The European Union (EU) disposes of a major financial tool – the FrameworkProgrammes (FPs) – to fund research and development in almost all scientific areas, including cardiovascular research. Under FP6, over 20 research initiatives in CVD were funded by the EU. Your initiative could be next! Don’t miss the opportunity of finding out more on EU funding and learn the tips and tricks of how to compile a successful application by attending the following sessions:
European networking and collaboration: how the European Commission supports cardiovascular research 31 Aug 2009 | 11:00-12:30 | Tel Aviv - Zone 1
European Union research grant: how to write and apply? 31 Aug 2009 | 15:40-16:20 | Bratislava - Zone 6 European Union research grant: evaluation and selection process 01 Sep 2009 | 10:10-10:50 | Bratislava - Zone 6
In addition, if you have ever applied – or have planned to apply - for FP funding, we invite you to provide your views on the funding application procedure by answering the online questionnaire accessible here.
The questionnaire was prepared by Prof. A. Zaza and Prof. R. Sicari of the ESC European Relations Committee for Research chaired by K. Sipido and G. Steg. The overall purpose is to identify and tackle the difficulties hindering researchers from applying for funding and to enhance the deployment of EU investment in CVD research.
