FP7-ENVIRONMENT 2012 Workprogramme aiming at higher SME participation
The novelty of the 2012 Environment (including climate change) work programme is the challenge driven approach which is implemented through fewer but broader topics using a two-stage submission and evaluation procedure.In support of the objectives of the Innovation Union Flagship Initiative, efforts are made to boost industry and SME participation by introducing specific SME-targeted and SME-friendly topics. Furthermore, a shift towards larger scale projects has been introduced with the possibility to support several projects per topic.
The calls FP7-ENV-2012-one-stage and FP7-ENV-2012- two-stage are expected to be published on 20 July 2011.
Very little changes to the draft are now expected and we strongly encourage you to start planning your participation or writing of proposals to be submitted.
