The Seventh Framework Programme for Research, Technological Development and Demonstration Activities (FP 7) functions as the main instrument for research funding at the European level.
We can work with you to turn a good proposal into one which passes the threshold and is eligible for funding. If you are planning to take part in an FP7 collaborative projects, you should start to think about how your team will be organised and what tools you might need to support your application
