European 7th Research Framework Programme's (FP7) Programme review

 
In the scope of its strategic research programme, the FP7, the European Commission regularly publishes research programmes that are organised on a thematic basis. These programmes have as an aim to define concrete research calls to which potential research consortia are invited to respond.

One of the objectives of the EuRADE project is to initiate new research cooperative processes with European research teams within available funding opportunities. In order to achieve this the EuRADE proposal foresaw that the project would, amongst others, identify new research collaborations on disability equality and non-discrimination which fall within the scope of FP7 and other relevant programmes, and review approved EC thematic areas work programmes for 2010 of FP7 in view of preparation of research topics.

In light of the work done within the EuRADE project, the specific goals of the reviews of the FP7 work programmes are:
  1. To identify whether any current or upcoming calls allow for the possibility of funding the research proposals developed within EuRADE
  2. To identify the match between FP7 calls and the research priorities of DPOs as identified in the EuRADE consultation survey
  3. To identify the extent to which FP7 calls allow for the funding of disability related research
  4. To identify the extent to which FP7 calls allow for / promote the involvement of DPOs in EC funded research
  5. To identify the room for campaigning to improve the disability dimension of future calls.
This task has been led by Maastricht University, in consultation with the European Disability Forum and Leeds University.
