EUREKA UMBRELLA PROJECT: Technologies for a Sustainable and Competitive Construction Sector Continuing into Eureka. Build 2 To be discussed Decisions to be made Actions to be taken
To be discussed ¾ New Umbrella Guidelines 2009 ¾ Extension of the Eureka. Build Umbrella ¾ New structure Organising the Eureka. Build 2 – chairman, secretariat etc ¾ Consortium Participants, NUP, NUS ¾ New Work Plan Meeting of participants in Eureka. Build 2 Preparation of work plan and application formalities ¾ Next action ¾Ao. B !3790 Eureka. Build - 14 - European Construction Technology Platform
Starting point ¾ Achievements from Eureka. Build 1 in terms of Network Project ideas Projects running ¾ ECTP SRA and IAP Eureka. Build should still be a supplementary instrument to fulfil the objectives of ECTP, and thus a part of the ECTP organisation ¾ The Eureka. Build Action Plan from May 2006 Will still be valid for most items, and can be used as a basis ¾ The new Eureka Umbrella guidelines Need to be implemented in the new action plan ¾ The NTPs network Should still be a backbone for the initiative !3790 Eureka. Build - 15 - European Construction Technology Platform
Decisions to be made ¾ Chair The Spanish NTP has offered to chair the new Eureka. Build 2 initiative, and provide funding for the chair and support office ¾ Commitment of member states EUREKA member states must decide on their continued commitment to Eureka. Build 2 – at least 5 member states will be needed in order to relaunch the Umbrella According to the new Umbrella guidelines a stronger NPC commitment will be needed also regarding financial issues ¾ Secretariat Hosting and running the secretariat and support office – with ECTP, with the Chair or other alternatives ¾ Management and WP structure Overall structure for decision-making and running of the Umbrella Work packages and responsibilities !3790 Eureka. Build - 16 - European Construction Technology Platform
Actions to be taken ¾ Establish the new structure Define responsibilities Secure the commitment from partners and their NPCs Secure the funding ¾ Prepare the new Work Plan Meeting of new SC, at/with ESE in early 2010 Write and adopt the work plan File the application form ¾ Set up the new secretariat and support office ¾ Define roles and have the new TC and WP leaders up and running !3790 Eureka.
