Call for proposals Capacities - FP7-SME-2008-1 FP7-SME-2008-1 Closed!
Objectives
Strengthening the innovation capacity of European SMEs and their contribution to the development of new technology based products and markets by helping them outsource research, increase their research efforts, extend their networks, better exploit research results and acquire technological know how, bridging the gap between research and innovation.
For this first call for proposal, research for SMEs supports innovative SMEs to solve common or complementary technological problems. Projects must be centred on the innovation needs of the SMEs which outsource research to RTD performers and must demonstrate a clear exploitation potential for the SMEs concerned. Research for SMEs is a bottom-up scheme: the projects may address any research topic across the entire field of science and technology.
