What is FP7?
The Framework Programme is the main pathway for the European Union to help fund collaborative research and development projects. FP7 will run for 7 years from January 2007. The funding programme is designed to support organisations in Europe undertake research. The budget for FP7 is over €50 billion devoted to individuals and organisations to undertake RTD. The programme runs in parallel with smaller targeted initiatives: The Competitiveness and Innovation Programme and EURATOM.
