programmes/initiatives that will cover all research and innovation funding currently provided through:

Framework Programme for Research and Technical Development (€53bn)Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP) (€3.6bn)European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) (€309m)

More innovation, all forms of innovation, from research to retail

Focus on societal challenges facing EU society, e.g. health, clean energy, green transport

Simplified access, for all companies, state bodies, universities, institutes in all EU countries and beyond

Strengthening complementarities with the Structural Funds:

programmes and funding bodies2. One project – one funding rate

• Maximum of 100% of the total eligible costs (except for actions close to market, where a 70% maximum will apply)

• Indirect eligible costs ( Overheads) a flat rate of 25% of direct eligible costs / VAT will now be an eligible cost

3. Simple evaluation criteria• 3 Criteria - Excellence – Impact – Implementation

4. New forms of funding• aimed at innovation: pre-commercial procurement, inducement prizes, dedicated

MG.2.1-2014. I²I – Intelligent Infrastructure• Smart, cost-efficient, high-capacity, user-friendly rail infrastructure:

• proposals should aim at identifying relevant infrastructure-related challenges and developing solutions that result in:• reduced investment• recurring operational costs• improve the reliability and availability of rail operations and • increase the attractiveness and usability for all passenger categories (including persons with reduced mobility)

• I2M – Intelligent mobility management: Development of intelligent, automated and flexible rail traffic dispatching systems, supporting an integrated approach to the optimisation of railway architecture and operational systems at network, route and individual train level.

• Solutions to consider customer service, capacity, speed, timekeeping, energy, asset management with real time field and asset condition monitoring and intelligent traffic planning.

• Emphasis should be given to real-time data collection and analytics from trains and infrastructure for the purposes of goal oriented predictive and adaptive control of the traffic

DIT 30-01-14

MG.2.1-2014. I²I – Intelligent Infrastructure –Cont…• Energy management: the work should address innovative approaches to improve the

efficiency of energy usage in rail systems, embracing vehicles, infrastructure and operation within a whole-system perspective. This will imply notably the development of smart concepts in intelligent design and management of energy systems for rail applications which should be pursued from a whole-of-life perspective - from concept to implementation through the design, procurement, manufacturing, construction, operations and maintenance phases.

MG.2.1-2014. New Generation of Rail VehiclesProposals should focus on innovative system approaches leading in the longer-term to the development and demonstration of a new-generation of railway vehicles and passenger trains, characterised by significant improvements in product reliability, cost-effectiveness, user-friendliness, safety and security, environmental impacts, ease of manufacture and interoperability.

DIT 30-01-14

MG.2.2-2014. Smart rail servicesTwo specific challenges concerning seamless travel and logistic services.

1. Seamless multimodal travel: The challenge is to enhance the rail traveler experience centered on solutions that respond to customer needs to support anytime, anywhere door to-door intermodal journeys encompassing distinct modes of transportation, including factors as travel planning, one-stop-shop ticketing and booking transactions, en-route travel companion, real-time re-accommodation.

2. Logistic services: The challenge is two-fold:• To acquire a new service-oriented profile for rail freight services based on excellence in

on-time delivery at competitive prices, interweaving its operations with other transport modes, addressing the real needs of the clientele while incorporating innovative value-added services.

• To increase productivity, by addressing current operational and system weaknesses and limitations, including interoperability issues, and finding cost-effective solutions to these problems. Fostering technology transfer from other sectors into rail freight will be crucial for these innovation strategies to be put in place
