Funding Fundamentals

Innovative Projects

50% support – 75% for an SME, etc

The Commission give their fraction of what is spent

By means of a Grant Agreement with The European Commission

In response to specific calls for Proposals

In Topics identified by The Commission’s Workprogramme

Involving Partners from Multiple Countries

At least 3 (from Member & Associated States)



FP7 ICT Funding Schemes

Collaborative Projects (CP)

To develop new knowledge, new technology, products, demonstration

activities

Two types: Small or medium-scale focused research actions

(STREP), Large-scale integrating projects (IP)

Networks of Excellence (NoE)

To strengthen S&T excellence and to increase efficiency in the use of

resources by restructuring/integration of capacities

Coordination and support actions (CSA)

Aimed at coordinating or supporting research activities and policies

(networking, exchanges, coordination of funded projects, studies,

conferences, etc)

Two types: Coordination Actions (CA), Support Actions (SA)

Described in The Workprogramme



Co-operation

And getting some money to help you do it

Access to missing skills

Zarlink – a newcomer to Framework in 2003

Became Workpackage leader for Body Area Radio

Developed expertise in Body Area Radio

Were recruited by other consortia

Grew their Research Activity threefold

Have launched BAR specific chips

Company research activity in this area retained in Europe

"I can now pick up the phone and discuss the direction of technology

with senior R&D Directors across Europe, you can't put a price on

that.”

Martin Mc Hugh: Business and Product Development Manager



Co-operation
