FP7 call: Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)
The European Commission has published a call for proposals for the Cooperation Specific Programme: Information and Communication Technologies of the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7). The objective of the ICT programme is to improve the competitiveness of European industry and enable Europe to master and shape future developments in ICT so that the demands of its society and economy are met. ICT is at the very core of the knowledge-based society. Activities will strengthen Europe's scientific and technology base and ensure its global leadership in ICT, help drive and stimulate product, service and process innovation and creativity through ICT use and ensure that ICT progress is rapidly transformed into benefits for Europe's citizens, businesses, industry and governments. These activities will also help reduce the digital divide and social exclusion.To see the full details of the call, please consult the following web address: http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/dc/index.cfm?fuseaction=UserSite.CooperationDetailsCallPage&call_id=65(opens in new window) For more information on the ICT programme in FP7, please visit: http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/ict/(opens in new window)
