News archive - Online Consultation on Simplification of the EU RTD Framework Programmes
In 2010, the European Commission intends to publish a Communication on possibilities for simplifying the implementation of the EU RTD Framework Programme/s. The Commission has opened an online consultation for collecting ideas and suggestions from stakeholders (deadline: September 15).
Ideas are sought under two broad headings:
- Improvements to processes and systems that could be implemented under the current legal basis of FP7 (e.g. better guidance and communication, improved workflows, improved IT systems...).
- More profound changes of the modes of implementation of the EU research budget that would require adaptations to the legal basis (in particular the Framework Programme, Rules for Participation, model grant agreements).
