7th EU Framework Programme (FP7)
International Cooperation

The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) bundles all research-related EU initiatives together under a common roof playing a crucial role in reaching the goals of growth, competitiveness and employment; along with a new Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP), Education and Training programmes, and Structural and Cohesion Funds for regional convergence and competitiveness. It is also a key pillar for the European Research Area (ERA).

FFG - Austrian Research Promotion Agency:
"Only within the international context, the European Research Area can remain competitive and effective in achieving these objectives. The international scientific cooperation policy of the EU will stress and develop cooperation to generate, share and use knowledge through equitable research partnerships between the EU and third countries at bilateral, regional and global levels. On the basis of multilateral and bi-regional dialogues and through relevant bilateral cooperation agreements between the EU and these countries, specific needs and priority topics will be identified."

The overview below lists calls for projects with the explicit possibility for third country participation.
