European funding – Research, Development & Innovation activities

Consult here the open Calls for Proposals

Your company or research centre has a convincing project idea or would like to solve a technical problem through research and development. But you feel that your company or research centre cannot handle this job alone. Maybe an EU-funded research project is the solution for you.

The Enterprise Europe Brussels’ experts on FP7 (7th Research Framework Programme) and on CIP (Competitiveness and Innovation programme) will help you identify the European programmes that are best suited to your company/research centre’s R&D strategy.

The 7th Framework Programme for R&TD is the EU's main instrument for funding research in Europe providing companies and research centres with an opportunity to:

• carry out R&TD activities in collaboration with other European companies and universities or research centres
• share the costs and risks of research
• gain access to opportunities to acquire and exploit new IPR
• improve processes, increase efficiencies and develop new products
• gain access to opportunities to target new international markets

Together with the NCP Brussels*, Enterprise Europe Brussels’ experts offer free-of-charge, professional and personalised assistance throughout the lifespan of a European research, development and/or innovation project.
