AN INFORMATION POINT FOR FP7 IN PALESTINE: Training Seminar of experts

Nicosia, Cyprus - 23-28 November 2008

What is a FP? The FP is the main financial tool through which the EU supports research and development activities covering almost all scientific disciplines.

What may be financed? Frontier of knowledge, technologic development, demonstration activities, innovation activities, improvement of European infrastructures of research, formation of research; almost anything remotely related with science.

Who can participate? Universities, big companies, SME, public administration, (individual) researchers, (research) institutions, non-European-countries scientists, etc.

The 7 FP (2007-2013) 1. COOPERATION:

INSTRUMENTS

Collaborative Research: in all themes through -Collaborative projects; -Networks of Excellence; -Coordination Actions; -Support

Actions

Coordination of non Community research programs: Era-Net; Era-Net+; art.169

Joint Technology Initiatives (art.171; European Technology Platforms)

International Cooperation (opening all themes to Third Countries; actions of specific interest

of regions and macro-areas)

M.Rossano-CNR

INDIRECT ACTIONS

Cooperation: The instruments of the 7FP

1. Collaborative projects

Research aiming at developing new knowledge, technology, products , demonstration activities. Dimensions may vary: Large Scale Integrating Projects (IP) and Small or Medium Scale focused research actions (STREP).

2. Networks of excellenceTheir purpose is the durable integration of participants’ research activities. A formal committment is required.

M.Rossano-CNR

INDIRECT ACTIONS

3 Coordination and Support Actions

They are aimed at supporting or coordinating activities and policies in S/T , preparation of future actions, dissemination of results (networking, exchanges, conferences, studies and so on). They may be presented by a consortium or a single organisation.

They aim at developing and strengthening the coordination of national and regional research programmes in two ways: 1. Providing a framework for actors implementing public research programmes to improve coordination through new ERA-NETs or by broadening and deepening existing ERA-NETs; 2.Providing, in a limited number of cases, additional EU financial support to participants who create a common fund for the purpose of joint calls for proposals among national and regional programmes (‘ERA-NET PLUS’).

Era-Net; Era-Net+


M.Rossano-CNR

INDIRECT ACTIONS

Art.169

The aim is integrating parts of national and regional programmes for implementing jointly, together with the EC, a real European research programme. The actions supported may cover subjects not directly linked to the ten themes if they have a sufficient EU added value. They can enhance the comple-mentarity and synergy between FP7 and activities carried out under intergovernmental structures such as EUREKA and COST.

Art.171/Joint Technology Initiatives (JTI)

They are aimed at combining private sector investment and/or national and EU public funding (including grant from the FP and loan from the EIB) . Joint Technology Initiatives may be decided on the basis of Article 171 of the Treaty or on the basis of the Specific Programme Decisions in accordance with Article 166 of the Treaty.


M.Rossano-CNR

The objective is to reinforce excellence, dynamism and creativity in European research and improve the attractiveness of Europe for the best researchers from both European and third countries, as well as for industrial research investment. The implementation

is by European Research Council. The support is aimed at encouraging investigator driven, or bottom-up research on

iniziative of researchers.
