Complete list of FP7 nanotechnology calls for proposal |
(Nanowerk News) Cordis has published an overview list of activities in the Seventh Framework Program (FP7) with calls for proposals in 2008 of direct relevance to nanotechnology.
|
The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) bundles all research-related EU initiatives together under a common roof playing a crucial role in reaching the goals of growth, competitiveness and employment; along with a new Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP), Education and Training programmes, and Structural and Cohesion Funds for regional convergence and competitiveness. It is also a key pillar for the European Research Area (ERA).
|
The broad objectives of FP7 have been grouped into four categories: Cooperation, Ideas, People and Capacities. For each type of objective, there is a specific programme corresponding to the main areas of EU research policy. All specific programmes work together to promote and encourage the creation of European poles of (scientific) excellence.

|
The 42 nanotechnology related calls under FP7 are spread across 10 different programs such as nanomaterials, nanomedicine, nanoelectronics, and impact assessment and societal issues.
|
An overview of all FP7 calls and information on how to find additonal information on calls, how to submit a proposal, an how to get help can be found here on the EU website.
