News archive - ICT Call 5: Enlargement of existing consortia towards the enlarged Europe
ICT Call 5 includes the Objective ICT-2009.9.5: Supplements to strengthen cooperation in ICT R and D in an enlarged European Union. This new objective offers coordinators of ongoing ICT research projects (IP or STREP) which finish after March 31, 2011 the opportunity to add one or more new partners to their project to expand its activities in or into the enlarged European Union. Deadline for the call will be October 26, 2009 (the call is expected to be launched on July 31).
Coordinators of qualifying ICT projects have been approached by DG INFSO to invite them to provide their project information, in order to populate a new database on CORDIS.
The ICT call 5 expected to be launched on 31 July deadline has been shifted from 3 November to 26 October 2009, meaning researchers have one week less to prepare proposals. Following the recent experience of DG Information Society (INFSO) in handling the entire evaluation of ICT Call 4 (with remote reading and scoring of proposals at the individual stage), the EC believes that that the original timetable for ICT Call 5, originally closing on 3rd November, would make it impossible to complete the evaluation of Call 5 (with remote reading) before Christmas. Since it is not possible to move the evaluation into January or February, DG INFSO has announced that they are obliged to advance the closing date for ICT call 5 to 17h00 Brussels time on Monday 26th October. This date will of course be highlighted on the call page and in the Guides for applicants, and in the revised ICT workprogramme 2009-2010.
More information is available from this presentation (on international cooperation starting page 33).
