 Various ICT applications

Aero-Ukraine project

Ukraine has only modest involvement in EU funded aeronautics research projects

E.g. Ukrainian organisations participated in only 8 of 247 projects funded under FP6 AEROSPACE

Often due to lack of knowledge about:

 EU funding opportunities  EU research partners

 EU proposal preparation and submission processes

The idea:

Support research co-operation

between aeronautics

organisations from the EU and

Ukraine

 Intelligentsia Consultants (UK)

 Univ. of Patras-LTSM (GR)

 ANTONOV ASTC (UA)

PROJECT DURATION:

Aero-Ukraine project

The project will achieve its overall aim via a range of activities:

 Assessing and publicising the aeronautics

collaboration potential between the EU and Ukraine.

 Raising awareness and understanding of EU

aeronautics collaborative research.

 Supporting participation in FP7 aeronautics

Aero-Ukraine project

Assessing and publicising the aeronautics collaboration potential between the EU and Ukraine:

 Mapping the Ukrainian aeronautics actors;  Reporting on opportunities for Ukrainian

aeronautics actors in the EU;

 Production of a “National Report on

aeronautics R&D in the Ukraine”;

Aero-Ukraine project

Raising awareness and understanding of EU aeronautics collaborative research:

 Organising FP7 aeronautics events in

Ukraine that combine awareness-raising, training and networking with EU aeronautics actors.

 Ukrainian aeronautics actors presenting

their aeronautics research at aeronautics networking and partnership events in the EU.

Aero-Ukraine project

Supporting participation in FP7 aeronautics research :

 Preparing for the establishment of an FP7

Aeronautics NCP in Ukraine;

 Providing support to Ukrainian aeronautics

organisations by identifying and contacting EU aeronautics research organisations in order to join consortia preparing FP7 research proposals.

Aero-Ukraine project

Assessing and publicising the aeronautics collaboration potential between the EU and Ukraine

A brochure describing:

 FP7 aeronautics research

opportunities and

 providing practical advice on

how to get involved in FP7 collaborative research projects was created and published via

Aero-Ukraine project

Assessing and publicising the aeronautics collaboration potential between the EU and Ukraine

 In order to achieve mapping of

Ukrainian aeronautics actors, we have contacted 100+ Ukrainian aeronautics actors and compiled 1-2 page profile datasheets for the 50 strongest ones.

 A promotional brochure, comprised of

the profile datasheets, is available in English via the AERO-UKRAINE web-portal and also distributed in personal communication.

Aero-Ukraine project

Assessing and publicising the aeronautics collaboration potential between the EU and Ukraine

The Ukrainian Aeronautics R&D Report 2010 were created that describes:

 the main Ukrainian aeronautics actors,  includes PEST and SWOT analyses of the

aeronautics sector,

 compares the Ukrainian government’s

aeronautics research priorities with those of EC,

 and makes recommendations for future

Some actions and results 1/5

 Training course was presented at the Kiev Workshop of the

project.

 ETNA Brokerage Event was major possibility for the Ukrainian

partners to make presentations and participate in networking activities.

 CEARES workshop held in Slovakia - KhAI held a presentation

about the potentials of the Ukrainian aeronautical entities and raised several project ideas.

 KhAI submitted four project ideas through the AeroPortal

website.

 Relatively limited international participation (3%)  ~240 non-EU participants, ~30MEuro

 Main focus on aviation – 55% participants, 75%

funding

 Top participants: Russia, China, Brazil, Ukraine,

Canada

 Benefit (access to knowledge) larger than

investments (2,2%)

 Reinforcing links with eastern neighbors

Some FP7 lessons

 Ukrainian partners: Industry, Universities, Research Institutes

NASU

 Wide range of FP7 project types and schemes used  First UA project coordination experience

 No Ukrainian SMEs involved  L0 projects were not used

 JTI (CleanSky) was not available for UA

 FP7 mechanisms (esp. financial) are pretty difficult for

Ukrainian potential partners

 No coordination/support at UA governmental level  No interaction between DGR and NCP

 Aeronautics as EU-UA priority for H2020

 UKRAINE associated to H2020

 Some specific schemes: MG1 focused call for UA,

SICA, etc.

 UA access to JTI (CLEAN SKY -2, SESAR)

 More focused UA SMEs actions

 UA as project coordinator

 Very limited funds for collaborative projects

UA H2020 expectations
