FP7 Study tour to Brussels
21-22 November 2005
Target audience
The Study Tour was primarily aimed at those with a reasonable knowledge of European Framework Programmes, but was also suitable for research managers and administrators who wanted to update their understanding of EC-funded research. Numbers were limited to a maximum of 25 participants, to encourage lively discussion of the issues raised.
The two-day tour took place on 21st/22nd November. Topics included:
- UKRO and Framework Programme 7
- The decision-making process in Framework Programme 7
- The European Research Council: its role in FP7 and the ERA
- Simplification in FP7: rationale, implementation and Rules for Participation
- Marie Curie Actions under FP7
- The NMP priority area in FP7: rationale and activities
- Audit, reporting and financial issues in FP7
Attendees from UKRO and the European Commission:
- Anne Hicks, European Adviser, UKRO
- Keith Sequeria, DG Research Directorate A1
- Megan Richards, DG Research Directorate A3
- Alan Haigh, DG Research Directorate D5
- Christos Tokamanis, DG Research Directorate G2
- Speakers from DG Research Directorates B1 & R4
We hope to be able to offer another UKRO Study Tour later in 2011.
