Brief Paper 1/1997: Métodos de Financiamento de Projectos de Investigação: Análise do guia de financiamento de investigação da Comissão Europeia

Resumo:

The importance of investment in research, in terms of its positive effects on economic growth, competitiveness and job creation, is now irrefutable. This is the position taken by the European Commission and which led to the implementation of the Fourth Framework Programme of Community Research and Technological Development Activities for 1994-1998. It covers all the research work previously spread across the various Directorates-General, grouping projects by geographical area – central and eastern Europe, developing countries and industrialised non-European countries. It is targeted at research projects carried out at European Union level. If the application is successful, the project coordinators are invited for contract negotiations – usually in Brussels or Luxembourg. Applicants must be prepared to provide more sophisticated information on the structure, implementation and costs of the project. For this purpose they receive forms that have to be filled in and submitted to the Commission within the specified period. Work on the project should not start until all the contractual negotiation stages are completed and the contract is signed by the partners and the Commission departments responsible. Métodos de financiamento de projectos de investigação: análise do guia de financiamento de investigação da Comissão Europeia has been prepared on the basis of the book EC research funding – a guide for applicants, European Commission, Office for Official Publications of the European Communities, Brussels-Luxembourg. 1996, 205p.
