FUNDING SCHEMES

FUNDING SCHEMES

• Collaborative projects (CP)• Networks of Excellence (NoE)• Collaborative projects for specific cooperation actions dedicated to international cooperation partner countries (SICA)• Coordination and support actions (CSA)• Research for the benefit of specific groups, e.g. SMEs

COLLABORATIVE PROJECTS (CP)

• Objective driven research– New knowledge, new technology products,

• Activities: research, demonstration, training, innovation linked activities, management

• Small or medium scale • Large scale integrating projects• 24-60 months

COLLABORATIVE PROJECTS (2)• At least 3 independent legal entities, each of which established in a Member State (MS) or Associated Country (AC) and no two of which are established in the same MS or AC

COLLABORATIVE PROJECTS FOR SPECIFIC INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION

(SICA)

• At least 4 independent legal entities; of these 2 must be established in different MS or AC. The other two must be established in different international cooperation partner countries

• >>see annex 1 of the Work Programme

COORDINATION AND SUPPORT ACTIONS (CSA)

• Coordination actions: Consistent set of activities focussing on coordination of research activities and policies– networking, coordination and dissemination activities

• Support actions: normally focused on one specific activity and often one specific event– e.g. conferences, workshops, working groups,

studies, fact finding monitoring, dissemination activities etc.

• No funding of research, development or demonstration• Duration: few months – 48 months

COORDINATION AND SUPPORT ACTIONS (CSA)

• Coordination actions:– At least 3 independent legal entities, each of which is established in a MS or AC, and no two of which are establised in the same MS or AC

• Support actions:– At least 1 independent legal entity
