Joint Technology Initiative
- Joint Technology Initiative
A Joint Technology Initiative (JTI) is a public-private partnership using the 'Joint Undertaking' model. The European Commission has identified JTIs as a new strategy of implementing the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) according to the goals of the Lisbon Strategy to support, in a limited number of cases, large scale initiatives that could not be implemented efficiently, using the other R&D funding mechanisms. A JTI focuses on one specific industrial area, has a well defined objective, addresses a market failure and is funded by a combination of private and public investments.
Active JTIs
In the light of the stage of development of the Strategic Research Agendas of European Technology Platforms at the time of the FP7 proposals, six areas were identified where a JTI could have particular relevance: hydrogen and fuel cells, aeronautics and air transport, innovative medicines, nanoelectronics (ENIAC) , embedded systems (ARTEMIS) and global monitoring for environment and security.
* Fuel Cells and Hydrogen (FCH)
* Aeronautics and Air Transport (Clean Sky) [http://www.cleansky.eu/index.php?arbo_id=83&set_language=en]
* Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI)
* Nanoelectronics Technology 2020 (ENIAC)
* Embedded Computing Systems (ARTEMIS)
* Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES)
JTI at creation stage
* Energy Efficient Buildings (E2B)
Principles
Because JTIs are by principle open consortia, any legal entity established in a European Union Member State or country associated to the Seventh Framework Programme is eligible to become a member of a Joint Undertaking during its operation. Furthermore, each JTI will organise open calls for proposals. The principles of openness, transparancy, competition and excellence should be reflected in the governance structures and the project selection procedures.
JTIs facilitate the creation of critical mass in the areas concerned by developing a coordinated approach to research across Europe. In doing so, they strengthen the competitive position of European industry, consequently making Europe a more attractive location for inward investment in research.
