Structure of EU Funding Schemes

◦ Current R&D funding programme: FP7 (2007-2013)

◦ Successor: Horizon 2020 (2014-2020)

◦ FP7 is organized around 4 categories:

– COOPERATION

– IDEAS http://erc.europa.eu/

– PEOPLE http://ec.europa.eu/research/mariecurieactions/

– CAPACITIES

Call for Proposals vs. Open Scheme

◦ Most EU funding is available via Call for Proposals (CfP), only a small number are open schemes

◦ CfP are published online and can be accessed through the Research Participant Portal: http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/portal/

◦ CfP/ Project life-cycle

1. Publication 2. Submit proposal within deadline (usually ~6 months) 3. Evaluation 4. Selection 5. Negotiation 6. Implementation 7. Review

Access to EU Funding

◦ Principles of access to EU funding– All areas of FP7 open to the participation of ASEAN

researchers and/or research organisations– Most ASEAN countries are 'International Cooperation

Partner Country' (ICPC) except Singapore and Brunei (‘industrialised countries’, receive funding only in exceptional cases)

◦ International dimension: General & targeted Opening of Calls– 1. General Opening: Activities open to international

cooperation– 2. Targeted Opening (A) : Activities with a focus on

international cooperation, including but not restricted to ASEAN countries

– 3. Targeted Opening (B) : Activities with a focus on international cooperation specifically targeting ASEAN countries

Opportunities for ASEAN Countries

◦ How can I participate?– As a public or private entity as part of an international

cooperative project through the COOPERATION and CAPACITIES programmes

– As a single research group under the IDEAS programme– As an individual researcher in the PEOPLE programme

◦ Most promising topical areas– Health– FAB (Food, Agriculture and Biotechnology)– Energy– Environment (one call specifically targeted for ASEAN:

ENV.2013.6.5-4 Knowledge platforms, networking and uptake of research results for more strategic international R&I cooperation)
