2 National Information event on 7th Framework Programme ( ) Thessaloniki 22 September 2006 Introduction  The ERC is:  A logical development of the European Research Area  Securely anchored in European legislation but at the same time…..  A revolutionary development

3 National Information event on 7th Framework Programme ( ) Thessaloniki 22 September 2006   EU activities (FP7):   Ideas/ERC, Marie Curie fellowships, research infrastructures, thematic priority areas   Intergovernmental:   CERN, ESA, EMBL etc.   National   Research councils, academies, etc. Basic/frontier research in the European Research Area

4 National Information event on 7th Framework Programme ( ) Thessaloniki 22 September 2006   A new institution   Which is also part of the “family” of FP7:   Co-operation   Ideas   People   Capacities Ideas/ERC in FP7
