  1. EU – 7th Framework Program 2007 - 2013

  2. What is FP7? • FP7 is short for: Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development • It is the European Union’s main instrument for funding research in Europe between 2007 and 2013 • FP7 supports research in selected priority areas • It represents a 41% budget increase from FP6 at 2004 prices

  3. New elements in FP7 vis-à-vis FP6 • Duration increased from 5 to 7 years • Annual budget increased significantly • New structure: Cooperation, Ideas (ERC), People, Capacities, Euratom and JRC activities • Basic research (~ €1 billion per year): European Research Council • Funding of research infrastructures • Flexible funding schemes • Simpler procedures

  4. Some facts about Israel & the Framework Programs • Israel joined the 4th FP in August 1996 and became the first country, outside the EU, associated to this program. • These programs are now the 2nd largest funding source for Israeli universities, after the ISF. • About 75% of the Israeli academy international collaboration used to be with the U.S.A, and only about 25% with Europe. Today the relations are almost equal.

  5. Advantages for Israel • Accessibility to the European market • “Getting closer to Europe” – understanding Europe • Exposure to and partnership in new technologies • Leverage for implementation of big, visionary and money-abundant projects

  6. Budgets for the different FP’s Israel joined half way FP4 - 1996
