CORDIS - Community Research and Development Information Service, is an information space devoted to European research and development (R&D) activities and technology transfer.
The main aims of CORDIS are:
· to facilitate participation in European research and take-up activities;
· to improve exploitation of research results with an emphasis on sectors crucial to Europe's competitiveness;
· to promote the diffusion of knowledge fostering the technology take-up to enterprises and the societal acceptance of new technology.
CORDIS is the official website through which researchers can obtain funding under the main EU research funding programme. The site contains all the information they need on EU tenders, the process by which researchers propose projects for funding. It also offers interactive online services, bringing together researchers, decision-makers and other key players in research. Since coming online in 1990, CORDIS has provided an essential service for European
research and innovation.
