News archive - FP7 Topic Highlight: Creating cohesive links and common knowledge between potential partners in EU FP collaborative projects

In the WBC-INCO.NET Calls section (http://wbc-inco.net/object/call/open) we provide information and links on all open calls, including those in FP7. ALL CALLS and ALL TOPICS are open for participation of researchers from the Western Balkans. Nevertheless, in our news area we would like to higlight some topics which are of specific relevance to the region. Don't miss the particular chances of participation!

The topic in the Transport workprogramme "Creating cohesive links and common knowledge between potential partners in EU FP collaborative projects" (AAT.2013.7-4) calls for a supporting action (deadline 14.11.2012) to involve regions that lack mutual knowledge. It includes a mapping of capacities, identification of regions with low participation, linkinging East and West Europe, involving regional associations, etc. and seems therefore very suitable to involve stakeholders from the WBC. The maximum availale funding is EUR 0.6 million and only one project will be funded.
 

AAT.2013.7-4. Creating cohesive links and common knowledge between potential partners in EU Framework Programme Collaborative Projects
CSA-SA - Call: FP7-AAT-2013-RTD-1

Content and scope: The goal of the action is to put in direct contact potential coordinators and potential partners in EU Framework Programme Collaborative Projects in the field of Aeronautics and Air Transport (AAT), which are established in regions that lack of mutual knowledge. The project will first establish a thematic mapping of regional capacities and identify the regions which have a low participation in Collaborative Projects compared to their capacity and which would benefit from better connections in the different technology areas, in particular between Eastern and Western Europe. The major part of the action effort should bear on the organisation of workshops, plant and factory tours centred on defined technology areas of common interest (e.g. engine, aero-structures, avionics, etc.), organised locally and aiming at creating direct links between research stakeholders from industry, academia and research centres. The consortium partnership should be composed of regional associations, with a suitable balance between the regions.

Expected impact: The action is expected to reinforce networks of actors and widening opportunities in research and innovation, thus strengthening the European Research Area in the field of AAT.
