Framework Programme 7
What is FP7?
• Main EU-level tool for meeting ‘European Research Area’ objectives
• Aims to build the ‘knowledge triangle’ (research, innovation, education)
• Designed to complement activities in EU Member States, as well as other EU policies• Lifelong Learning• Competitiveness and Innovation (CIP)• European Institute of Innovation and Technology• National funding
• FP7 contains a significant international dimensionFP

FP7: Application Process
General Trends to Expect until 2013
Innovation Union priorities• Future FP7 calls will reflect Innovation Union priorities• Likely to see more topics which lay the basis for innovation• Examples: Eco-innovation call in Environment, ERC Proof of
Concept, Demonstration in Research for the Benefit of SMEs
Involving industry• More topics which specify that SMEs must be involved• For example, topics in FAFB theme with minimum budget to SMEs• Also a focus on dissemination and communication of results
Higher budget• FP7 budget structured to increase in 2012 and 2013• Likely to see more proposals submitted, but more funded as well• Effect of national funding situation on both application numbers
and budget?

SSH Approach for 2010-2013
New approach:• Identifies important Societal Challenges for the EU
to be addressed by specific set of research actions• Work Programmes will still include some topics to be
addressed by smaller collaborative projects and CSA
But:
Main funding scheme to be used = Collaborative Projects (Large Scale Integrating Research Projects)
• Four to five years in duration• Minimum EC contribution = € 5,500,000 (note –
less than in previous calls)• At least 7 partners from 7 MS/ACs

SSH 2012 call
• Based on four priorities• Innovation Union in support of smart growth• Inclusive and sustainable growth• Reshaping the European economy & strengthening the political
unity of the EU• Support for developing the external policies of the EU
• Two calls: • one for large-scale projects (FP7-SSH-2012-1): €39 million• one for small-medium-scale projects and CSAs (FP7-SSH-2012-
2): €48 million - maximum funding limits in WP for all topics
• Funding allows for one project per large-scale challenge, one-two per topic
• Deadline for both calls = 2 February 2012

• To support projects which enable SMEs to carry out demonstration activities before a product enters the market
• Activities can include: testing of product-like prototypes, implementation of new technical solutions or market studies/business plans
• SME must take the lead within the consortium• Project duration foreseen to be 1.5 to 2 years• In 2012 call, this is only open to SMEs/SME Associations

FP7: Finances
FP Finances – Key Principles
• Co-financing principle:• Usually based on reimbursement of direct and indirect costs • Lump sums or flat rates in certain actions
• Balancing EC and own contribution• No need for ‘hard cash’ own contribution• No profit• No commercial activities• Different project types/funding schemes• EC principles of eligible costs and non-eligible costs• Remember that fEC is not the same as full reimbursement
