7TH FRAMEWORK PROGRAMME: The 7th Framework Programme for Research, covering the period 2007 to 2013, is an opportunity for the EU to match its research policy to its ambitions in terms of economic and social policy by consolidating the European Research Area (ERA). In order to achieve this objective, the Commission hopes to increase the EU's annual spending on research, thereby generating more national and private investment in this field. The Framework Programme is organised around four main programmes and has been greatly simplified so as to be more effective and more accessible to researchers.
PROGRESS: Its aim is to provide financial support for the implementation of the European Union's objectives in the field of employment and social affairs. It will thus contribute to the achievement of the Lisbon Strategy objectives. PROGRESS, the budget for which is 743 million, will finance analysis, mutual learning, awareness-raising and dissemination activities, as well as assistance for the main players over the period 2007-2013. The programme will be divided into five sections corresponding to five main fields of activity: employment, social protection and inclusion, working conditions, diversity and combating discrimination, and equality between women and men.
EUROPAID: EuropeAid is responsible for implementing all external cooperation funded by the EU. It is committed to delivering high-quality aid programmes that will have a practical impact on the quality of people's lives, and that achieve a level of efficiency to meet the highest international standards. They are mostly International tenders.
