Framework Programme 7 (FP7)

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 Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) is designed to support a wide range of participants: from universities, through public authorities to small enterprises and researchers in developing countries.
