EU-RUSSIA Co-ordinated and co-funded projects

The European Commission and the Russian Federal Agency for Science and Innovation will jointly fund two EU-Russia research projects in the area of "Life Sciences, biotechnology and biochemistry for sustainable non-food products and processes": KBBEKBBE--20082008--33--11--04 :04 : Plant Plant -- produced Vaccinesproduced VaccinesKBBEKBBE--20082008--33--22--01: Molecular Modelling for Rational Design of Industrial Enzyme01: Molecular Modelling for Rational Design of Industrial Enzymess

The European Commission and the Russian Federal Agency for Science and Innovation will each reserve a dedicated total budget of up to EUR 4 000 000.

Minimum Number of Participants:2 from different EU Member States or FP-Associated Countries* and 2 from different federal units (provinces, oblasts, republics, territories,

districts, federal cities) from Russia.

• Two Calls are launched, respectively by EC (KBBE-2008-2B) and FASI

• All EU-RU project consortia have to submit their proposals to the FP7 KBBE-2008-2B Call according to the FP7 submission procedure.

• The Russian participants in each project have to submit their corresponding Russian proposal (in Russian) also to the Russian Call to be launched by FASI, according to the Russian rules.

• The Russian Call will have a submission deadline later than the FP7 Call www.fasi.gov.ru

• The Russian participants are advised to submit the corresponding Russian proposals at the same time or as soon as possible after the overall proposal has been submitted by the EU coordinator to the EC.
