OLAE + Competition (Plastic Electronics) - European competition for collaborative R&D funding 

OLAE + is a transnational call for collaborative research and development proposals under the European Commission's ERA-NET Plus scheme.
 
ERA-NET Plus schemes are aimed at developing and strengthening the coordination of national research activities with enhanced trans-national funding by "topping up" with Community funds as an incentive from the Commission.
 
The estimated budget for this programme including contributions from the European Commission is at least €18 million.
 
The competition will be open to participants from Austria, Catalonia, Flanders, Germany, Israel, Poland, Sweden and the UK (the participating countries/regions).
 
The call is organised as a competition for funding and will be implemented jointly by the national funding bodies.
 
The Technology Strategy Board expect to fund a mixture of small and large projects, with total costs typically in the range €0.5m to €3m.
 
Projects must be bi- or multinational, collaborative, application-orientated and pre-competitive.
 
Applications will need to satisfy general and national criteria to be eligible for funding.
 
The call is expected to be published at the beginning of 2012 and projects are expected to start at the beginning of 2013.
