Synergies between the EU 7th Research Framework Programme, the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme and the Structural Funds

The aim of the study was to provide background information and advice for the Members of the European Parliament Committee on Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE) on how to improve the coordination and synergy effects between three major EU instruments: The 7th Research Framework Programme (FP7), The Competitiveness and Innovation Programme (CIP); and the Structural Funds. Based on analysis of the official documents the study has identified some key complementarities and expected synergies on the macro level. Furthermore, the study identified a risk of overlapping of actions in favour of inter-regional networking funded under all three programmes in the broad field of research and innovation policies and notably clusters.
