How to find suitable funding calls?

  2. From the complied list of topics, you may find topics of your interest using specific key words.

What is a Work Programme?

The Work Programme describes the contents of the funding calls, information on topics and project types, as well as on the schedules of the calls, and the allocated funding. The new Work Programme strives to take into account the interim evaluation of the Programme. The new features include measures to support market-creating innovation, highly integrated activities called focus areas, emphasis on better dissemination of results and a focus on open access to data.
