities of the entity are supported also through financial contributions from the ARTEMIS Member States amounting to at least 1.8 times the EU contribution (€ 756 million) and through in-kind contributions by research and development organisations participating in projects, which at least match the contribution of the public authorities.

4.1.2.     Governing structure

The ARTEMIS Joint Undertaking is managed by an Executive Director. Its governance structure comprises a Governing Board, a Public Authorities Board (PAB) and an Industry and Research Committee (IRC).

- The Governing Board has overall responsibility for the operations of the ARTEMIS Joint Undertaking. Its role is to oversee the implementation of the JU. It consists of representatives from Industry (ARTEMISIA) and Public Authorities including the Commission and Member States. Voting rights are split equally: 50% for Industry and 50% for public authorities.

- The Industry and Research Committee represents the interests of industry and the research community through Artemisia, the Artemis Industrial Association. It consists of members appointed by ARTEMISIA. Its role is to draft the Multi-Annual Strategic Plan based on the Research Agenda. In addition, it drafts an Annual Work Programme for the activities of the JU including calls for research proposals.

- The Public Authorities Board (PAB) consists of representatives of the ARTEMIS Member States and the European Commission. It discusses and approves the Annual Work Programme. It is also responsible for the decisions on the scope and budget of the calls for proposals, launch of the calls, selection of proposals and allocation of public funds for selected proposals. A third of the voting rights are assigned to the Commission and the remaining two thirds are allocated to Member States.

- The Executive Director is the chief executive of the Joint Undertaking whose role is to ensure its day-to-day management. He is appointed by the Governing Board, for a period of three years and is supported by a secretariat - the ARTEMIS-JU Office - which handles the operational aspects of the JU.

4.2.        Outline of the main activities and achievements in 2011

After its establishment, ARTEMIS gradually developed operational capacity. It was granted administrative and operational autonomy from the Commission on 26 October 2009 and 2011 was the second full year of independent functioning of the Joint Undertaking. Together with the other JUs, the JU has its premises in the White Atrium building in Brussels since January 2011.

4.2.1.     Key milestones

- Launch of the ARTEMIS fourth call for proposals;

- Grant agreements signature and kick-off of the selected proposals in the 2010 call;

- Monitoring and review of the ongoing 2008 and 2009 calls for proposals;

- Definition of an IAS Strategic Audit Plan 2012-2014;

4.2.2.     Organisation of the team in ARTEMIS JU

In 2011, ARTEMIS JU staff increased from 11 employees to 13, 8 Temporary agents and 5 Contract agents (out of 7 authorised by budget 2011).

4.2.3.     Progress in the implementation of the Strategic Research Agenda

ARTEMIS European Technology Platform (ETP) issued its first Strategic Research Agenda in 2006 to set the scene on R&D and innovation on Embedded Systems in Europe and recommended that a Joint Undertaking should be established in order to create an extra initiative in Europe to achieve the goals set out in the SRA 2006.

Since 2006 new technical options and challenges have occurred and it was time to update the agenda in accordance with the new challenges. The revised SRA is to give a clear perspective of what is needed in Europe in the next decade from all R&D and innovation actors, to make Europe the leader in Embedded Systems. The ARTEMIS Industry Association presented the updated SRA 2011 in Brussels on 18 May 2011.

4.2.4.     Governance - Major decisions taken by the Governing Board and other JU bodies

The running of the Governing Board and the PAB run smoothly in 2011. The Governing Board held 3 meetings in 2011 and the PAB met twice. Besides, there were four written procedures.

The main decisions taken by the Governing Board during the year were related to the following topics:

- Ex-post Audit Strategies;

- Annual Implementation Plan and Budget Plan 2012;

- Multi-Annual Strategic Plan and Research Agenda 2012-2014;

- Decision allowing the JU to hire seconded national experts

- Annual Accounts and Annual Activity Report for the year 2010;

- Multi-Annual Staff Policy Plan 2011-2013;

- Adoption of the JU's Annual Implementation Plan 2010 and Annual Budget Plan 2011.

4.2.5.     Outcome of the first interim evaluation[54]

In accordance with Article 11.2 the Commission had to carry out an interim evaluation of the ARTEMIS and ENIAC JU with the assistance of independent experts by the end of 2010. A panel of 8 independent experts was invited by the Commission to simultaneously evaluate both ARTEMIS and ENIAC JUs as they were set up using an identical design.

Their work started in May 2010 and the final report by the evaluation panel[55] was issued on 30 July 2010, followed by a communication by the Commission[56], published on 16 December 2010. The communication highlighted the findings and recommendations of the experts, formulated the Commission response and set out follow-up measures.

The objective of the first interim evaluation was to assess ARTEMIS and ENIAC, with respect to their:

· Relevance: The continuing validity of the assumptions set at the start/planning phase of the JTIs;

· Effectiveness: The progress towards meeting the objectives set;

· Efficiency: The extent to which the JTIs have been managed and operated efficiently; and

· Research Quality: The extent to which the JTIs sponsor world-class research that helps propel Europe to a leadership position globally.

The evaluation panel recognised the value of a tripartite structure for JTIs in the fields of embedded computing systems and nanoelectronics, pooling resources from industry, the EU and Member States to leverage a strategic vision for Europe. The panel affirmed the importance of continuing the coordination at European level of research and technology in these fields and called for a refocusing, involving all stakeholders, on evolving and implementing their strategic research agendas.

The panel also highlighted some difficulties to tackle to go forward:

· the overall investments from Member States, industry and the EU into research and technology development in the JTIs areas have not increased as much as expected;

· the funding commitment by member States is significantly below that which was expected, jeopardising the JTIs’ ability to establish a critical mass of activity and severely constraining the construction of appropriate portfolios of projects;

· the process for selection of projects gives insufficient consideration to the JTIs’ European strategic objectives;

· the JTIs have not so far implemented activities specifically targeted at improving the innovation environment in Europe; and

· certain features of the Council Regulations that govern ARTEMIS and ENIAC, as well as financial regulations and other administrative requirements, inhibit rather than enable the realisation of their aims.

The evaluation panel made a set of 18 recommendations that would benefit to the improvement of the JTIs efficiency. Those recommendations concern all stakeholders: the Commission, the Member States, the industrial associations and the JU. An appropriate follow-up will be part of the 2nd interim evaluation scheduled to be completed by the end of 2013.

4.2.6.     Main communication activities

· Key events in 2011

An important and key activity is the promotion of the ARTEMIS Call 2011 that was launched on 1 March 2011. In December 2010, ARTEMIS Industry Association gave the start signal with the ARTEMIS Brokerage Event.

Following this event, National ARTEMIS and Brokerage events were organized by the respective national platforms in cooperation with ARTEMIS Programme Officers:

- ARTEMIS Networking event in Vienna -  organized by the ARTEMIS Austria Platform (1 February 2011);

- ARTEMIS Networking Event in London -  organized by the Electronics Knowledge Centre (11 February 2011);

- ARTEMIS Networking event for Call 2011 in Paris - organized by UBI France (10 March 2011);

- National ARTEMIS/ENIAC event for Call 2011 in Prague - co-organized by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports, OKO ICT Branch Contact Organization and Technology centre (21 March 2011);

- National ARTEMIS information event in Madrid -  co-organized by the Ministry de Industria, Turismo, y  Comercio, CDTI, PROMETEO (23 March 2011);

- Support of National events in Sweden and Finland through material and mailing to Brokerage participants via ARTEMIS Industry Association.

On 14 June 2011 ARTEMIS JU took part in the ARTEMISIA Summer Camp – a high-level strategic meeting defining the R&D agenda in embedded systems in Europe.

After the summer break, the ARTEMIS Technology Conference 2011 took place from 12 to 13 September 2011 in Bologna. The preparations started in the previous months with a registration website, registration, badges and logistics – PR material was shipped to the venue. The Executive Director delivered the keynote speech at the Conference. The Conference itself was perceived as successful. The event was announced in the ARTEMIS Magazine 10 and through e-mailings to the relevant target group in the database of the Industry Association. This public, open event, organised by the ARTEMIS-JU Call 2008 SOFIA project, was hosted and co-organised by the University of Bologna and Indra Sistemas S.A. The conference gave three running 2008 & 2009 Call projects - SOFIA, SMARCOS & CHIRON, the valuable chance to present their results to an international audience of colleagues in the same field, to get critical feedback on the presented ideas and to network with people who share similar interests. The event was attended by 65 people from 6 European countries. A student Corner was included in the demo area. This was a fruitful event with attendees from Austria, Belgium, Finland, Italy, Spain and The Netherlands, ensuring further discussion outside the conference and new and further multi-project collaboration.

On 27 September 2011, the Conference on Nanoelectronics and Embedded Systems for Electric Mobility “Auto.E-Motion”, took place in Graz, Austria. The conference focused on the nanoelectronics and embedded systems technologies for electric mobility applications and their impact on the future of electric and hybrid electric vehicles. The ARTEMIS projects POLLUX and Internet of Energy (IoE) organized this conference, together with their ENIAC counterpart. ARTEMIS Magazine gave visibility to this event in publication 11.

One of the significant communication activities throughout the year was the participation of ARTEMIS at the Innovation in action event of the 5 Joint Technology Initiatives in Brussels on 4-6 October 2011. This event was the first joint event of the 5 JTIs and took place in the venue of the EP. It included a poster and stand exhibition surrounded by conference sessions. The theme of this joint JTI event was ‘Innovation in Action’ and featured an overview of the key achievements of all five JTIs, as well as presentations by high-level policy makers from the European Parliament and Commission.  It was hosted by MEP Maria Da Graça Carvalho, with parallel “Thematic Sessions” proposed by each JU. As for ARTEMIS one, it was sponsored by MEP Lambert Van Nistelrooij. The event was felt to be very successful in Brussels, although results are expected on a long term perspective. Meanwhile ARTEMIS has got visibility, for example, in the e-journal Science and Business and on the Portugese national television. A report on the event was published in the ARTEMIS Magazine 11.

The peak of the events was the ARTEMIS-ITEA2 Co-Summit 2011 – Helsinki, which took place on 25 and 26 October 2011. This annual event, with ARTEMIS presentations and an exhibition space for 34 presently running projects, is organised together with ITEA 2. It is by far the biggest event to organise for ARTEMIS, as an important showcase of the ARTEMIS projects to the ARTEMIS community and the public authorities. As done  in 2010, a "student day" was also organised this year, this time in cooperation with TEKES. Extra ARTEMIS actions were involved such as the SME-ARCADIA/SYSMODEL round table meeting. The project eSONIA was granted the ARTEMIS prize for best exhibition stand, where the main criterion is the clarity of the presentation of the work being done and the results achieved. The set-up of the ARTEMIS exhibition appeared to be very successful and should continue during next summits.

Publications

- During the year, ARTEMIS published also several information brochures on the ongoing and the future calls for proposals, and three numbers of the quarterly ARTEMIS Magazine.

- Interaction with the press occurred mainly via press releases and arranged interviews on different topics – briefings on the Co-Summit and on the ARTEMIS Brokerage event, an informative release on the submitted proposals in the 2011 call, etc.

Apart from the ARTEMIS magazine that contains interviews to key people in the embedded systems area, the following events were reported:

January to June 2011:

Besides, the web site (http://www.artemis-ju.eu) has been an important tool for the ARTEMIS JU for publishing its objectives and announcements on the calls, but also for providing up-to-date information to the stakeholders.  The Undertaking also improved it visual identity, by re-designing its logo.

4.3.        Call implementation

Calls for proposals

The ARTEMIS JU supports R&D activities through open and competitive calls for proposals published on a yearly basis, to attract the best European research ideas and capacities in the field of embedded computing systems. The ARTEMIS JU manages and coordinates research activities through a 7-year, € 2.5 billion research programme on embedded computing systems. The programme is open to organisations in the EU Member States and Associated Countries. Selected projects are co-financed by the Joint Undertaking and the Member States that have joined ARTEMIS. The ARTEMIS JU implements significant parts of the ARTEMIS–ETP Strategic Research Agenda co-funded by industry, research organisations, Member States and the Commission's own ICT programme.

ARTEMIS applies a two-stage procedure: proposers must first submit Project Outlines (POs), followed by the submission of Full Project Proposals (FPPs). The submission of an eligible PO is mandatory for the submission of a FPP. Projects are selected for funding based on the quality of this document. The evaluation criteria and sub-criteria, including weights and thresholds, and the selection and award criteria are set out in the ARTEMIS Annual Work Programme 2011. They are introduced in the next paragraphs:

4.3.1.     Evaluation of Project Outline

The Project Outline will be assessed on the basis of the following criteria:

1. Relevance to the topic(s) of the work programme in a given call and to the objectives of a call.

2. Relevance and contribution to the overall ARTEMIS targets.

3. Soundness of the concept.

4. Clarity and quality of the objectives and expected results.

5. Contribution, at the European and/or international level, to the expected impacts listed in the Work-programme under the relevant sub-programme.

6. Degree of application-innovation in the context of the sub-programmes addressed.

7. Expected market impact of the results for the industrial partners.

8. Quality of the consortium as a whole including complementarities, balance and involvement of SMEs.

4.3.2.     Evaluation of Full Project Proposal

The evaluation criteria against which full project proposals will be judged are set out in the document ARTEMISPAB-4-08: "ARTEMIS Joint Undertaking selection and evaluation procedures related to Calls for proposals". They are listed in the table below:

|| Total score: || /60 || 40/60

Proposals submitted to ARTEMIS JU calls undergo a technical evaluation and selections process carried out with the assistance of independent experts. This process ensures that allocation of the ARTEMIS Joint Undertaking's public funding follows the principles of equal treatment, excellence and competition.

Funding for ARTEMIS projects follows a unique tripartite model. Much of the funding is provided to the partners by their own government or regional agency, with whom a grant agreement is set up. The ARTEMIS Joint Undertaking also provides funding directly to the partners to the amount of 16.7% of their eligible costs. This funding model has been working well in the first years of the Joint Undertaking, but with certain limitations – mainly due to the strongly reduced level of commitments from the Member States in the context of the economic and financial crisis.

The ARTEMIS JU managed its fourth call for proposals in 2011 as planned. It was launched on 1 March 2011 and the negotiations have started on 8 December 2011. Since the outcome of the negotiations was planned for January 2012, the definitive list of grant agreements signed under this call will be presented next year.

The results from projects following the 2011 call were expected to demonstrate their contribution to the ARTEMIS JU high-level objectives set out below. ARTEMIS set an over-arching objective to close the design productivity gap between potential and capability, as a necessary pre-requisite to advancing Europe's competitive position on the world market:

- Reduce the cost of the system design from 2005 levels by 15% by 2013;

- Achieve 15% reduction in development cycles, especially in sectors requiring qualification or certification – by 2013;

- Manage a complexity increase of 25% with 10% effort reduction by 2013;

- Reduce the effort and time required for re-validation and recertification after change by 15% by 2013;

- Achieve cross-sectoral reusability of embedded systems devices developed using the ARTEMIS JU results.

The ARTEMIS call for proposals 2011 had to address the design, development and deployment of ubiquitous, interoperable and cost-effective, powerful, safe and secure electronics and software systems. It should deliver on three industrial priorities: i) Reference designs and architectures, ii) Seamless connectivity and middleware, and iii) Design methods and tools.

In addition to the industrial priorities, ARTEMIS JU proposals had to fit into one of the 8 specific ARTEMIS Sub-Programme (ASP) priorities for 2011, which were determined in the ARTEMIS Annual Work Programme for 2011 as follows:

- ASP1. Methods and processes for safety-relevant embedded systems;

- ASP2. Embedded Systems for Healthcare systems;

- ASP3. Embedded Systems for Smart environments;

- ASP4. Manufacturing and production automation;

- ASP5. Computing platforms for embedded systems;

- ASP6. ES for Security and Critical Infrastructures Protection;

- ASP7. Embedded technology for sustainable urban life;

- ASP8. Human-centred design of embedded systems.

The total budget for the call included an indicative ARTEMIS JU contribution of € 25.69 million and contributions from the Member States estimated at € 46.725 million. The exact commitment by Member State is shown in the table below:

4.4.2.     Analysis of proposals submitted

The PO phase yielded 41 proposals, all satisfying the eligibility criteria. They were reviewed and feedback was given to the applicants. For the FPP phase, 27 proposals were received by 1 September 2011 and the evaluations were completed in October 2011.

4.4.2.1.  Stage 1 – Project Outlines

In total, 41 eligible POs have been submitted for evaluation. The total individual participations are presented in the figure below. The total number of participants is 667 (including 656 participants from ARTEMIS member states).

Participation by Partner Type (Large Enterprise – LE, SME or Public research organisation – PRO) was hampered at this stage by the necessity to use unverified, self-declaration of the partner type as submitted. The data for the proposals eligible for evaluation of the PO phase are detailed in the following chart:

With regard to geographical distribution of the POs, 29 countries took part in the first stage of the call. The participation in each of the ARTEMIS Member States (AMS) can be found in the table below. In addition, participations were proposed from Poland[57], Russia, Turkey and the USA. The Total Costs of these non-ARTEMIS Member State partners was roughly €4.9 million.

The total costs proposed are €454.4 M, with a requested National funding of €157.4 M requested, which gives a general over-subscription of 3,73 times over the available National commitments of €42.2 M. This oversubscription is in line with the general expectation. In terms of EFTA contribution, it represented € 1,023,400.00 for the operational credits allocated to the call 2011[58].

As a comparison between Call 2011 and Call 2010, the major reduction in the Member States' commitments to this call – a drop of 30% - has resulted in an even more severe drop in the number of POs submitted. However, the equivalent drop in number of participations and the corresponding total costs indicates that the community has responded by applying greater focus on the scale of their activity, in order to improve their chance of selection and funding. This is borne out by comparing the average size of the projects in the POs: the average size (total cost) of a PO has increased by 13% compared to 2010, with the budget per participation remaining roughly constant.

As a tool to help the participating ARTEMIS Member States in preparing their budget allocations, and also to provide valuable feedback for monitoring the programme, the assessors have been requested to evaluate the relative maturity of each project outline, classifying them on a scale of 1 ("very mature") to 4 ("below average"): MI=3 is regarded as "average" while MI=2 is "strong"). This Maturity Index (MI) information was given only to the PAB members, and not distributed to the proposers or otherwise outside the JU. The distribution of the MI for all 41 proposals is shown below. The distribution shows a distinct peak at MI=3, which is perfectly normal (MI=3 is the “average, to be expected” value).

The experts were also asked to assess the participation of SME in the proposals, via a SME index, with the following results. The ARTEMIS programme has no difficulty in attracting SMEs with useful contributions. Participants are well aware that one of the evaluation criteria is to address SME engagement (only 6 out of 41 proposals (around15%) are not addressing the SME engagement at all). The distribution of MI vs. SME index is homogenous, with a slight bias towards MI=4 of the weaker SME-engagement proposals (SME index=C).

4.4.2.2.  Stage 2 – Full Project Proposals

Out of the 41 POs, 27 FPPs were successfully submitted by the deadline. As anticipated, all of the “MI=1” proposals from the PO phase have been submitted and 3 of the “MI=4” proposals have been submitted.

In terms of geographical distribution, a total of 22 countries took part at the second stage of the call:

- The submitted proposals have partners from 18 ARTEMIS Member States (AMS), though there is no participation in four AMS (CY, EL, IE, RO). Besides, there are 2 participations in AMS who had not committed a budget (HU, PT). This indicates a strong will to participate in those countries.

- In addition to participations in ARTEMIS Member States (which includes Norway – an Associated State of the FP7), there are 2 participations in Associated States (TR and PL, who is a candidate AMS).

- There are two non-EU partners in the proposals (RU – St Petersburg University, who have long expressed interest in collaboration with ARTEMIS projects and General Motors in the USA).

The Total Requested costs in the proposals is €370.245 M, with a request of €127.438 M funding from the National budgets. The Over-Subscription Rate (OSR) on National Budgets is therefore 2,79.

The following charts, tables and explanations give an overview of the participation in the 2011 Call in terms of its contribution to the programme.

- About Maturity index of the PO, as found in the FPP submitted: the table shows that feedback to the participants on the estimated Maturity index of their project may have resulted in a reduced number of “average” and “weak” proposals (MI=3 and 4 respectively) that are re-submitted as FPPs.

- The total requested cost per Member State and per partner type are detailed in the following table.

- Participation in the second stage of the ARTEMIS 2011 call per partner type is represented here below:

Requested national funding during the second stage of the ARTEMIS 2011 call. All proposals before evaluation are presented in the table below.

4.4.3.     Evaluation procedure

27 Full Project Proposals submitted for the Call 2011 were evaluated. All satisfied the eligibility criteria for FPP. The evaluation was conducted according to the rules described in the ARTEMIS Joint Undertaking selection and evaluation procedures related to calls for proposals. The 27 FPPs were submitted to a group of 49 independent experts as per the defined remote evaluation procedures.

The resulting individual evaluation reports were consolidated into Evaluation Summary Reports (ESR) and an ordered list was established through a panel meeting, held in Brussels from 3 to 7 of October 2011.The ESRs were each reviewed by the Executive Director, who would also ensure consistency of the quality of the ESR and more generally acted as a fine-grained filter quality control. The consistency of the results so achieved gives a very high level of confidence in the quality of the technical selection process. 

Out of the 27 Full Project Proposals, 16 proposals were evaluated above threshold (40 points minimum on a maximum of 60) and 11 proposals below threshold.

4.4.4.     Evaluation results

Further to the evaluation, the ranking list has been presented to the PAB for discussion during the meeting of 25 October 2011. A selection decision was taken the same day, following eligibility checks performed by the national authorities. Mandate for negotiation was given to the Executive Director, for eight proposals and a ninth project was put on a reserve list. The remaining 7 projects were deemed not feasible financially.

Overall, the Public Authorities Board allocated €63.4 million of public funds to 8 projects with a total eligible cost of €133.2 million and €22.2 million of Union funding.

Within this group of projects under negotiation, the average number of partners is 24.6, and the average number of countries in each is 7.63 (10 maximum, 5 minimum).

Regarding the partners per project:

· Increasing number of countries involved in a project (maximum is 10, minimum -4, Average – 7.3).  The following figure shows the number of countries per project.

· Medium to large initiatives with number of partners ranging between 17 and 31. The following figure show the partner types per project, in the 8 successful projects.

The figure below presents the relative split of partner type based on the number of participants. It can be observed that all projects invited for negotiations have a good balance among SMEs (31%), LEs and academic institutions.

Regarding costs, to be noted: a balanced distribution of the costs among medium and large size projects (having between 10% and 19% of the total costs each) with only one project that could be considered as relatively small (5%) in costs, but not as potential impact.

General overview of the full process (from submission to selection for funding) is summed up in the table below.

The SCALOPES project held its final review in Brussels on 29 March 2011. This is the first ARTEMIS project that is ending. It started in January 2009 with duration of 2 years (+3 months extension) with participation of 36 partners from 11 countries.

Despite its short duration and many administrative difficulties, the project delivered the results to prove that it meets the initial goals (reduced power consumption combined with increased performance for a variety of applications). The technological innovations comprise of horizontally structured multi-domain solutions, platforms for real-time data processing and methods for high productivity software development. A final report is available. During the review there were several impressive demonstrations that illustrated these achievements.

In summary, the project enables an industrially sustainable path for the evolution of low-power, multi-core computing platforms for application domains with strategic value for European competitiveness.

Two more projects, CAMMI and pSHIELD ended in December 2011. Information on their respective reviews is provided in the project review, in annex 18. The innovative output of these projects was the following:

The Camni project provided innovative solutions for intelligent multi-modal interactive systems:

- Cognitive Monitor: To monitor human cognitive state through operator and performance data acquisition and data processing, in order to optimize MMI interactions through workload mitigation methods.

- Workload Mitigator: To assess and manage the measured cognitive state in order to understand any mismatch between the operator's current workload and the operational situation and to select the correct automatic MMI adaptation strategy.

- Adaptive MMI: Implementation of workload-related adaptive strategies in order to trigger levels of automation assistance in multiple task and critical situations.

The pSHIELD is a pilot project aimed at addressing Security, Privacy and Dependability (SPD) in the context of Embedded Systems (ESs) as "built in" rather than as "add-on" functionalities, proposing and perceiving with this strategy the first step toward SPD certification for future ES. The leading concept is to demonstrate composability of SPD technologies.

Starting from current SPD solutions in ESs, the project developed new technologies and consolidated the available ones in a solid basement basis that would become the reference milestone for a new generation of "SPD-ready" ESs. SHIELD would approach SPD at 4 different levels (node, network, middleware and overlay). For each level, the state of the art in SPD of single technologies and solutions will be improved and integrated (hardware and communication technologies, cryptography, middleware, smart SPD applications, etc.).

The SPD technologies will be enhanced with composable functionality, in order to fit in the SHIELD architectural framework. The composability of SHIELD architectural framework would have great impact on the system design costs and time to market of new SPD solutions in ESs. At the same time, the integrated use of SPD metrics in the SHIELD framework would have impact on the development cycles of SPD in ESs because the qualification, (re-) certification and (re-) validation process of a SHIELD framework instance would be faster, easier and widely accepted.
