funding
The persistent
development of intellectual property is one of the foundations of our
society. This is recognised by the European Union,
which endeavours to support scientific research
and technological development through a
multiplicity of funding
instruments. Recently, the Framework programme 7 (FP 7),
covering the period from 2007 to 2013, has been published and is now
under the co-decision procedure for approval and
adoption by the European Parliament and Council.
The research is organised in nine sub-programmes:
*
Health
* Food, agriculture and biotechnology
* Information and communication technologies
* Nanosciences, nanotechnologies, materials and new
production technologies
