European Union Funding in the Sixth Framework Programme is the single largest source
of research funding within the EU. However, it is not easy to access these resources, as
there are complicated procedures and rules governing the distribution of these funds.
Tactical Technology Collective has published a guide to the EU Sixth Framework Programme (FP6) funding which attempts to explain these procedures and rules in a simple and
straightforward way.
Funding in the Sixth Framework Programme is open to NGOs and companies in the new
EU member states. Most potential applications from the new member states will be
seeking funding for the first time and this Guide was commissioned by the Open Society
Institute to help them. In addition to the original version of this Guide, updates will be
available every six months from the same source as this Guide
This Guide pdf is meant to serve primarily as a beginners’ handbook. However, the detailed
yet structured information will be useful as a ready reference for just about any person
interested in Sixth Framework funding.
Calls under FP7 are likely to be launched in early 2007.
