Concerning NoEs financed under FP6, the Commission should assess on a case-by-case basis whether past achievements, potential EU added value and prospects of self-sustainability justify further funding under FP7. (ii) The Commission should examine the various reasons underlying the relatively low level of participants’ RTD investment compared to the goals pursued and propose specific measures. 
OP, bi morala Komisija na podlagi posameznega primera oceniti, ali pretekli dosežki, možna dodana vrednost EU in možnosti za samostojnost upravičujejo nadaljnje financiranje v okviru 7. OP. (ii) Komisija bi morala preučiti različne razloge, povezane z relativno nizko stopnjo naložb udeležencev v RTR, v primerjavi z zastavljenimi ožjimi cilji, in predlagati posebne ukrepe.
Appropriate data should be made available to monitor the catalytic effect of EU RTD funding. 
Na razpolago bi bilo treba dati ustrezne podatke za spremljanje pospeševalnega učinka financiranja RTR s strani EU.
The realism of expected targets, in particular for SMEs and the private sector, should be reassessed. (iii) In view of improving in particular the manageability of projects, their adequate implementation and appropriate evaluation, the Commission should ensure clear and timely guidance, a speedier contracting process and better project monitoring. Special Report No 8/2009 — ‘Networks of Excellence’ and ‘Integrated Projects’ in Community research policy: did they achieve their objectives? 
Ponovno bi bilo treba oceniti stvarnost predvidenih končnih ciljev, zlasti za MSP in zasebni sektor. (iii) Zaradi izboljšanja zlasti obvladljivosti projektov, ustreznosti njihovega izvajanja in primernega vrednotenja, bi Komisija morala zagotoviti jasna in pravočasna navodila, hitrejši postopek oddaje naročil in boljše spremljanje projekta.

8 INTRODUCTION OBJECTIVES AND THREATS FACING COMMUNITY RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT (RTD) POLICY OBJECTIVES 1. 
8 UVOD CILJI IN NEVARNOSTI, S KATERIMI SE SOOČA PODROČJE RAZISKAV IN TEHNOLOŠKEGA RAZVOJA (RTR) SKUPNOSTI CILJI POLITIKE 1.
Research and technological development (RTD) has a key influence on scientific and technological progress and innovation. 
Raziskave in tehnološki razvoj (RTR) imajo ključni vpliv na znanstveni in tehnični napredek ter inovacije.
Research is an important priority for the European Union and its Member States so that the high living standards of its citizens can be maintained and improved. 
Raziskave so pomembna prednostna naloga za Evropsko unijo in njene države članice, ker omogočajo ohranjanje in izboljševanje visokega življenjskega standarda njenih državljanov.
The overall objectives of the European Community RTD policy1 are to strengthen the scientific and technological bases of Community industry and encourage it to become more competitive at international level. 
Splošni cilji politike RTR Evropske skupnosti1 so krepiti znanstvene in tehnološke temelje industrije Skupnosti ter jo spodbujati, da postane bolj konkurenčna na mednarodni ravni.
Undertakings, research centres and universities are encouraged to cooperate with one another in high-quality RTD activities to exploit the internal market potential to the full. 
Da bi se možnosti notranjega trga izkoristile v celoti, se podjetja, raziskovalne centre in univerze spodbuja k medsebojnemu sodelovanju v visokokakovostnih RTR dejavnostih.

1 Pogodba o ustanovitvi Evropske skupnosti, Naslov XVIII (Raziskave in tehnološki razvoj), členi 163 do 173.
The activities are so defined: (a) implementation of research, technological development and demonstration programmes, by promoting cooperation with and between undertakings, research centres and universities; (b) promotion of cooperation in the field of Community research, technological development and demonstration with third countries and international organisations; (c) dissemination and optimisation of the results of activities in Community research, technological development and demonstration; (d) stimulation of the training and mobility of researchers in the Community. 
Dejavnosti so opredeljene takole : (a) izvajanje raziskav, tehnološkega razvoja in predstavitvenih programov s spodbujanjem sodelovanja s podjetji in med njimi, raziskovalnimi središči in univerzami; (b) spodbujanje sodelovanja na področju raziskav, tehnološkega razvoja in predstavitvenih programov Skupnosti s tretjimi državami in mednarodnimi organizacijami; (c) razširjanje in optimizacija rezultatov dejavnosti s področja raziskav, tehnološkega razvoja in predstavitev Skupnosti; (d) spodbujanje usposabljanja in mobilnosti raziskovalcev v Skupnosti.
Since 1984, European Community RTD activities have been implemented through multiannual Framework Programmes (FPs) which define, for a given period, the scientific and technological objectives, the broad lines of the activities, the overall budget and its breakdown by action, and the detailed rules for Community financial participation. 
RTR dejavnosti Evropske skupnosti se od leta 1984 izvajajo prek večletnih okvirnih programov (OP), v katerih so za določeno obdobje opredeljeni znanstveni in tehnološki cilji, splošne smernice za dejavnosti, skupni proračun in njegova razčlenitev po dejavnostih ter podrobna pravila za finančno udeležbo Skupnosti.
Funding in successive EU Framework Programmes has increased over time. 
Financiranje v zaporednih okvirnih programih EU se je sčasoma povečalo.
FPs are the largest single public source of research funding in the European Union, with an overall share between 4 % and 5 % of total public RTD funding. 
OP so največji posamezni javni vir financiranja raziskav v Evropski uniji, s skupnim deležem, ki se giblje med 4 % in 5 % celotnega javnega financiranja RTR.
STRUCTURAL WEAKNESSES AND AMBITIONS OF EUROPEAN RESEARCH 4. 
STRUKTURNE SLABOSTI IN AMBICIJE NA PODROČJU EVROPSKIH RAZISKAV 4.
European research is widely held to suffer from structural weaknesses. 
Za evropske raziskave se splošno meni, da vsebujejo strukturne slabosti.
The Commission has highlighted that2: (a) there is insufficient and dispersed investment in RTD; (b) insufficient human resources are devoted to research; (c) there is a limited capacity to translate scientific breakthroughs into innovative and competitive products and services; and (d) research policies in Europe are fragmented. 
Komisija je poudarila, da2: (a) so naložbe v RTR nezadostne in razpršene; (b) je raziskavam namenjenih premalo človeških virov; (c) so zmogljivosti za prenos znanstvenih prebojev v inovativne in konkurenčne izdelke ter storitve omejene in (d) da so raziskovalne politike v Evropi razdrobljene.
The Commission and the European Council considered that realising an ‘European Research Area’ (ERA) is a key step to overcome these structural weaknesses3. 
Komisija in Evropski svet sta menila, da je ključni korak za premagovanje teh strukturnih slabosti3 vzpostavitev „Evropskega raziskovalnega prostora“ (ERP).
The ERA would constitute an internal market for research and technology, as well as a space for a better coordination of national and regional research activities and policies. 
ERP bi tvoril notranji trg za raziskave in tehnologijo ter prostor za boljše usklajevanje nacionalnih in regionalnih raziskovalnih dejavnosti ter politik.
The European Council has set for the Union the ambitious goal ‘to become the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world, capable of sustainable economic growth with more and better jobs and greater social cohesion’4. 
Evropski svet je za Unijo določil ambiciozen cilj „postati najbolj konkurenčno in dinamično na znanju temelječe gospodarstvo na svetu, sposobno trajnostne gospodarske rasti s številčnejšimi in boljšimi delovnimi mesti ter z večjo socialno kohezijo“4.
In this perspective, the European research effort should be increased, with the aim of approaching 3 % of gross domestic product by 2010 (up from 1,9 % in 2000). 
S tega vidika bi bilo treba povečati prizadevanja na področju evropskih raziskav, da bi se do leta 2010 sredstva približala cilju 3 % bruto domačega proizvoda (z 1,9 % v letu 2000).
Two thirds of this new investment should come from the private sector5. 
Dve tretjini teh novih naložb bi morali priti iz zasebnega sektorja5.

THE SIXTH FRAMEWORK PROGRAMME 6. 
ŠESTI OKVIRNI PROGRAM 6.
The European Community Sixth Framework Programme (FP6)6 was an instrument intended to assist in achieving the ambitious objectives mentioned earlier. 
Šesti okvirni program (6. OP)6 Evropske skupnosti je bil instrument, ki naj bi pomagal doseči prej omenjene ambiciozne cilje.
Its aim was to fund activities contributing both to innovation and to the creation of the ERA, by fostering more integration and coordination in Europe’s fragmented research sector. 
Njegov cilj je bil financirati dejavnosti, ki bi prispevale tako k inovacijam kot k oblikovanju ERP prek spodbujanja večjega povezovanja in usklajevanja v razdrobljenem evropskem raziskovalnem sektorju.
FP6 covered, for the period 2002 to 2006, the full spectrum from basic to applied research, the development of scientific and technical excellence and the coordination of European research. 
6. OP je v obdobju 2002–2006 zajemal celo paleto raziskav, od osnovnih do uporabnih, razvoj znanstvene in tehnične odličnosti ter usklajevanje evropskih raziskav.
The programme was structured around three headings: — integrating and strengthening the European Research Area; — structuring the European Research Area; and — strengthening the foundations of the European Research Area. 
Program so sestavljali trije naslovi: – povezovanje in krepitev Evropskega raziskovalnega prostora; – oblikovanje Evropskega raziskovalnega prostora in – krepitev temeljev Evropskega raziskovalnega prostora.

With a budget of around 17 billion euro for the years 2002–06, FP6 financed until the end of 2008 ‘indirect’ RTD activities worth 25 billion euro in estimated investments7. 
OP do konca leta 2008 financirale „posredne“ dejavnosti RTR, vredne 25 milijard EUR v predvidenih naložbah7.
Most expenditure (around 75 %) was carried out under the heading ‘Integrating and strengthening the European Research Area’, within seven ‘thematic priorities’8, i.e. programmes covering specific themes of research. 
Večina odhodkov (približno 75 %) je bila izvršena v okviru naslova „povezo-vanje in krepitev Evropskega raziskovalnega prostora“, znotraj sedmih „tematskih prednostnih nalog“8, tj. programov, ki zajemajo posebne raziskovalne teme.
In view of developing their technological capacity and facilitating their access to high-quality research, FP6 put special emphasis on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). 
Pri 6. OP je bil poseben poudarek namenjen malim in srednje velikim podjetjem (MSP), zaradi razvijanja njihovih tehnoloških zmogljivosti in lajšanja dostopa do visokokakovostnih raziskav.
An amount of 1,8 billion euro was earmarked for this purpose, i.e. 15 % of the total budget of the thematic priorities (one third more than in the previous Framework Programme). 
Za to je bil namenjen znesek 1,8 milijarde EUR, tj. 15 % skupnega proračuna za tematske prednostne naloge (za tretjino več kot pri prejšnjem okvirnem programu).
THE NEW INSTRUMENTS AND THEIR OBJECTIVES 9. 
NOVI INSTRUMENTI IN NJIHOVI CILJI 9.
In addition to the traditional instruments9, two new instruments were introduced by FP6 aiming especially at ‘Integrating and strengthening the European Research Area’: — ‘Networks of Excellence’ (NoEs) were aimed primarily at creating a substantial and lasting integration of the research activities of the network partners, thus directly tackling the fragmentation of research activities in Europe in a given thematic priority. — ‘Integrated Projects’ (IPs) were designed to generate the knowledge required to implement the thematic priorities, by achieving ambitious, clearly defined scientific and technological objectives of a European dimension. 
OP uvedena dva nova instrumenta, namenjena predvsem „povezovanju in krepitvi Evropskega raziskovalnega prostora“: – Cilj „mrež odličnosti“ je bil predvsem ustvariti močno in trajno povezovanje raziskovalnih dejavnosti partnerjev v mreži in tako na določenem tematskem prednostnem področju neposredno odpravljati razdrobljenost raziskovalnih dejavnosti v Evropi. – „Integrirani projekti“ so bili zasnovani za ustvarjanje znanja, potrebnega za izvajanje tematskih prednostnih nalog prek doseganja ambicioznih, jasno opredeljenih znanstvenih in tehnoloških ciljev z evropsko razsežnostjo.
NoEs and IPs could be carried out in any of the seven ‘thematic priorities’ (see footnote 8). 
Mreže odličnosti in integrirani projekti bi se lahko izvajali v okviru katere koli od sedmih „tematskih prednostnih nalog“ (glej opombo 8).
These instruments were recognised by the legislator as being the main means to generate added value over and above that which could be achieved through national efforts (European added value), by integrating European research capacities. 
Zakonodajalec je te instrumente priznal kot glavno sredstvo, s katerimi se prek povezovanja evropskih raziskovalnih zmogljivosti dosega dodana vrednost, višja od vrednosti, ki bi jo bilo mogoče doseči z nacionalnimi prizadevanji (evropska dodana vrednost).
This was supposed to achieve a critical mass in terms of expertise, activities and resources (staff, skills, competences, finances, infrastructure, equipment). 
S tem naj bi bila dosežena kritična masa strokovnega znanja, dejavnosti in virov (uslužbenci, veščine, pristojnosti, finance, infrastruktura, oprema).
Also the new instruments were supposed to play an important role in achieving the target of spending 15 % of the budget of the thematic priorities on SME (see paragraph 8). 
Novi instrumenti naj bi pomembno vlogo igrali tudi pri doseganju končnega cilja, da se v proračunu za tematske prednostne naloge 15 % nameni za MSP (glej odstavek 8).
7 ‘Indirect’ RTD activities designate actions to be implemented by grant contractors, as opposed to ‘direct’ activities carried out by the Commission through its Joint Research Centre. 
7 V nasprotju z „neposrednimi dejavnostmi“, ki jih izvaja Komisija prek Skupnega raziskovalnega središča, „posredne“ dejavnosti RTR označujejo dejavnosti, ki jih izvajajo izvajalci iz pogodb o donacijah.
8 The seven ‘thematic priorities’ are: life sciences, genomics and biotechnology for health; information society technologies; nanotechnologies and nanosciences, knowledge-based multifunctional materials, and new production processes and devices; aeronautics and space; food quality and safety; sustainable development, global change and ecosystems; citizens and governance in a knowledge-based society. 
8 Teh sedem „tematskih prednostnih nalog“ je: znanosti o življenju, genomika in biotehnologija za zdravje; tehnologije informacijske družbe; nanotehnologije in nanoznanosti, večfunkcionalni materiali na osnovi novih znanj ter nove proizvodne metode in naprave; aeronavtika in vesolje; kakovost in varnost živil ter prehrane; trajnostni razvoj, globalne spremembe in ekosistemi; državljani in upravljanje v družbi znanja.

Boxes 1 and 2 provide examples of the type of activities carried out in ‘NoEs’ and ‘IPs’. 
V okvirih 1 in 2 so navedeni primeri vrste dejavnosti, ki so bile izvedene v okviru „mrež odličnosti“ in „integriranih projektov“.
PROJECT SELECTION AND MANAGEMENT 12. 
IZBIRA IN UPRAVLJANJE PROJEKTOV 12.
As in previous Framework Programmes, the Commission published periodically calls for proposals describing the broad areas of activity. 
Tako kot pri prejšnjih okvirnih programih je Komisija periodično objavljala razpise za zbiranje predlogov, v katerih so bili opisi obsežnih področij dejavnosti.
Request for funding submitted by potential beneficiaries were assessed with the help of independent experts (‘evaluators’). 
Prošnje za financiranje, ki so jih predložili potencialni upravičenci, so bile ocenjene s pomočjo neodvisnih strokovnjakov („ocenjevalcev“).
Proposals were evaluated against the scientific and technical criteria defined in the call for proposals, including management criteria linked with the proposers’ potential capacity to implement the projects. 
Predlogi so bili ocenjeni glede na znanstvena in tehnična merila, opredeljena v razpisu za zbiranje predlogov, vključno z merili upravljanja, povezanimi s potencialnimi zmogljivostmi predlagateljev za izvedbo projektov.
Projects considered most deserving of EU funding were selected by the Commission and grants awarded. 
Komisija je izbrala projekte, za katere je menila, da si najbolj zaslužijo financiranje EU, in jim dodelila donacije.
Project progress was monitored and periodically assessed by the Commission, including by reference to the objectives specifically assigned to each instrument. 
Komisija je spremljala in periodično ocenjevala napredek projektov, med drugim glede na cilje, ki so bili posebej določeni za vsak instrument.
This monitoring was carried out with the assistance of independent experts (reviewers)11. 
To spremljanje je bilo izvedeno s pomočjo neodvisnih strokovnjakov (pregledovalcev)11.
10 Together with DG Research, which is the main Directorate-General managing and coordinating FP6 activities, four other DGs also managed parts of specific programmes: DG Information Society and Media, DG Energy and Transport, DG Enterprise and Industry, DG Maritime Affairs and Fisheries. 
10 Poleg GD za raziskave, ki je glavni generalni direktorat, ki upravlja in usklajuje dejavnosti 6. OP, so dele posebnih programov upravljali še štirje drugi generalni direktorati: GD za informacijsko družbo in medije, GD za energetiko in promet, GD za podjetništvo in industrijo, GD za pomorske zadeve in ribištvo.
In addition, the DG ‘Joint Research Centre’ is in charge of those activities which are directly implemented by the Commission. 
Poleg tega je GD „Skupno raziskovalno središče“ zadolžen za tiste dejavnosti, ki jih neposredno izvaja Komisija.

12 BOX 1 WHAT SORT OF ACTIVITIES WERE CARRIED OUT IN NoEs? 
12 OKVIR 1 KAKŠNE VRSTE DEJAVNOSTI SO SE IZVAJALE V OKVIRU MREŽ ODLIČNOSTI?
Every NoE is different. 
Vsaka mreža odličnosti je drugačna.
Examples of the specific activities carried out include: Integration of activities implemented under the NoEs examined included the exchange of PhD students and research staff, the organisation of joint workshops, the creation of virtual Internet-based research working groups, the establishment of virtual labs and institutes, and the organisation of visits intended to provide access to off-site facilities. 
Primeri posebnih dejavnosti, ki so se izvajale, zajemajo: Povezovanje dejavnosti, ki so se izvajale v okviru preučenih mrež odličnosti, je zajemalo izmenjavo študentov doktorskega študija in raziskovalnega osebja, organizacijo skupnih delavnic, oblikovanje virtualnih internetnih raziskovalnih delovnih skupin, ustanovitev virtualnih laboratorijev in inštitutov ter organizacijo obiskov, namenjenih zagotovitvi dostopa do infrastrukture zunaj lokacije udeležencev projekta.
Joint research activities implemented under the NoEs examined include the funding of individual research projects, often through internal calls for proposals implemented under the responsibility of scientific task leaders. 
Skupne raziskovalne dejavnosti, ki so se izvajale v okviru preučenih mrež odličnosti, zajemajo financiranje posameznih raziskovalnih projektov, pogosto prek notranjih razpisov za zbiranje predlogov, ki so se izvajali pod odgovornostjo vodij za znanstvene naloge.
