What’s new in FP7
•Our global budget of more than €50 billion over 7 years, which represents a significant increase with respect to
FP6 in terms of annual money
•FP7 will last longer, running for seven years rather than four, from 2007 to 2013, allowing for longer term planning of research activities
•A simpler structure, organised into four main programmes: Cooperation, Ideas, People and Capacities
(in addition to the JRC and EURATOM programmes)

What’s new in FP7
•The introduction of the European Research Council (ERC) through the Ideas SP for boosting Basic
Research at European level.
•Simplification in implementing the programme: aspects of this are a unique registration facility for
all prospective participants, the introduction of a unique cost model etc.
•Integration of the international dimension into all four Specific Programmes

Context
•European Research Area
•Enlarged EU
•(Revised) Lisbon Agenda
•Barcelona Target: 3% of GDP for R&D
•Financial perspectives / long term priorities

Key ideas
•“Continuity …”
•Emphasis on increasing competitiveness
•New funding modalities …
•Longer duration (seven years up to 2013)
•Substantial increase in the budget
The European Commission currently manages about 5% of total public spending in R&D in the European Union
The European Union currently invests about 1.9% of GDP in research
