NCP training presentations of FP6 available on CORDIS
In October 2002, more than 700 National Contact Point (NCP) representatives followed intensive training sessions on all aspects of the Sixth Framework Programme (FP6) and related activities. CORDIS, the European Commission's Research and Development Information Service, is now providing downloadable versions of all the general and priority specific presentations on its site. The various presentations will complement the FP6 step-by-step service, which provides clear and easy to understand information about EU funding opportunities. The presentations give relevant information on the structure, budget and working methods of all activities and thematic programmes. They provide insights on the new approach and main features (traditional and new instruments) as well as on proposal submission procedures and supportive tools. They also explain contractual issues and evaluation methodologies. All presentations are downloadable in the NCP section of the FP6 service on CORDIS. This section enables users to easily identify their local NCP to get personalised support, advice and assistance on participation in FP6.
