Title: FP7: an overview of the main European financial tool to support your research ideas
Speaker: Maria João Fernandes
Affiliation: Assistent to the Board European and International Scientific Affairs, IBET
Abstrat:
Research Framework Programmes are the main instrument at EU level aimed specifically at supporting research and development. They have two major strategic objectives: strengthening the scientific and technological base of European industry and encouraging its international competitiveness, through research that supports EU policies.
The 7th Framework Programme for Research, Technological Development and Demonstration Activities (FP7) will last from 2007 until 2013 and has a total budget of over € 50 billion. The money will (for the most part) be spent on grants to research actors all over Europe and beyond, in order to co-finance research, technological development and demonstration projects. Grants are determined on the basis of calls for proposals and a peer review process, which is highly competitive.
The main objective of this presentation is to provide an overview of the main structure of FP7 and to discuss and suggest ways in which the different schemes could work for IBET and ITQB researchers and research groups.
