FP7 Theme 2 - Food, Agriculture, Fisheries and Biotechnology
5
Activity 1: Sustainable production and management of biological resources from land, forest and aquatic environments
Area 1.2: Increased sustainability of all production systems (agriculture, fisheries and aquaculture); Plant health and crop protection
Keywords: improved/novel breeding strategies (e.g. resistance breeding, marker assistant breeding, genetically designing trees with enhanced physiological characteristics), reduce the vulnerability of trees towards the impact of biotic hazards, pests, diseases and improve adaptation to changing environmental conditions due to climate change.
Funding scheme: Large collaborative project Expected impact: adapt production strategies to more rapidly
changing market and environmental conditions.

KBBE-2007-1-2-08: Developing new methods for valuing and marketing of currently non-marketable forest goods and services
Activity 1: Sustainable production and management of biological resources from land, forest and aquatic environments
Area 1.2: Increased sustainability of all production systems (agriculture, fisheries and aquaculture); Plant health and crop protection
Keywords: new valuation methods to assess the socio-economic impact of a wide range of forest externalities, develop new or improved marketing concepts and integrated production methods for non-wood forest products. […] goods, benefits and services such as clean water and air, recreation, hazard protection and prevention, landscape, etc..
Funding scheme: Small collaborative project Expected impact: viable income for forest owners, future stability
of European forests, sustainable rural development

Activity 3: Life Sciences and Biotechnology for sustainable non-food products and processes
Area 3.1 Improved biomass and plant renewables Key-words: […] high added value products made of wood based
fibres with high durability and usability […] replacement of “unsustainable products” […] and hazardous components […] environmentally friendly biobased products
Funding scheme: Large collaborative project Expected impact: diversification of the forest industries and
opportunity to apply post-genomic knowledge in the production of derived forest products

NMP-2007- 4.0-1 : Advanced wood-based composites and their production
Activity 4.4: Integration of technologies for industrial applications Key-words: […] improving production efficiency is not alone sufficient for
maintaining the competitiveness of the European forest-based industry. […] develop new high added value products produced by new resource efficient production concepts. […] intelligent recombination of specific physical properties […] for example replacing lignin with silicon or ceramics in the wood nanostructure can yield radically new product properties.
Funding scheme: Large-scale integrating projects Specific features: […] a significant SME participation is expected Expected impact: placing sustainability at the forefront of cost control and
competitive advantage as well as emphasising its role in industry's social responsibility […] develop several new product families based on new production concepts that exploit the potential of wood-based composites across a variety of applications in the health, electronics and food sectors, as well as in the fields of construction, furniture, packaging, speciality papers, vehicles and textiles.

ENERGY.2007.3.3.1 : Forest-based biorefinery
ACTIVITY ENERGY 3: Renewable Fuel Production AREA ENERGY 3.3: Biorefinery The biorefinery concept aims at maximising the value derived
fromer biomass feedstock by using all of its components. Key-words: Development of advanced fractionation and
conversion technologies to be integrated in a pulp mill for the combined production of new bioproducts and biofuels
Funding scheme: Large collaborative project with predominant R&D component
Expected impact: Maximise renewable energy output from pulp mills, optimising economics of total process

How to promote FTP within FP7
How to work for Programs and Calls.
• Prepare FTP’s priorities based on its SRA
• In Brussels» Commission» Advisory Group members» EU Parliament
• Through countries (NSGs)» Program Committee members» Advisory Group members» Permanent representation in Brussels» Members of the EU Parliament
Encourage more from the sector to become evaluators.

Task of a National Support Group
Integration of stakeholders • Industries, forest owners, SMEs• Scientific community• National agencies
Prioritisation of research themes from a national perspective (National Research Agenda) and coordination with the European SRA.
Facilitate funding activities. Contact and networking on national level with other technology platforms
or similar initiatives (e.g. regional clusters). Support project development and consortia buildung Introduce, inform about and promote FTP and its SRA in your country,
e.g. contacts with politicians, high level authorities, public financiers etc. Promote FTP database.

FTP’s project database
Keep track of European FTP projects. Keep track of national FTP projects as an option. Web-based open tool both for input of projects and
queries. Possible to introduce a project in max. 15 minutes. Every project, which follows the FTP criteria, gets an
unique identification number. Possible to list and follow projects after country, value
chain, research area and key words. The software will have a minor one time cost.
