ESA as a funding agency for developm ent of integrated solutions • Most people think of ESA (if at all) in terms of activities in space – but much of our focus is on activities right here on earth much of our focus is on activities right here on earth • ESA has several quite flexible programmes to support the development of new products, services and applications • • Typically these provide 50% funding (100% in some cases) Typically these provide 50% funding (100% in some cases) • The most popular is the Integrated Applications Programme (IAP) • Our aim is to develop solutions to real customer needs, leading to sustainable products and services ESA Unclassified: for Official Use

Funding: Option 1 – Direct Negotiation I n response to continuously open call 1. Industrial consortium with user partner(s) involved Direct negotiation with ESA (iterative process) Direct negotiation with ESA (iterative process) 2. Process: Outline Proposal Outline Proposal Complete Proposal Complete Proposal 3. Funding: Feasibility Studies and Demo projects co- funded by 50% For Feasibility Studies: Research institutions or Universities can apply for 100% funding if no commercial interest in outcome of the project of the project 4. Letter of Support needed from national ESA delegation(s) .

Funding: Option 2 – Open Com petitions 1. User partners with demand but no contact to industry Cooperation agreement with ESA, co - funding from users Cooperation agreement with ESA, co - funding from users 2. Process: Invitation to Tender (open competition) Invitation to Tender (open competition) Full Proposals submitted by industry consortia ESA selects best solution(s) 3. Funding: Feasibility Studies: fully funded – ESA funds between 50% and 100% , depending on level of user co - funding 100% , depending on level of user co - funding Demo projects: ESA co - funding 50% 4.

The VECMAP project Disease vector mapping • • Outbreaks of Chikungunya Outbreaks of Chikungunya • Reunion 2005 - 2006 • Ravenna (Italy) 2007 • Global introductions of disease vectors • • International trade (e.g. eggs in tyres) International trade (e.g. eggs in tyres) • Tourism • Global warming • Need for surveillance, early w arning system s & control • • Vectors survive only in particular ecosystems Vectors survive only in particular ecosystems • Need for spatial prediction maps Asian Tiger Mosquito Asian Tiger Mosquito A. Albopictus, vector for: - West - Nile - Dengue - Chikungunya - Yellow fever - St. Louis Encephalitis

The VECMAP project Users & their needs 1. Academic users 2. Public Health (decision makers) 3. Control agencies - - Critical & nuisance species Critical & nuisance species - Where are they (mosquitoes, larvae, eggs), high resolution - When will eggs hatch & population peak - Cover a greater area with the same budget - - Use less pesticides Use less pesticides Control agencies Control agencies - EID Mediterranee (F) - CAA (I) - CMV (NL)
