ONGOING CALLS:

FET Open scheme: is always open ! FET-Open is a 'roots-up' approach for exploring promising visionary ideas that can contribute to challenges of long term importance for Europe. The scheme stimulates non-conventional targeted exploratory research cutting across all disciplines and acts as a harbour for exploring and nurturing new research trends and helping them mature in emerging research communities.

Additional funding is expected to be added to this call from the 2010 budget

Note: FET-Open operates a continuous proposal submission scheme for short STREP proposals. Proposers are therefore asked to submit their short STREP proposals as soon as they are ready, and not to wait for a specific date before submitting.

Three Cross Thematic calls: expected to be published on 30 July 2009, will close on 3 Nov. 2009 Total amount 35+15+20 M Euro

As part of the European Economic Recovery Plan, the Commission is launching three Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs). The three PPPs represent a powerful means of boosting research efforts in three large industrial sectors - automotive, construction and manufacturing - which have been particularly affected by the economic downturn and where innovation can significantly contribute towards a more green and sustainable economy.

1. "Factories of the Future" initiative for the manufacturing sector (€1.2 billion for R&D);
2. "Energy-efficient Buildings" initiative for the construction sector (€1 billion for R&D); and
3. "Green Cars" initiative for the automotive sector worth a total of €5 billion, of which €1 billion is for research activities.

The Commission foresees to provide a contribution of 50% to the total R&D budget from the budget of the 7th Framework Programme, with matching investment coming from the private sector.
