Calls under the 6th Framework Programme (FP6)
INTRODUCTION
FP6 aims to contribute to the creation of a true "European Research Area" (ERA). ERA is a vision for the future of research in Europe, an internal market for science and technology. The Framework Programme is the financial instrument that will help make the ERA a reality.
The implementation of the Framework Programme is carried out in an open and transparent way, ensuring equal access and fair treatment to all applicants. This is ensured through "calls for proposals" which are published in the Supplement to the Official Journal of the European Communities and on the Commission's relevant Internet pages.

Calls under the 5th Framework Programme (FP5)
From policy to practice
Calls launched at regular intervals in the EU Research and Developmentdomainunder successive Framework Programmes and published in the Supplement to the Official Journal of the European Communities invite interested parties to submit for evaluation and selection proposals for various types of projects eligible for funding.
Calls under FP5 were linked with certain Action Lines which addressed research topics and priorities in each of the five interrelated ''Multimedia Content and Tools" (KA3) areas. Projects submitted in response to the same action line share common research goals and can thus be grouped together.
Action Lines for which calls were issued form the basis of annual Work Programmes. These contain plans for research activities to be undertaken in the Information Society Technologies (IST) sector each year.
In the course of the Fifth Framework Programme (FP5) for research, technological development and demonstration activities (1998-2002), eight calls for proposals have been published in the IST sector, from which a total of 110 DigiCult projects were selected and received funding.
- Click hereto access all calls launched in the IST programme under FP5.
- Download Workprogramme 2002 which supported Call 8, the last IST call published under FP5.
