The complex challenges facing Europe and the planet as a whole as well as the development of the tomorrow’s environment demand significant resources and intelligent synergies in scientific research and technological innovation.

This is why the European Union supports multicultural, transdisciplinary projects that unite partners from different countries and professional backgrounds for the development of high quality knowledge.

Such conditions are especially favourable for creative and efficient research. The many opportunities offered by the 7th Framework Programme of Research and Development FP7 are there for the taking.

Businesses, economic associations, universities, research performing organisations and individual researchers can get funded by FP7.
