Transnational collaborative research remains the core activity of the FP and priority research topics identified on the basis of competitiveness and other Community policy objectives
Emphasis on industry-driven character of Technology Initiatives Overall support to Basic research activities and to a possible new
management mechanism to be set up (ERC) Importance of attracting researchers to Europe Explore complementary funding mechanisms to support new infrastructures
(not only up-grading/access) Improved procedures and management

The background: ‘Europe and Basic Research’, January 2004, COM(2004)
Basic research has an important impact on economic performance
A new funding mechanism is needed at European level
– to reinforce excellence
– based on competitive support to individual teams
– sole criterion for selection should be scientific excellence

Funding Funding SchemesSchemes
1. Collaborative projects– consortia with participants from different countries
– new knowledge, technology, products or common resources for research
– size, scope and internal organisation of projects can vary
2. Networks of Excellence– joint programmes by organisations integrating activities in a given
field
– longer term co-operation
– formal commitment to integrate resources
FP7–NH October 2005- NMP PC - 31
Funding SchemesFunding Schemescontinuedcontinued
3. Coordination and support actions
– networking, exchanges, trans-national access to research infrastructures, studies, conferences, etc.
4. Individual projects
5. Training and career development of researchers
6. Research for the benefit of specific groups (in particular SMEs)
Generally based on calls for proposals
