5th Call for Joint Projects and Structural Measures Proposals is open
The overall objective of the programme is to support the modernisation of higher education in the EU's surrounding area. The Tempus programme promotes institutional cooperation and focuses on the reform and modernisation of higher education systems in the partner countries.
In particular, the programme will promote voluntary convergence with EU developments in the field of higher education, deriving from the Europe 2020 Strategy, the strategic framework for European cooperation in education and training (ET 2020) and the Bologna process.
The purpose of this call for proposals is to promote multilateral cooperation among higher education institutions, authorities and organisations from EU Member States and partner countries with the focus on the reform and modernisation of higher education.
The two principal instruments for cooperation through this Tempus call for proposals are Joint Projects and Structural Measures and the total budget available for the co-financing of projects is estimated at EUR 78,1 million with a financial contribution from the European Union that cannot exceed 90 % of the total eligible costs. A co-financing of a minimum of 10 % of the total eligible costs is thus needed.
Applications for Joint Projects and Structural Measures must be submitted to the Executive Agency (EACEA) no later than 23 February 2012, 12.00 (Brussels time).

Interregional SME Supply Clusters Along the Northeast Corridor
Access barriers for SMEs to European supply markets are key issues addressed by the project. They cause competitive disadvantages for Baltic SMEs and their regions compared to suppliers acting in large regions. Despite the 2004 adopted EU-package of directives on public procurement, designed to reduce the administrative burden and to make procurement systems more transparent and easier for SMEs and the Small Business Act for Europe (SBA) from June 2008, barriers are still effective. BalticSupply seeks to encourage SMEs to be more innovative and to engage in new sectors and niche markets.
BalticSupply pursues an integrated and proactive approach to shaping the future of supply logistics and linked innovation policies and competitiveness promotion strategies in the Baltic Sea Region (BSR). The SME Supply Cluster concept is an innovative instrument for effective regional economic development and SME promotion in the BSR. BalticSupply cooperates closely with the North Sea Supply Connect project, submitted in the parallel Interreg North Sea Region Programme.

BONITA
Baltic Organisation and Network of Innovation Transfer Association
Research cooperation as well as knowledge transfer between public research organisations and industry is insufficiently applied within the European innovation system. In order to develop the Baltic Sea Region into a high-tech region the available scientific knowledge needs to be successfully transferred into practice. Even though universities are important inventors and users of new technologies, services and products, their innovations often are not transferred for commercialisation. This can be partially explained by a lack of facilitating structures, also commercial mindsets of academic staff can sometimes be improved. At the same time vast innovation potential of SMEs is not fully exploited due to missing resources.
The BONITA project addresses these deficiencies by bridging the knowledge gaps between universities, laboratories, industrial actors and policy makers. The project consortium represents a balanced mix of institutions responsible for regional technology transfer.

Renewing the Economic Prosperity of Port Cities
The New Epoc project was funded within the European Interreg III C programme and has since from
2003 - 2007 provided a successful forum for the exchange of good practice and administrative innovation
regarding the re-development of urban brownfields, maritime heritage and social inclusion.
Key findings of the project are:
NEW EPOC delivers in four key areas an integrated tool box for port cities which will support in a very practical way the new EU maritime policy:
MarMuCommerce
Making Maritime Museums Commercially Competitive
Public heritage institutions are increasingly asked to contribute self generated income to their budget. However, in many cases their public and non-profit character does not allow them to become involved in commercial operations and they often lack entrepreneurial competence. MarMuCommerce aimed to bridge this gap by creating a business model that introduces commercial marketing techniques and tools to public institutions.
The results of MarMuCommerce allowed museums and other regional heritage institutions to improve their market opportunities. This enabled them to contribute to the creation of employment and attract new visitors to the region while working jointly with other public or private initiatives concerning the economic revitalisation of former port areas. In this sense, MarMuCommerce contributed to the enhancement of regional development, improving the effectiveness of region al policies and instruments through the transfer of knowledge and joint development on new approaches.
The Partners consist of maritime heritage institutions and Universities from Bremerhaven, Barcelona, Dunkerque, Gdansk, Portsmouth, Taranto, specialised in exhibitions and cultural management, SME support or entrepreneurial training. A substantial amount of time was spent on analysing legal set-ups and how to create options for commercial engagement without losing non-profit status.

Dryport
A modal shift in practice
The project's aim is to develop, design and set effective Hinterland inter-modal freight transport nodes - dryports - which are fully integrated with the Gateway freight handling systems, to adapt a public concept to a private sector model, and to integrated dryports into the EU Motorways of the Sea concept.
The project includes the identification of suitable dryport land sites in the North Sea Region, to start a planning process that will support the increased number of logistics hubs, to assess the environmental and socio-economic impact of improved inter-modality, to develop a business model blueprint and to develop and start-up a IT system.
All project activities will contribute to connecting the dryports with the short sea shipping system to shift interregional transport from road to sea.
