You are probably aware of the enormous importance of EU funding for research projects. However finding out which of the hundreds of calls is relevant to your project idea can be extremely time consuming. Also the low success rate of proposals (5-20%) might keep you from going ahead with your application. EMPA can improve this situation by:

• Developing your strategy for the 7th Framework Programme (FP7)
• Discovering your best options for European funding
• Scheduling your responses to the European Commission’s requirements
• Managing your proposal, e.g. communicating with partners, organising the process and if desired formulating/editing most proposal parts
• Training your project staff in proposal writing

 

Furthermore EMPA can do lobbying for your ideas in Brussels if you want to be involved in the development of the 7th Framework Programme at an early stage.
