Press Release: Simplifying access to the EU research Framework Programme

The European Commission was co-hosting a 2-day workshop 'Simplifying participation in EU research - Opening up accessibility for all' to review a series of proposed new measures aimed at simplifying access to the EU's Seventh Framework Programme for Research 2007-2013. Fewer bureaucratic hurdles in research and innovation activities should allow small actors, in particular, to participate more easily. The following issues were to be addressed during the workshop: legal and financial rules, Community funding schemes, intellectual property rights, and evaluation and selection processes.
