New Booklet Offers More Help For UK Organisations Seeking EU Research and Development Funding
July 01, 2004A new user friendly, plain English guide is now available to help UK companies and organisations decide if they have projects that are likely to be eligible for some of the EUR19 billion funding available under the EU's Framework Programme Six (FP6) programme.
The eight-page booklet - 'FP6 Is It For You?' - is aimed primarily at people and organisations new to European Framework Programme funding. It provides an introduction to FP6 and outlines the types of projects that are eligible for the research and technological development funding.
'FP6 Is It For You?' is available by ringing the FP6UK helpline on 0870-600-6080 or can be downloaded from the website http://fp6uk.ost.gov.uk
The FP6UK website also gives direct, quick and efficient access to the whole raft of support services offered by the UK Government on the EU Framework Programme at the click of a mouse. With simple navigation, it pulls together a wide range of information that was previously scattered over numerous smaller, and sometimes unrelated sites. This includes news; case studies highlighting how current and previous Framework funding has helped other UK organisations; answers to frequently asked questions; a basic library of relevant EU and UK documents; a signposting section indicating where and how to access potential project partners; and a wide range of expert advice provided by National Contact Points (NCPs).
FP6, the current Framework Programme, runs to the end of 2006 and aims to strengthen European research and technological development capability and encourage Europe's international competitiveness. FP6UK has been developed in recognition of the vital importance of this type of research if UK business and industry is to remain competitive on the world stage.
