Launch
of the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7)
 The
Framework Programmes (FPs) have been the main financial tools
through which the European Union supports research and development
activities covering almost all scientific disciplines. The
FP is proposed by the European Commission and adopted by
Council and the European Parliament. FPs have been implemented
since 1984. FP7 will be fully operational as of 1 January 2007
and it has been proposed to run for seven years.
It is designed to build on the achievements of its predecessor
towards the creation of the European
Research Area, and carry
it further towards the development of the knowledge economy
and society in Europe. The overarching aim is to contribute
to sustainable development, comprising nine high level themes
such as health, food, agriculture and biotechnology.
