Chris Bingham and Paul Stewart from the UoL School of Engineering will be heading to Brussels on Sunday for a Framework 7 briefing event.

The next round of calls for proposals under the Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (FP7) will be published at the end of July 2011.

In order to support the preparation of proposals, the European Commission’s Research Directorate General will hold two ‘Information Days’ on 18 and 19 July 2011 in the Charlemagne building, rue de la Loi 170, in Brussels.

The aim of the two-day event is to inform potential researchers about FP7 and the new Transport Calls for Proposals under the ‘Co-operation’ Programme. Details will also be given on the main legal and procedural conditions and we will respond to your questions. Participants will also have the chance to network with potential project partners by posting information on the main networking boards, and will also be given the opportunity to give a brief Powerpoint presentation at each full day event.
