and structuring
Cooperation – Collaborative research
• Under each theme there will be sufficient flexibility to address
both Emerging needs and Unforeseen policy needs
• Dissemination of knowledge and transfer of results will be supported
in all thematic areas
• Support will be implemented across all themes through:
Collaborative research
(Collaborative projects; Networks of Excellence; Coordination/support actions)
Joint Technology Initiatives
Coordination of non-Community research programmes
(ERA-NET; ERA-NET+; Article 169)
International Cooperation
Joint Technology
Initiatives
Hydrogen
and Fuel Cells for a
Sustainable Energy
Future
Global Monitoring
for Environment
and Security
Aeronautics and
Air Transport
Towards new
Nanoelectronics
Approaches
Innovative Medicines
for the Citizens
of Europe

Research Infrastructures
Research for the benefits of SMEs
Regions of knowledge
Research potential
Science in Society
Activities of International Cooperation
1. Research Infrastructures
Support to existing research infrastructures:
Transnational Access
Integrating activities
Research e-infrastructures
Support to new research infrastructures:
Construction of new research infrastructures and
major updates of existing ones
Design studies
2. Research for the benefit of SMEs
Research for SMEs
Research for SME associations
Under the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme (CIP):
“Exploratory” awards
Promote optimal participation in the Cooperation programme
Promote assistance to SMEs by networks of intermediaries
3. Regions of Knowledge
Development of regional “research-driven clusters”
Two objectives for European regions:
Strengthen their capacity for
investing in RTD and carrying
out research activities
Maximising their potential for
a successful involvement of
their operators in European
research projects
Research Potential
Transnational two-way secondments and recruitment
Research equipment and the material environment
Workshops and conferences for knowledge transfer
“Evaluation facilities”
5. Science in Society
Strengthening and improving the European science system
Broader engagement political and societal issues (inc. ethical issues)
Science and technology and their place in society
Gender research and the role of women in research
Science education – curiosity and the participation of young people
Policy for the role and engagement of universities
Improved communication
6. Activities of International Cooperation
“Horizontal” support actions and measures not
carried out in the Cooperation or People programmes
Two interdependent objectives:
Support competitiveness
through strategic partnerships
with 3rd countries in selected
fields and by engaging the
best 3rd country scientists to
work in and with Europe
Address specific problems
that 3rdcountries face or
that have a global character,
on the basis of mutual interest
and mutual benefit
