2. FP7 is the 2007- 2013 European programme
For Research and Technological development.
Strategic objectives
Strengthen the scientific and
technological base of European
industry
Encourage its international
competitiveness, while promoting
research that supports EU policies
Type of funding:
Grants to research actors
all over Europe
and beyond,
in order to co-finance
research,
technological development
and
coordination projects.
Grants are
determined on the basis
of “calls for proposals” and
a peer review process

3. FP7- Cooperation programme
Who can partecipate?
In principle, a legal entity may
participate
in a FP7 proposal no matter where
it is established.
However in a project there must be
at least three ‘legal entities’
established in different
EU Member States
or Associated countries.
The core of FP7, representing two thirds of the overall budget, is the Cooperation programme. It fosters collaborative research and coordinating actions across Europe and other partner countries through projects by transnational consortia of industry and academia.
Research and coordinating actions will be carried out in Thematic areas such as:
Energy, Health, Biotecnology, Information and communication technologies.

4. Potential Partners
The following may receive EU funding in an FP7 project:
Any legal entity established in a EU Member State or an
Associated Country (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, FYR Macedonia,
Iceland, Israel, Liechtenstein,Montenegro, Norway, Serbia, Switzerland and Turkey
Any legal entity established in an
FP7 International Cooperation Partner Country (ICPC)

5. FET OPEN - Future and Emerging Technologies
Helping
new research communities
to emerge:
FET-Open aims at seeding
and nurturing new scientific
disciplines
or research topics of relevance
to its objectives,
and supports the emergence
and consolidation of
around
these disciplines
and topics
FET-Open is a programme inside FP7 that
targets support and coordination activities for
high-risk and high-impact visionary research
in the field of ICT (Information and Communication
Technologies).
The Future and Emerging Technologies
Open Scheme - FET-Open - is a roots-up
approach for exploring promising visionary
ideas that can contribute to challenges of
long term importance for Europe.
The purpose of FET-Open is to stimulate
exploratory research and structuring activities
for a future science and technology basis that
can address emerging technological, industrial
and societal challenges of long term importance
for Europe.

6. THE COORDINATION PROJECT
In the context of FET- Open, our “Coordination (or networking) actions” aimed at coordinating research activities and policies in the field of ICT new technologies.
The project in particular want achieve the emergence of a new community reasearch around the topic of “ICT and the future: new ICT technologies aimed at solving problems of fresh water supply” that represent considerable intere st and in the long term may be developed to the stage of industrial application.
This project can include: organisation of events – including conferences,meetings,
workshops or seminars, related studies,
exchanges of personnel, exchange and dissemination of good practices

7. Project Ideas
Develop of two major workshops conferences common to all partners: one in Russia and one in Rome
Four thematic working groups consist from 3 to 4 partners. Each group will be assigned a specific topic between:
Titanium dioxide based photo-catalysts for reagent-free disinfection of aqueous media;
New renewable materials based on film-fabric preparations for water purification for different use;
Technology and installations for preparation of potable water with specified antioxidant properties and controlled mineralization;
Development of filtering materials on the base of nano fabrics for microbiological treatment of water
Exchange between the groups and the countries partners are also expected with the purpose to coordinate the work of the entire research community
Develop of a Project-website in order to improve coordination trough the partners and visibility of the ideas and bes practices

8. OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT
Stimulating the emergence of a new research community
Catalysing new visions and higly innovative ideas about new ICT technologies aimed at solving problems of fresh water supply
Draft of a final joint working paper around the general topic of this coordination activity

9. Technical info about FET-Open
Budget:
The EC contribution varies between 0,5 and 1 Million Euro.
The funding covers from 96% to 100% of total eligible costs.
The average funding for partner should be about / Euro
Indicative duration:
Coordination actions are expected to have a duration of typically two
to four years. However, there will be no formal minimum or maximum
duration
Deadline:
The deadline of this call for proposals is July 6, 2010

10. Documents to start
In this first stage of the project should not be presented particular documents
We need your confirmation of interest in this project and a contact person of your organization
We certainly need your innovative ideas and your scientific support for this project
