The Framework Programmes
FP7 14 projects €4m
FP6 174 projects €44m
FP7 112 projects €40m
FP6 168 projects €27.3 m
FP7 98 projects €37.9 m
Case study
•University able to use position to link regional SME to a large project
•Brings SME (and University) into contact with a large multinational (and other partners)- future opportunities
•Small role for SME turned into a much larger opportunity- University had real power and influence
•Commercialisation opportunities (patents and new product range)
Offering
• Links to future FP7 possibilities
• Specific FP7 project management and financial expertise
• Regional universities have real science and technology expertise
• Support for bid writing where a good project fit is identifiable
Offering
• Events– Nano4Energy 28 June– Medical Device and Healthcare Technologies
Open Day 30 June
• Contact Nanofactory to discuss project ideas- ideas should come before funding!
• Speak with potential collaborators/ customers/ supply chain
