Long Description: 
FP7 is the EU's main instrument for funding research in Europe and it will run   
from 2007 to 2013.   
   
FP7 is designed to respond to Europe’s employment needs and competitiveness.  FP7 supports research in selected priority areas - the aim being to make, or 
keep, the EU as a world leader in those sectors. How is FP7 made up? FP7 is made up of 4 main blocks of activities forming 4 specific programmes plus a fifth specific
programme on nuclear research (see topics above).
Eligibility:
Open to korganisations in the EU 25 and EEA countries associated with the FP7 (e.g. Norway, Finalnd).  Particpation is also open to third countries, but usually 
on a self-funding basis.
