European Union's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7)

The European Commission's Directorate-General for Research has published a series of calls for proposals under its Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) for the funding of research and technological development. These calls contain large potential for the realization of sustainable solutions. Thoughts, knowledge and approaches will turn into action through professional and well structured international cooperation.
