European Framework Programme for Research

A multi-year EU programme for the promotion of research, technological development and innovation. The primary aims of the framework programmes for research are to strengthen the EU’s scientific and technological foundations, to promote the EU’s international competitiveness and to support all research measures that are deemed necessary in light of other EU policies. They are thus targeted primarily at transnational research and development that can provide the basis for innovative European industry – while also providing direct benefits for citizens.
