 FP7 is the short name for the Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development. This is the EU's main instrument for funding research in Europe and it will run from 2007-2013. FP7 is also designed to respond to Europe's employment needs, competitiveness and quality of life.
This new legislative package was adopted on 18 December 2006 and applies from 1 January 2007. The Commission shall issue calls for project proposals (or for indirect actions) in accordance with the requirements laid down in the relevant specific programmes and work programmes. The first of these is expected at the beginning of 2007.
With a total budget of €50.521 billion, under FP7, the highest portion of the budget will go to information and communication technologies (€9.11 billion), followed by health (€6.05 billion), transport (€4.18 billion) and nanotechnology (€3.5 billion), energy (€2.3 billion), and food, agriculture and biotechnology (€1.935 billion). Other budget lines include environmental research (€1.8 billion), space (€1.43 billion), security (€1.35 billion), and social-economic sciences and humanities (€610 million).
