• The program has a total budget of over € 50 billion.

• Framework Program started from 1984, and FP7 is the 7th program. It lasts for seven years from 2007 until 2013.

• The program has a total budget of over € 50 billion.

• The program aims to strengthen the innovation ability of EU, and provides funding and collaborative services for the researchers in Member States.

• FP7’s short-term objective is to establish the “European Research Area (ERA)”, and become the "most dynamic competitive knowledge-based economy in the world as its long-term objective.
