  1. EURADE How to form a consortium Maastricht University – Centre for Contract Research Professional acquisition and management of research funding is both a complex process as well as an overall new mindset! The Centre for Contract Research manages this process and assists in the further development of such a mindset.

  2. EU Funding: FP 7 • FP7 stands for Seventh Framework Programme for Research & Technological Development • The EU’s main instrument for funding research in Europe • Supports research in selected priority areas • Implemented by the European Commission (EC) • Running from 2007 to 2013 • Total budget = 53,2 Euro • An important budget increase from FP6

  3. FP 7: Structure • Made up of 4 main specific programmes • Plus a specific programme on nuclear research (Euratom &JRC) • Integration of the international dimension into all specific programmes • The budget of the “Cooperation” specific programme is the largest one (around 60% of the total budget)

  4. FP7 Main programmes and themes

  5. FP7 Budget outline maximum EC financial participation € 50521 million (80389 million CAD) nuclear research and training activities € 2751 million (4377 million CAD)

  6. What types of FP 7 projects exist? • Collaborative Projects (CPs) Research projects, Integrated Projects (IPs): ambitious, large scale projects, objective driven research • Specific Targeted Research Project (STREPs): objective driven research more limited in scope than IPs • Specific International Cooperation Action (SICAs): R&D projects with developing countries or emerging economies (ICPC) • Networks of Excellence (NoEs) Instruments to overcome the fragmentation of the European research landscape in a given area

  7. What types of FP 7 projects exist? (2) • Coordination & Support Actions (CSAs) • Coordination Action (CAs): coordination of research activities (events / studies / expert groups etc.) • Specific Support Action (SSAs): support to research activities and policies (designed to underpin the implementation of FP 7) (fact findings / feasibility studies / data dissemination etc.)

  8. (Minimum) conditions for participation • At least 3 independent legal entities from 3 different EU Member States (MS) or Associated Countries (AC) • provided this minimum has been achieved, any number of additional participants from other countries can be included • interest organizations & entities established under Community law)
