Annual Work Programmes and Calls for Proposals Sample Clauses

Annual Work Programmes and Calls for Proposals. CSES undertook an appraisal of the content of the Security Research annual work programmes under both PASR and FP7 SEC. These contain the text of Calls for Proposals. PASR had 3 annual work programmes in the 2004-2006 period, and 5 main research topics : Improving situation awareness; Optimising security and protection of networked systems; Protecting against terrorism; Enhancing Crisis Management and Interoperability and integrated systems for ICT. The more detailed research topics mentioned in PASR calls were broad in scope and purposefully not that prescriptive in their description of activities to be supported. Reflecting the experimental nature of a preparatory action, the intention was to encourage a wide variety of project applications. Notwithstanding, while PASR projects achieved many positive outcomes, and while there is strong evidence of continuity in FP7 SEC, the work programme would have been more coherent if it had included a clear description of the aims, types of activities and thematic areas from which project applications would be welcome, along with a short overview of expected impacts. The coherence of the FP7 Security annual Work Programmes were found to have improved over time. The 2009, 2010 and 2011 work programmes provide clearer topic descriptions and a stronger thematic focus than the 2007 work programme, for example. While ‘expected impacts’ were set out at the activity level, in 2007, these were only described for a small number of topics. In subsequent Calls, there has been an effort to standardise the presentation of topics. Under each topic, a description is provided of the technical content / scope, the funding scheme concerned and the expected impact. Information about the thematic priorities in FP7 SEC was less prominent in the 2007 and 2009 work programmes, but was strengthened in 2010 and 2011. Explicit mention of thematic areas such as aviation security, maritime security etc. was more meaningful to beneficiaries and the wider public than the concept of ‘missions’, since these are quite high-level. While each Work Programme included a short overview of the policy context and rationale of the FP7 SEC programme, it may be helpful in future to provide a summary of the aims which distinguishes between general, specific and operational objectives. The precise configuration of these objectives should be determined by the Security Research Unit (working in conjunction with the Programme Security Committee). This would make i...
