The framework programmes (FPs)
have been the main financial tools through which the European Union
supports research and development activities covering almost all
scientific disciplines. The FP is proposed by the European
commission and adopted by council and the European Parliament
following a co-decision procedure. |
|
| |
|
|
FPs has been implemented since
1984 and covers a period of five years with the last year of one FP
and the first year of the following FP overlapping. The current FP
is FP6, which will be running up to the end of 2006. it has been
proposed for FP7, however, to run for seven years. It will be fully
operational as of 1 January 2007 and will expire in 2013.

|
|
| |
|
|
4- Capacities.
|
|
| |
|
|
1- Cooperation:
|
|
| |
|
|
* Collaborative
research. |
|
| |
|
|
* Joint technology
initiatives. |
|
| |
|
|
* Coordination of
non-community research programmes.
|
| |
|
* International
cooperation. |

| |
|
- Health.
|
| |
|
- Food, Agriculture
and Biotechnology.
- Information,
Communication technologies.

- Environment.
- Transport.
- Economic Science.
- Security.
|
|
2- Ideas:
|
|
| |
|
The research
carried by individual teams competing at the European level, in all
scientific and technological fields. |
| |
|
3- People:
The activities
supporting training and career development of researchers, referred
to "Marie Curie".
|
| |
|
4- Capacities:
