EU Research Policy: Implementation
• Framework Programme 7 (FP7) is the EU's main instrument for funding research in Europe and it will run from 2007-2013. FP7 is a key tool designed to respond to Europe's employment needs, competitiveness and quality of life.
• One of the main features of FP7 is to ensure “European added value” so to complement and boost the effectiveness of National research programmes.

EU Research Policy: Implementation
• FP7 is organised in 4 specific programmes:– Co-operation (10 thematic areas
including health, industrial technologies, social science, security, information & communication technologies…)
– Ideas (frontier research)– People (training and mobility)– Capacities (infrastructures)
