EU-China:2 main types of S&T cooperation using FP7
“Bottom up”: openness of the EU 7th Research FP
All calls open for participation by researchers from all countries.
For certain partner countries – including China – participation in FP7 projects can be partly funded by the EU.
“Top down”: EU-China strategic S&T Cooperation: joint / parallel Calls for Proposals based on shared priority and co-investment of resources
Targeted opening, Twining, Coordinated calls
