FP7

The European Union's Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (time span: 2007-2013). FP7 is the European Union's main instrument for funding research in Europe from 2007 until 2013. FP7 is structured in four types of activities: trans-national cooperation on policy-defined themes ('Cooperation'), investigator-driven research based on initiatives of the research community ('Ideas'), support of individual researchers ('People'), and support of research capacities ('Capacities').
