  2. The EU’s Seventh Research FrameworkProgramme (FP7, 2007-2013) FP7 is short for: Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development European Union’smain instrument for funding researchin Europe between 2007 and 2013 FP7 supports research in selected priority areas FP7 represents a 41% budget increase from FP6at 2004 prices 11/10/2014 2

  21. FP7 Structure: Funding Schemes CollaborativeProjects (CP): support for research projects carried out by consortia with participants from different countries, aimed at developing new knowledge, new technology, products, demonstration activities or common resources for research. Networks of Excellence (NOE):support for a joint program of activities implemented by a number of research organisations, integrating their activities in a given field, and carried out by research teams in the framework of longer-term cooperation. Coordination &SupportActions(CSA) - : support for activities aimed at coordinating or supporting research activities and policies, such as networking, exchanges, trans-national access to research infrastructures, studies, and conferences. 11/10/2014 21

  26. FP7 | Capacities Research infrastructures Research for the benefit of SMEs Regions of Knowledge Research Potential Science in Society Coherent development of policies Activities of International Cooperation 11/10/2014 26

  27. International Cooperation Budget: €185 million (2007 - 2013) More than 100 countries from all over the world are involved in EU Research Programmes. These activities will continue within the "Cooperation" programme of FP7, which covers the international cooperation actions in the 10 thematic areas and across themes. They will be implemented in coordination with the "Cooperation", "People" and "Capacities" programmes of FP7. 11/10/2014 27

  28. FP7 – What’s new? Main new elements compared to FP6: Duration increased from 5 to 7 years (except for Euratom FP) Annual budget increasedsignificantly New structure: Cooperation, Ideas (ERC), People, Capacities, EuratomandJRCactivities Basic research (~ €1 billion per year): European Research Council Funding of research infrastructures Flexiblefunding schemes Simpler procedures

  29. Key factors for success in applying for FP7 funding Competition is tough: only the best projects get funded • the proposal must address the topic and the work programme (not wishful thinking) • the consortium of partners must be excellent and appropriate for the task (select the right partners) • the proposal must address all 3 criteria • convince the evaluators (don’t rely on reputation) • and, of course, respect the basic rules (deadlines, n° participants, ceilings, length, ethics, …) 11/10/2014 29
