Midler til samarbeid om forskningsinfrastruktur

Søknadsfristen for konsortiene er satt til 25. november 2010 og budsjett er 104 millioner euro.

Maksgrensen for støtte per utvalgt prosjekt er 10 millioner euro, med unntak for topic 17 og 18 (jfr. oversikten nedenfor) som har et tak på 15 millioner euro.

Siden de fleste topics har en klar knytning opp mot ESFRI-prosjekter, anbefaler vi interesserte norske miljøer å ha en dialog gående med kontaktpersonene i Forskningrådet.

Prosjekter som innvilges, skal være i formen av ”Integrating Activities”, som er en sammensatt prosjektform der nettverkssamarbeid, felles forskning for utvikling av utstyrsområdet står i sentrum - i tillegg til transnasjonal tilgang til utstyrsfasilitetene tilknyttet de ulike prosjektene.

Følgende tema er pekt ut som aktuelle for "Integrating Activities":
