The Seventh Framework Programme has made announcement of 51 new calls for grants with 4,15 billion € budget in the field of several distinct themes such as agriculture / food, environment, health, energy, information & communication, Socio-economic Sciences and the Humanities within the specific programmes on cooperation, ideas and capacities.
Enterprises, research institutions, universities, public institutions and NGOs will be able to take advantage of 415 billion € in FP7. Collective R&D projects, coordination and support actions will be supported in calls which have been opened on 30th July, 2009. Turkish institutions will be able to benefit from these project supports in the same conditions with EU member states. However, with the projects that will be submitted, Turkish institutions must contribute to technological development not only in Turkey but also in Europe. Also, the programme requires the development of a common project in cooperation with institutions which are located in EU member states or associated states and come from different disciplines.
