EU Research Programmes
FP7 in brief
7th Framework Programme for Research and Technological
Development (2007-2013) is the main financial tool through
which the European Union supports research and development
activities, covering almost all scientific disciplines.
The overall amount for Community financial participation in the
7FP is EUR 50 521 million for the period 2007 - 2013
FP7 is organised in four programmes corresponding to four basic
components of European research:
•
•
•
•
COOPERATION
IDEAS
PEOPLE
CAPACITIES
ERASMUS STAFF MOBILITY WEEK 2011
EU Research Programmes
FP7 in brief - COOPERATION
Cooperation is the core of FP7, representing two thirds of the
overall budget. It fosters collaborative research across Europe
and other partner countries through transnational projects
carried out in ten key thematic areas:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Health
Food, agriculture and fisheries, and biotechnology
Information and communication technologies
Nanosciences, nanotechnologies, materials and new production techn.
Energy
Environment (including climate change)
Transport (including aeronautics)
Socio-economic sciences and the humanities
Space
Security
ERASMUS STAFF MOBILITY WEEK 2011
EU Research Programmes
FP7 in brief - IDEAS
Ideas programme supports “frontier research” on the basis of
scientific excellence. Research may be carried out in any area of
science or technology and there is no obligation for crossborder partnerships, including engineering, socio-economic
sciences and the humanities.
In contrast with the Cooperation programme, there is no obligation
for cross-border partnerships. Projects are implemented by
“individual teams” around a “principal investigator”.
The programme is implemented via the new European Research
Council (ERC)
ERASMUS STAFF MOBILITY WEEK 2011
EU Research Programmes
FP7 in brief - PEOPLE
The People programme provides support for researcher mobility
and career development for researchers inside the European
Union and internationally.
It is implemented via a set of Marie Curie actions, providing
fellowships and other measures to help researchers build their
skills and competences throughout their careers:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Initial training of researchers - Marie Curie Networks
Industry-academia partnerships
Co-funding of regional, national and international mobility programmes
Intra-European fellowships
International dimension - outgoing and incoming fellowships,
International cooperation scheme, reintegration grants
ERASMUS STAFF MOBILITY WEEK 2011
EU Research Programmes
FP7 in brief - CAPACITIES
Capacities programme strengthens the research capacities that
Europe needs to become “the most dynamic competitive
knowledge-based economy in the world”.
It covers the following activities:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Research infrastructures
Research for the benefit of SMEs
Regions of Knowledge
Research Potential
Science in Society
Specific activities of international cooperation

Sapienza’s participation in FP7
The “Regulation of the activities carried out under European and
International Programmes” (2009) provides how Faculties,
Departments or Research Centres can participate in 7FP or in
other programmes projects.
Faculties, Departments and Research Centres are financially
autonomous. They are in charge with the administrative,
financial and scientific management of projects
Heads of Departments are allowed to sign Grant Agreements and
all other documents required (such us Consortium Agreement
or Cost Statement). They manage projects and they are
responsible for their correct execution.

Visiting Professors
a short presentation
Sapienza University of Rome promotes incoming mobility of foreign
scholars as "visiting professors”
• 2 Calls for proposals (teaching or researching activities) per year;
• The applicants are Sapienza’s teachers and researchers
interested in hosting a foreign scholar;
• The monthly contribution, before taxes, amounts to 3.000,00 €,
4.000,00 € or 5.000,00 € and it depends on the “scientific
quality” of the visiting professor and the type of his activity
(teaching or researching). 10% of the amount is cofinanced by
the Department of the applicant.
• The applications are evaluated by a Committee designed by the
Rector on the basis of the following criteria: the CV of the visiting
professor, the rank of the institution, the quality of activities and
objectives foreseen, the financing of previous applications
