1. Introduction

The present Commission Staff Working Document accompanies the Report from the Commission to the European Parliament and to the Council on the progress achieved by the Joint Technology Initiatives Joint Undertakings in 2010. In compliance with Article 11 (1) of each Council Regulation establishing the Joint Technology Initiatives Joint Undertakings (hereinafter referred to as "JTI JUs") it shall provide details on the implementation of their research activities, i.e. number of proposals submitted, number of proposals selected for funding, type of participants, including SMEs, and country statistics. The document shall also "include assessment results of the Technology Evaluator referred to in Article 8(1) of the Statutes [of the Clean Sky JU], as appropriate" pursuant to Article 11(1) of Council Regulation (EC) 71/2008 setting up the Clean Sky Joint Undertaking.

The data contained in this document is gathered through a specifically designed template, filled in by each JTI JU under the guidance of the European Commission. 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 2010 in a structured and uniform way: 1) About the JTI JU, 2) Main activities in 2010, and 3) Calls for proposals.

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 2010, both from operational and administrative perspective. The submission and evaluation process of the individual JTI JUs used in the calls is also schematically explained.

The last sub-section is dedicated to the calls for proposals launched by the Joint Undertakings in 2010. In case the entity has launched multiple calls during the year, each call is described in a separate sub-section. The call's presentation starts with a brief summary listing the call topics, eligible beneficiaries, timeline and indicative budget. This is 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.

The evaluation procedure is also described, giving information on the evaluation criteria, scoring and weighting of the proposals, composition of the evaluation committees and the evaluation steps that have been followed. 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. The sub-section ends with a table giving information on the grant agreements signed in the respective call.

Among the five JTI JUs, only the presentation of the Clean Sky's calls for proposals follows a slightly different structure to avoid repeating of information, because the Joint Undertaking publishes several calls per year following the same steps for submission and evaluation of proposals.

2. Progress achieved by the Clean Sky JU

2.1. About the CS 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] and 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 of them 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, 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, the 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.

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 of € 800 million is paid from the budget appropriation allocated to theme "Transport" of the Specific Programme "Cooperation" under the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) of the European Union (2007-2013)[5].

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.

2.2. Main activities of the CS JU in 2010

After its establishment, Clean Sky gradually developed an operational capacity, and on 16 November 2009 has been granted administrative and operational autonomy from the European Commission[6]. Thus, 2010 was the first full year of independent functioning of the Joint Undertaking.

Key milestones

· Publication and evaluation of the five CS JU's calls for proposals in 2010 as planned;

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

· Internal processes definition and mapping;

· Set-up of a Scientific and Technological Advisory Board in the Clean Sky's governance structure;

· Establishment of Internal Audit Plan and Ex-Post Audit Strategy;

· Adoption of a Communication and Dissemination Strategy.

In 2010 the CS JU achieved progress in both increasing its operational capacity and in running the Clean Sky operations. 10 additional staff members were recruited, growing to 20 by the end of the year. An Internal Auditor was appointed to establish the internal control function and, in particular, to deal with the risk management activities. A first internal audit started in November 2010, still in progress at the turn of the year. Also, the main settings of the CS JU were established: a Quality Manual, a Manual of Financial Procedures, and a Management Manual. A Development Plan was elaborated and had to be submitted for adoption by the Governing Board in 2011.

In addition, in December 2010 Clean Sky finalised the procurement procedure on its new permanent premises. The call for tender has been organised jointly with the other four JUs, which were temporarily housed at the Covent Garden building in Brussels, and in close collaboration with the European Commission. The CS JU moved successfully to the White Atrium building in Brussels in January 2011.

As aircraft fuel economy is influenced by flight trajectory management strategy, Clean Sky maintained close links with the SESAR Joint Undertaking, which investigates air traffic management technologies in line with the Single European Sky initiative.

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 2010, they had to be reviewed and detailed, paying particular attention to the first assessment cycle and to the needs of the trade-off studies[7]. Among the main tasks for the year was to create a TE system mock-up based on the GRC (helicopter) case study. 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.

Governance

The CS JU Governing Board held four meetings in 2010.

On its meeting of 18 March 2010 the Governing Board re-elected for a second and last mandate its chair and vice-chair, followed by election of new chair and vice-chair for 2011 on its next meetings on 14 October and 17 December. The Governing Board approved inter alia the CS JU General Strategy, the CS JU Communication and Dissemination Strategy, modifications to the model grant agreements, the CS JU Staff Policy Plan 2011-2013, the CS JU Annual Implementation Plan 2010, etc.

The Steering Committees responsible for technical decisions taken within each ITD and the TE met regularly in the course of 2010.

The Scientific and Technological Advisory Board (STAB) was set up in June 2010 as an advisory body to the CS JU. It was composed of 11 high-level scientists and engineers, all independent from the Clean Sky's stakeholders. The first meetings of the Board took place in July and November. They were dedicated on the general presentation of the Clean Sky JU and on some specific issues. The first item which the STAB started work on was the completion of the Joint Undertaking's Development Plan.

On 18 June 2010, the CS JU's stakeholders gathered for the first General Forum. It was designed to take place at least once a year with the purpose to provide information to the participants in the initiative about its activities and the progress of the Clean Sky JU, and to get recommendations from them on managerial and operational items. This event gathered more than 300 representatives from the aviation industry, the scientific and research community, national public authorities, and non-governmental organisations.

Communication activities

Among the considerable achievements during the year was the adoption of a Communication and Dissemination Strategy by the Clean Sky's Governing Board in June 2010. The activities undertaken during the year were in compliance with the strategy. A CS communication network was settled to gather all its members on communication issues. The first meeting took place on 21 October 2010.

In order to inform widely potential candidates about its calls for proposals, Clean Sky held a number of information sessions in Madrid, Vienna, Bologna, Turin, The Hague and London. On 18 June 2010 the Joint Undertaking organised a public conference "The aviation industry goes green" within the framework of the first General Forum on the latest developments of the Clean Sky programme. An exhibition featuring the activities of the six ITDs and the TE was accessible throughout the day.

Furthermore, the Clean Sky initiative was promoted through different external industrial events – aerospace trade shows, fairs and exhibitions, such as the ILA Berlin Air Show in Germany, "Flyg med Framtid" in Stockholm (Sweden), the International Council of the Aeronautical Sciences (ICAS) Conference in Nice (France), the Farnborough International Airshow in the UK, Helitech in Portugal, the AeroWeek in Brussels (Belgium), the AeroSpace and Defence Industries Association of Europe (ASD) Convention in Montreux (Switzerland), the Imperial College's Green Aviation Forum in London (UK).

In 2010, Clean Sky changed its visual identity. A tagline "Innovating together, flying greener" was adopted and the logo was simplified. Promotional materials such as roll-ups, press kits, ITD fact sheets were produced. Following a call for tender, the Clean Sky's website (http://www.cleansky.eu) was renewed and has been regularly updated with up-to-date information on calls for proposals and latest news. A quarterly newsletter called "Skyline" has been launched.

2.3. Calls for proposals

2.3.1. Submission and evaluation process

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, and 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. The commitments amounted to € 17 million in 2008, € 70.6 million in 2009 and € 75.7 million in 2010. No new named beneficiaries joined the CS JU in 2010.

Grant agreements with partners

According to Article 13 (2) (b) of the same regulation, 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.

The call topics are proposed by each ITD Steering Committee and reviewed by the CS JU Executive Office and the European Commission. The calls are broadly published by all suitable channels, including on 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. After a proposal is submitted, eligibility check and independent evaluations took place.

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: 1) Technical excellence, 2) Innovative character, 3) Compliance with the call for proposals specification and timetable (relevance), 4) Adequacy and quality of respondent's resources, management and implementation capabilities and track record, 5) Appropriateness and efficient allocation of the resources to be committed (budget, staff, equipment), and 6) Contribution to European competitiveness.

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.

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 collaborative research 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.

2.3.2. Calls launched in 2009 and 2010

Since its establishment and by the end of 2010, Clean Sky launched a total of seven calls for proposals – two in 2009 and five in 2010. As a result, 73 projects are currently underway working towards the development of environmental technologies with impact on all flying segments of commercial aviation.

Clean Sky published its first call for proposals on 15 June 2009. It attracted 216 proposals requesting a total contribution of € 59 million. 45% of the applicants declared an SME status. After the evaluation and negotiation processes, 57 grant agreements have been signed. The Commission's Annual Report on the progress achieved by the JTI JUs in 2009 provides detailed information on that call.

The second call for proposals was open from 25 November 2009 till 23 February 2010. Since the submission and evaluation of the proposals took place in 2010, the results of the call were not included in the Commission's Annual Report on the progress achieved by the JTI JUs in 2009 and will be reviewed in the present Commission Staff Working Paper.

In 2010, the CS JU launched 5 calls which covered 150 topics, resulting in a total of 325 partners from 22 countries selected after call 6. The present document shall provide detailed information on four of those five calls (calls 3 to 6). Since the last for the year call for proposals (call 7) was launched on 24 September 2010 and the evaluation of the received proposals took place in January 2011, the Commission shall present the results of the call in its next year's report.

The table below gives an overview of the calls for proposals launched by the Clean Sky JU in 2009/2010 that will be reviewed in the present document:

Table 1. Overview of the CS JU calls for proposals launched in 2010

The average response to the CS JU calls in 2010 was about 2.5 proposals per topic, i.e. more than 350 proposals in total. The average failure rate of the topics was 15%, due either to a lack of proposals submitted in a certain topic, or to negative evaluation results of the proposals in a topic.

With respect to the first two calls in 2009, when the call fiches contained incorrect indicative budget under some topics, a significant improvement has occurred in 2010 on the eligibility aspects of proposals. After call 3 – the first call of 2010 – less than 1-2 proposals per call were declared ineligible due to a requested funding above the threshold defined in the call fiches.

Still limited to call 6 (SP1-JTI-CS-2010-04), but referring to all calls launched by the Clean Sky JU (including results from the two calls launched in 2009), Figure 1 provides statistics per country in terms of presence in winning proposals:

For all calls for proposals (up to call 6), 42% of the winners selected for funding by the Clean Sky JU were SMEs. The figure below shows the presence of SMEs among the winning entities; it provides in particular the number of SMEs in winning consortia per ITD.

Figure 2. CS JU – calls 1 to 6 (2009 and 2010). Number of winning SMEs

The calls for proposals process led to an increased number of grant agreements to be negotiated in 2010. In total, 81 GAPs were processed at the total amount of € 18.5 million. Of this, € 11 million were paid for pre-financing of GAPs.

The negotiation of the projects selected for funding in the third and fourth call for proposals (SP1-JTI-CS-2010-01 and SP1-JTI-CS-2010-02) started before summer 2010 and by the time of drafting the report was still in progress, whereas the negotiations of the projects in call 5 (SP1-JTI-CS-2010-03) were launched at the end of the year. The last two calls launched by Clean Sky in 2010 were expected to be negotiated in 2011.

Table 2. CS JU call 2 (SP1-JTI-CS-2009-02). Topics overview

The full call process has been managed by the autonomous Clean Sky JU, according to the same principles of excellence, transparency, fairness and impartiality, confidentiality, efficiency, speed and ethical considerations applied by the European Commission in the first call.

The timing for the call is given on Figure 3 below:

Figure 3. Timeline of the CS JU call 2 (SP1-JTI-CS-2009-02)

The total budget for the second call included initially a financial contribution from the EU to the Clean Sky JU of a maximum of € 16 million. This call was entirely financed from the 2009 budget. The final published value was for a total scope of work of € 11,170,000 with a maximum EU funding of € 8,377,500 (50-75% of the topic maximum budget indicated).

The difference between the originally forecasted value and the finally allocated amount (equal to € 16 million) was due to the fact that the calls formed an integral part of the overall work programme of Clean Sky, and were launched to bring in skills and contributions that needed to harmonise with the activities of the named beneficiaries. Some of the originally foreseen topics were finally not launched, due to reasons of relevance or quality of the topic descriptions. The unspent budget remained to be re-allocated to other topics (including re-launches of unanswered ones), keeping in mind that the Clean Sky JU has the obligation to allocate at least € 200 million via calls for proposals across its entire duration.

2.4.2. Analysis of proposals submitted

The call was published on 25 November 2009 and applicants were invited to submit their proposals by 23 February 2010. In total, 60 proposals were submitted in response to the 24 open topics addressed by the present call, involving applicants from 16 countries. 2 were found to be ineligible and the remaining 58 eligible proposals were evaluated by 74 independent experts.

2.4.3. Evaluation results

The on-site evaluation of the proposals took place in Brussels between 22 and 26 March 2010 following the methodology described in Section 2.3.1. It was preceded by individual remote evaluations. Out of the 58 eligible proposals, 35 passed the thresholds, while 23 failed one or more thresholds.

In terms of covered technological areas, all 5 topics in Eco-Design and 3 in GRA were successful. On the contrary, 2 out of 8 of the GRC topics failed (GRC-01-003 and GRC-02-003), because in both cases the two proposals received were evaluated below threshold. In SAGE, topic SGE-05-009 failed because the only proposal submitted was also assessed below threshold. In SGO, topic SGO-04-001 failed due to the fact that it did not attract any proposals in its domain.

Thus, after the evaluation, 20 projects could be finalised covering 20 of the originally published 24 topics. To sum up, the 4 topics remaining vacant were the following:

· ITD: Green Rotorcraft; Area-01: Innovative rotor blades; Topic: Actuation mechanism development and supply for 2D wind tunnel and specimen bench testing;

· ITD: Green Rotorcraft; Area-02: Reduced drag of rotorcraft; Topic: Contribution to optimisation of heavy helicopter engine installation design;

· ITD: Sustainable and Green Engines; Area-05: Turboshaft; Topic: Casing in composite;

· ITD: Systems for Green Operations; Area-04: Aircraft Demonstrators; Topic: Design and manufacture of an aircraft tractor compliant with specifications for Smart Operations on ground.

The 20 proposals proposed for funding accounted for 32 participations from 10 European countries. Of those, 10 (31.3%) participants came from academia and 5 (15.6%) were research institutions. The SME participation was 34.4% (11 companies), requesting a total funding of € 2,428,881 (29.3% of the total requested funding).

The geographical distribution of the proposals selected for funding is shown in the graph below, the UK and Italy being on the lead with 4 winning proposals each, followed closely by Belgium (3 proposals), Germany and France (2 proposals):

2.4.4. Grant agreements signed

The negotiations of the 20 proposals proposed for funding in CS JU call 2 started in April-May 2010. It is important to note that by the time of writing of the present document some of the projects were still under negotiation. In Table 3 below these projects are shown on positions 16-20 in italic.

The total budget requested by the selected 20 proposals amounted to € 8,279,484.40, of which € 5,712,247.55 was the EU contribution. The total contribution under the GAPs signed by October 2011 – 15 contracts in total – equalled to € 6,040,060.40, of which the EU funding was € 4,385,730.80 and the in-kind contribution from industry amounting to € 1,654,329.60.

Table 4. CS JU call 3 (SP1-JTI-CS-2010-01). Topics overview

The call process was managed by the Clean Sky JU, according to the principles of excellence, transparency, fairness and impartiality, confidentiality, efficiency, speed and ethical considerations.

The timing for the call is given on Figure 5 below:

Figure 5. Timeline of the CS JU call 3 (SP1-JTI-CS-2010-01)

The total indicative budget of the call was set to € 16,588,000, of which the EU contribution could be up to € 12,441,000 (50-75% of the topic maximum budget indicated).

2.5.2. Analysis of proposals submitted

The call was published on 29 January 2010 and applicants were invited to submit their proposals by 27 April 2010. In total, 113 proposals were submitted in response to the 45 open topics addressed by the present call, involving applicants from 18 countries. 6 were found to be ineligible and the remaining 107 eligible proposals were evaluated by 95 independent experts.

2.5.3. Evaluation results

The on-site evaluation of the proposals took place in Brussels between 17 and 21 May 2010 following the methodology described in Section 2.3.1. It was preceded by individual remote evaluations. To ensure high degree of transparency, the CS JU invited one independent observer to verify if the evaluations have been done according to the set evaluation guidelines and rules. Out of the 107 eligible proposals, 70 passed the thresholds, while 37 failed one or more thresholds.

In terms of covered technological areas, similarly to the previous call launched by Clean Sky in 2009, the 2 topics in Eco-Design and all 12 topics in GRA were successful. The same applied to the only topic published in SAGE. As to GRC, 3 out of the 4 topics in this demonstrator resulted in a winning proposal. Topic GRC-04-002 failed, because all proposals were evaluated below threshold. Regarding SFWA and SGO, topics SFWA-01-007, SFWA-01-014 and SGO-05-015 did not attract any proposals in their domains, while the proposals submitted in SFWA-01-013 and SGO-02-014 could not pass the required thresholds.

Thus, after the evaluation, 40 projects could be finalised. To sum up, the 6 topics remaining vacant were the following:

· ITD: Green Rotorcraft; Area-04: Installation of diesel engines on light helicopters; Topic: Participation to the definition of optimal helicopter architecture for diesel engine;

The timing for the call is given on Figure 8 below:

Figure 8. Timeline of the CS JU call 5 (SP1-JTI-CS-2010-03)

The total indicative budget of the call was set to € 25,800,000, of which the EU contribution could be up to € 19,350,000 (50-75% of the topic maximum budget indicated).

2.7.2. Analysis of proposals submitted

The call was published on 30 April 2010 and applicants were invited to submit their proposals by 20 July 2010. In total, 91 proposals were submitted in response to the 34 open topics addressed by the present call, involving applicants from 14 countries. 10 were found to be ineligible and the remaining 81 eligible proposals were evaluated by 89 independent experts.

2.7.3. Evaluation results

The on-site evaluation of the proposals took place in Brussels between 13 and 17 September 2010 following the methodology described in Section 2.3.1. It was preceded by individual remote evaluations. To ensure high degree of transparency, the CS JU invited one independent observer to verify if the evaluations have been done according to the set evaluation guidelines and rules. The 81 eligible proposals have been evaluated by a total of 89 technical independent experts, of which 33 external and 56 internal experts, representing 18 different nations. 48 proposals passed the thresholds, while 33 failed one or more thresholds.

In terms of covered technological areas, the 4 topics in Eco-Design and the only topic in GRC were successful. As to GRA, 3 out of the 4 topics in this demonstrator resulted in a winning proposal. Topic GRA-02-010 failed, because all proposals were evaluated below threshold. Regarding SAGE and SGO, topics SAGE-03-002, SGO-02-027 and SGO-04-001 did not attract any proposals in their domains, while the proposals submitted in SAGE-05-011, SGO SGO-02-026 and SGO-02-028 could not pass the required thresholds.

Thus, after the evaluation, 26 projects could be finalised. To sum up, the 7 topics remaining vacant were the following:

Table 10. CS JU call 6 (SP1-JTI-CS-2010-04). Topics overview

The call process was managed by the Clean Sky JU, according to the principles of excellence, transparency, fairness and impartiality, confidentiality, efficiency, speed and ethical considerations.

The timing for the call is given on Figure 10 below:

Figure 10. Timeline of the CS JU call 6 (SP1-JTI-CS-2010-04)

The total indicative budget of the call was set to € 18,820,000, of which the EU contribution could be up to € 14,115,000 (50-75% of the topic maximum budget indicated).

2.8.2. Analysis of proposals submitted

The call was published on 27 July 2010 and applicants were invited to submit their proposals by 12 October 2010. In total, 68 proposals involving applicants from 12 countries were received. Out of those 68 proposals, 64 were considered eligible for evaluation.

2.8.3. Evaluation results

The on-site evaluation of the proposals took place in Brussels between 8 and 12 November 2010 following the methodology described in Section 2.3.1. It was preceded by individual remote evaluations. To ensure high degree of transparency, the CS JU invited the same independent observer as in the fifth call to verify if the evaluations have been done according to the set evaluation guidelines and rules. Out of the 64 proposals, 40 passed the thresholds, while 24 failed one or more thresholds.

In terms of covered technological areas, the 3 topics in GRC and all 10 topics in SAGE were successful. As to Eco-Design, 2 out of the 3 topics in this demonstrator resulted in a winning proposal. Topic ECO-02-005 failed, because the only proposal received was evaluated below threshold. Regarding GRA, SFWA and SGO, topics GRA-02-013, SFWA-01-028 and SFWA-02-010 did not attract any proposals in their domains, while the proposals submitted in SGO-02-014 could not pass the set thresholds.

Thus, after the evaluation, 24 projects could be finalised. To sum up, the 5 topics remaining vacant were the following:

· ITD: Eco-Design; Area-02: EDS (Eco-Design for Systems); Topic: Development, Construction and Integration of Systems for Ground Thermal Test Bench;

· ITD: Green Regional Aircraft; Area-02: Low noise configurations; Topic: Novel nose wheel evolution for noise reduction;

· ITD: Smart Fixed Wing Aircraft; Area-01: Smart Wing Technology; Topic: Structural tests on smart droop nose device with regards to aircraft level;

· ITD: Smart Fixed Wing Aircraft; Area-02: New Configuration; Topic: Innovative shield design and manufacturing;

· ITD: Systems for Green Operations; Area-02: Management of Aircraft Energy; Topic: Construction of evaluation Power Modules (10) to a given design.

The 24 proposals proposed for funding accounted for 54 participations from 9 European countries. Of those, 15 (27.8%) participants came from academia and 9 (16.7%) were research institutions. The SME participation was 25.9% (14 companies), requesting a total funding of € 3,637,485 (21.8% of the total requested funding).

The geographical distribution of the proposals selected for funding is shown in the graph below, the UK and Germany being on the lead with 8 and 7 winning proposals respectively, followed by Spain (3 proposals):

2.8.4. Grant agreements signed

The negotiations of the 24 proposals proposed for funding in CS JU call 6 started in January-February 2011. Considering that the average time-to-grant for Clean Sky’s projects with partners in 2010 was on average 8.21 months, by the time of writing of the present document the majority of the projects were still under negotiation. In Table 11 below these projects are shown on positions 8-24 in italic.

As seen in the table, the total budget requested by the 24 proposals amounted to € 16,710,420.40, of which € 10,712,291.30 was the EU contribution. The total contribution under the GAPs signed by October 2011 – 7 contracts in total – equalled to € 4,509,931.60, of which the EU funding was € 3,168,047.30 and the in-kind contribution from industry amounting to € 1,341,884.30.
