FP7 calls on a new portal!

The European Commission is committed to improve its web-based communication on research and innovation by better serving the specific needs and interests of its target groups. This implies a general re-organisation of the web-presence, which will be implemented gradually throughout 2011 and 2012. Key web services for the 7th Framework Programme are going to be redistributed between the three main portals in the following way:

• Research on Europa: publishes general information on the EU research policy, initiatives and specific programmes and addresses the interested broad public.
• Participant Portal: is used for interactions with the participants of EU-funded research and innovation projects; it also provides information on funding opportunities.
• CORDIS: disseminates information on the EU-funded research projects, their outcomes and their exploitation.

As part of the new division of services, from July 2011 the Participant Portal becomes the unique and authoritative website for the publication of FP7 calls and the existing CORDIS service is phased-out. CORDIS users are being redirected to the relevant pages of the FP7 calls section on the Participant Portal.
