Commission calls for proposals for promotion of innovation and encouragement of SME participation
The European Commission has published a call for proposals for indirect RTD (research and technological development) actions under the specific programme 'promotion of innovation and encouragement of SME participation'. The purpose of the call is to make an effective contribution to developing, validating and implementing methodologies for promoting the integration of new technologies and analysing the technological, economic, organisational and social aspects observed in this process, and to disseminate and exploit the results which do not come from the thematic programmes. Proposals must relate to innovation projects, will be financed as combined projects and will be evaluated at a single stage. Approximately 20 million euro has been set aside for this call as the Community contribution, although this amount may be reviewed in the light of the budgetary resources available when the proposals are evaluated.For further information, please contact: European Commission Directorate-General Enterprise Innovation Help Desk E-mail: ENTR-FMB-INNOVATION-POLICY-INFODESK@ec.europa.eu Fax +352 430 132084 Or consult the following web address: http://cordis.europa.eu/innovation-smes/calls/200102.htm(opens in new window)
