FP7 Info Days in Western Canada
Vancouver, B.C. May 10 & Edmonton, Alberta May 14, 2007
As the European Union rolls out the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7), it is critical to have the knowledge and information disseminated to Canadian researchers in order to take advantage of opportunities available to Canadians.
FP7 Info Days held in March in Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal were very successful
due to the participation from the Canadian research community. We will now hold similar sessions in Vancouver and Edmonton in May and plans for Atlantic Canada will be in the Fall.
The Communications Research Centre (CRC) as the ICT Canadian National Contact
Point, in partnership with ERA-Can and the IST-EC 2 project will be organizing the following sessions:
The FP7 programme which runs from 2007-2013, has a budget of $53.2 Billion Euros, and the ICT component is the largest with 9.1 Billion Euros. During the Info Sessions, the 7 Challenges of the ICT programme will be presented and officials from the ICT Operations Unit of the European Commission will be available to answer your questions on any relevant issues, for both ICT and FP7 in general. The Ideal-ist project which is a research support network, will be outlined. Since Canada is an Associate Partner in the Ideal-ist project, the benefits and how Canadians can participate will be presented. As well, other thematic areas under FP7, ie: Life Sciences, Energy, Nanotechnology will be summarized.
Federal and provincial funding agencies will also be on hand to provide up-to-date information on current programs. Opportunities for networking and meeting other researchers will also be a key component of these sessions.
