EU Framework 7 Aeronautics and Air Transport briefing Brussels 18 July 2011

Paul Stewart
Aeronautics and Air Transport plenary session at the European Commission Charlemagne Building

Profs Chris Bingham and Paul Stewart from the School of Engineering attended the Framework 7 Aeronautics and Air Transport  – 5th Call briefing in Brussels on Monday

The event provided information on the forthcoming calls, and most importantly provided a vital opportunity for networking and project brokerage with potential collaborative partners.

The EU funded project ETNA is organised a networking and brokerage event focussing on the topics covered by the next round of calls to be published in July of 2011. The networking and brokerage events followied the informational sessions carried out by the European Commission in the morning. The event on day 1 (Monday, July 18)  focused on the topics in the sub-programme Aeronautics and Air Transport (AAT). The event took place in the building Charlemagne, rue de la Loi 170 – the same location as the informational sessions in the morning.

EU FP7 Transport Meetings 2011: Brussels

Paul Stewart
7 Transport Information Days 2011 - 18-19 July 2011

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.
