News archive - News FP7 calls for new "Cooperation" projects
The specific FP7 programme on 'Cooperation' supports all types of research activities carried out by different research bodies in trans-national cooperation and aims to gain or consolidate leadership in key scientific and technology areas.
Several new calls are currently open. Most of them will close in December 2008 or in the first quarter of 2009. Read more...
The Cooperation programme 'Cooperation" is sub-divided into ten distinct themes. Each theme is operationally autonomous but aims to maintain coherence within the Cooperation Programme and allowing for joint activities cutting across different themes, through, for example, joint calls.
The ten identified themes reflect the most important fields of knowledge and technology where research excellence is particularly important to improve Europe’s ability to address its social, economic, public health, environmental and industrial challenges of the future:
