EU Research Programmes FP7 in brief

7th Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (2007-2013) is the main financial tool through which the European Union supports research and development activities, covering almost all scientific disciplines.

The overall amount for Community financial participation in the 7FP is EUR 50 521 million for the period 2007 - 2013

FP7 is organised in four programmes corresponding to four basic components of European research:

• COOPERATION • IDEAS • PEOPLE • CAPACITIES

EU Research Programmes FP7 in brief - COOPERATION

Cooperation is the core of FP7, representing two thirds of the overall budget. It fosters collaborative research across Europe and other partner countries through transnational projects carried out in ten key thematic areas:

• Health• Food, agriculture and fisheries, and biotechnology• Information and communication technologies• Nanosciences, nanotechnologies, materials and new production

techn.• Energy• Environment (including climate change)• Transport (including aeronautics)• Socio-economic sciences and the humanities• Space• Security

ERASMUS STAFF MOBILITY WEEK 2011

EU Research Programmes FP7 in brief - IDEAS

Ideas programme supports “frontier research” on the basis of scientific excellence. Research may be carried out in any area of science or technology and there is no obligation for cross-border partnerships, including engineering, socio-economic sciences and the humanities.

In contrast with the Cooperation programme, there is no obligation for cross-border partnerships. Projects are implemented by “individual teams” around a “principal investigator”.

The programme is implemented via the new European

Research Council (ERC)

ERASMUS STAFF MOBILITY WEEK 2011
