Call for Proposals - Integration and development of research entities from the EU´s Convergence and Outermost regions in the ERA FP7-REGPOT-2012-2013-1 Closed!
Objectives
The main goal of the present Call remains in stimulating the realisation of the full research potential of the enlarged Union by unlocking and developing existing or emerging excellence in the EU's Convergence regions and Outermost regions, and helping to strengthen the potential of their researchers to successfully participate in research activities at European Union level.
Many research actors located in the Convergence and Outermost regions of the European Union (EU) have difficulties to become active players in ERA and in the 7th Framework Programme because they are facing problems of brain drain, lack of infrastructure and of appropriate access to finance as well as low innovation performance.
There is a clear need to fully integrate them in the ERA. To achieve this, it is necessary they advance scientific discovery and innovation and improve management of intellectual property (IP). Having met these challenges, the research actors concerned will play an active role in a sustainable development of European economy and growth. This is a key challenge of this call.
The activity aims at strengthening the potential of research entities established in the eligible regions that need new knowledge and support to sustain their development. It will help to enhance their capacity to successfully participate in research and innovation activities at EU level.
