  1. Research Opportunities Through the European Union's 7th Research Framework Programme Indraneel Ghose Delegation of the European Union to India

  2. Europe 2020: Three mutually reinforcing priorities – five targets • 3% of EU's GDP invested in R&D • The "20/20/20" climate/energy • targets should be met • 75 % of the population aged 20- • 64 should be employed • Share of early school leavers • under 10% and at least 40% of • the younger generation with a • tertiary degree • 20 million less people should be at • risk of poverty

  3. What is the Research Framework Programme? • It is the main European instrument for funding research in Europe • It is designed to respond to Europe's needs for competitiveness and quality of life

  4. FP basic principles • Scientific Excellence • Transnational cooperation • Public calls, peer review, competitive selection • Cost-sharing • Participants own the results • Completely open to international participation

  5. Framework Programme 7 (2007 – 2013)

  6. Cooperation Programme – Collaborative Research • 10 Thematic Priority Areas • Health 6050 M€ • Food, Agriculture, Fisheries and Biotechnology 1935 M€ • 3. Information and Communication Technologies 9110M€ • Nanosciences, Nanotechnologies, Materials and 3500M€ • new ProductionTechnologies • Energy 2300M€ • Environment (including Climate Change) 1900M€ • Transport (including Aeronautics) 4180M€ • Socio-Economic Sciences and the Humanities 610M€ • Space 1430M€ • Security 1350M€

  7. Activities in the Energy thematic priority area Hydrogen and fuel cells CO2 capture and storage technologies for zero emission power generation Renewable electricity generation Clean coal technologies Renewable fuel production Smart energy networks Renewables for heating and cooling Energy savings and energy efficiency Knowledge for energy policy making Horizontal Programme actions http://ec.europa.eu/research/energy/index_en.cfm http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/energy/home_en.html
