Environment research under Framework Programme 7

Opportunities for international cooperation in energy research under the 2011 work programme.

The main objective of research for the environment under FP7 is to promote the sustainable management of both the man-made and the natural environment and its resources.

Examples of projects previously funded under the Environment theme can be found in the Catalogue of FP7 funded projects 2007 - 2010 (PDF 1.06MB).

International cooperation activities

The Environment theme comprises Specific International Cooperation Actions (SICA), which address research problems of mutual interest and benefit between the EU and international co-operation partner countries (ICPC).

Participants from developing countries and emerging economies, Mediterranean partner countries, Western Balkan countries, as well as Russia and the new independent states can be funded in the field of environmental research.
