Today is a really an exciting day! Lots of Research WorkProgrammes (FP7) for 2010-11 have been released. This is really now allowing us to start to get in motion and work to deliver the high quality proposals.
I have added a file which contains all the WP (for your convenience). Check it WP2011 – All (save as… or click on the link)
Enjoy the reading!
The European Research Programme (FP7) is a multi-year, multi-billion research programme. It is encouraging research in many different topics, from Health, to ICT, to Space, to Environment and other topics. Is FP7 open to small and medium businesses? Absolutely! And this video will explain why!
The EuroAfrica-ICT and the eI-Africa partnerships are very pleased to bring to your attention a number of developments in the field of Euro-African collaborative research!
