What’s new in FP7 ? Main new elements compared to FP6: • Annual budget from EUR 5 billion ►7 billion (mostly less in beginning years, more at the end) • Duration extended to seven years (2007 – 2013) • Basic research (~ EUR 1.5 billion per year) • New infrastructures possible • Simplification of procedures planned • No additional cost model anymore
FP7 2007 - 2013 Specific Programmes Cooperation – Collaborative research Ideas – Frontier Research People – Human Potential Capacities – Research Capacity + JRC (non-nuclear) JRC (nuclear) Euratom
Cooperation – Collaborative research 9 Thematic Priorities Health Food, agriculture and biotechnology Information and communication technologies Nanosciences, nanotechnologies, materials and new production technologies Energy + Environment (including climate change) Transport (including aeronautics) Socio-economic sciences and the humanities Security and space + Euratom: Fusion energy research, nuclear fission and radiation protection
Ideas – Frontier Research • Frontier research • Support to individual teams, to promote excellence through Europe-wide competition • Dedicated implementation structure (Executive Agency) • Independent scientific governance (Scientific Council) • Simplified grant mechanism
ERC Scientific Council • Independent; respected personalities, reflecting the full scope of European research • Responsible for scientific strategy, oversight and guarantee of quality in scientific decision-making • Prior to FP7 decision, would act as advisory body in the development of the “Ideas” programme
People– Human Potential Initial training of researchers Marie Curie Networks Life-long training and career development Individual Fellowships Co-financing of regional/national/international programmes Industry-academia pathways and partnerships Industry-Academia Scheme International dimension Outgoing International Fellowships; Incoming International Fellowships International Cooperation Scheme; Reintegration grants Specific actions Excellence awards
1. Research Infrastructures Support to existing research infrastructures: Transnational Access Integrating activities Capacities – Research Capacity Research e-infrastructures Support to new research infrastructures: Construction of new research infrastructures and major updates of existing ones Design studies
