International Cooperation in COOPERATION Specific ProgrammeAll 10 thematic areas are open to third countries, as any other EU legal entity222nd Specific Programme - IdeasIdeasSupports Pioneering Frontier Research on the basis of scientific excellence Research can be carried out in the areas of science or technology (Including engineering), socio-economic sciences and the humanities. European Research Council (ERC) is formed, to support investigator-driven frontier research. TYPES OF ERC GRANTS: ERC Starting Independent Researcher Grants (ERC Starting Grants) ERC Advanced Investigator Grants (ERC Advanced Grants)Mainly for European researchers.Now open for Indian researchers.BUDGET : 7.460 B

24Seeks to attract the best researchers from both Europe and third countries, as well as for industrial research investment3rd Specific Programme - PeoplePeopleThe People programme is dedicated to stimulating researchers career development proposes a thrust for training, research mobility and career growth for researchers both within the European Union and third countries. Programme executed by a set of actions termed as Marie Curie Actions. Provide fellowships and other measures to help researchers build their skills and competences throughout their career. This includesInitial training of researchers - Marie Curie NetworksLife long training and career developmentIndustry-academia partnerships and pathwaysInternational dimension programmesBUDGET : 4.728 B

FP7 - International Cooperation countries International Cooperation: Third Countries1- Associated countries (Switzerland, Norway, Israel, Turkey, etc)2- Industrialised countries (USA, Canada, Japan, Australia.)3- International Cooperation Partner Countries (ICPC):Countries neighbouring the EU (Mediterranean Partner Countries, Western Balkans, Eastern European and Central Asian Countries)Developing countries (ACP, ASIA, Latin America)Emerging economies (e.g. China, INDIA, Brazil, Russia, South Africa)31

7th Framework ProgrammeParticipation by legal entities from third countriesInternational Cooperation: INDIA1- EU-INDIA S&T Cooperation2- Bilateral Agreement signed in 2001, in force since 20023- Actions of mutual benefit and reciprocal access4- 2 past projects backed this process (INCITE and INDIAMENTOR) (Synchroniser, INDIA GATE, NAMASTE, TOGETHER)5- FP6 projects saw more than 100 research institutions in more than 80 projects for the period 2002-2006. 6- Already more than 140 Indian research organisations have been selected for funding in over 90 projects. 33Why International Collaboration?Support European competitiveness through strategic partnerships with non-EU countries in selected fields of science and by engaging the best scientists from such countries to work with and in Europe; Enhance the production of knowledge and scientific excellence by enabling European universities, research institutions and firms to establish contacts with their partners in such third countries, thereby facilitating access to research environments outside Europe and promoting synergies on a global scale; Address specific problems that third countries face, or that have a global character, on the basis of mutual interest and mutual benefit. Why Collaborate with Europe in R&DGlobalisationCollaborate with Best in Class Research GroupsMarket and business expansion opportunityBetter mobility of individual researchers across the globe.many more reasons

Tips to optimise participation Structure your offer so as to make your research potential clearly emerge Start your experience as partners in projects co-ordinated by others Youll be seen as far away partners.
