Other Information:
The specific programme on 'Cooperation' supports all types of research activities carried out by different research bodies
in trans-national cooperation and aims to gain or consolidate leadership in key scientific and technology areas. FP7 allocates
EUR 32 413 million to the Cooperation programme. The budget will be devoted to supporting cooperation between universities,
industry, research centres and public authorities throughout the EU and beyond. The Cooperation programme is sub-divided into
ten distinct themes. Each theme is operationally autonomous but aims to maintain coherence within the Cooperation Programme
and allowing for joint activities cutting across different themes, through, for example, joint calls. The ten identified themes
reflect the most important fields of knowledge and technology where research excellence is particularly important to improve
Europe’s ability to address its social, economic, public health, environmental and industrial challenges of the future. Their
continued relevance will be guaranteed by relying on a number of sources from the research sector, including the European
Technology Platforms (ETP). Important themes identified in the Strategic Research Agendas (SRAs) developed by the ETPs are
therefore covered by the Cooperation programme.
