Call for Proposals - FET Open Xtrack - Small and medium-scale focused research projects (STREP) FP7-ICT-2013-X Closed!

Objectives

Small and medium-scale focused research projects (STREP) are objective-driven research projects, which aim at generating new knowledge, including new technology, or common resources for research in order to improve European competitiveness, or to address major societal needs. They have clearly defined scientific and technological objectives directed at obtaining specific results, which could be applicable in terms of development or improvement of products, processes, services or policy.

STREP target a specific research objective in a sharply focused approach. They have a fixed overall work plan where the principal deliverables are not expected to change during the lifetime of the project.
