New FP7 Calls for Proposals on CORDIS

FNR contact on FP7 support measures for the public sector

The European Commission has launched a series of new calls for proposals in July 2009 in nearly all of its FP7 schemes. Open calls can be accessed through the following link on CORDIS: http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/dc/index.cfm

Support for interested researchers is given by the National Contact Point (NCP) in Luxembourg, Luxinnovation.
For the PEOPLE programme, Luxinnovation and the FNR act as joint National Contact Point.
The respective contact persons of the NCP with their coordinates are listed under the following link: http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/get-support_en.html

Interested researchers should be aware that there exist support measures for the private and public sector to refund part of the preparation costs for EU proposals, if these are submitted under the FP7 calls.

Financial support may also comprise the involvement of a professional agency helping to prepare the proposal, in case the coordinator is a Luxembourg company or research institution. An advance request has to be submitted under the respective support measures at Luxinnovation or the FNR:
