| The 7th European Union Framework Programme is the main research funding programme of the EU. ECTS EU Grant Options provides an overview of funding opportunities within the FP7 programme, of particular interest for researchers in the bone field. For more information please refer to the CORDIS website.
FP7 is organised into four main areas:
Cooperation – collaborative research
People – research training and mobility
Ideas – basic research, through the new European Research Council
Capacities – research infrastructures, SME specific measures, international cooperation, regions, policy development
OVERVIEW OF TYPES OF PROJECT
Collaborative projects –these can be small, medium or large-sized projects for undertaking of research, conducted by international consortiums of partners
Coordination Action – networks for coordination of ongoing research, dissemination of results etc
Support Action – smaller projects to assist in the future planning of European research funding policy, impact studies and stimulation of participation (e.g. in new member states and among SMEs)
