European R&D Funding

Securing European Funding for Innovation   

Our future in Europe and in the world depends on the development of new technologies to protect our health, our environment and to make advances in all sciences. This demands significant resources and intelligent synergies in scientific research and technological innovation. This is why the European Union supports multicultural, transdisciplinary projects that unite partners from different countries and professional backgrounds for the development of high quality knowledge.

Enterprise Europe Scotland, in partnership with Scotland Europa, provides a dedicated service to support all Scottish organisations in making the most of European Research and Development funding opportunities available in Framework Programme 7 (FP7).

We provide information and advice about how to access Europe's premier R&D funding programme which provides an opportunity for you to:

·         Share the costs and risks of your research
·         Gain access to opportunities to acquire and exploit new IPR
·         Gain access to opportunities for supply chain development
·         Gain access to opportunities to target new international markets
·         Improve your processes, increase efficiencies and develop new products
 

Businesses, economic associations, universities, research performing organisations and individual researchers can get funded by FP7. Let us help you by demystifying the sometimes complex information,  and providing guidance to enable you to decide whether FP7 is appropriate, and if so, what to do next.
