What are work programmes?
A. The individual ‘work programmes’ are the detailed implementation plans for the specific programmes, research themes and other activities under FP7. They specify the concrete scientific-technical, economic and societal objectives of each activity, providing both a broad background and the detailed technical content. They project a ‘road map’ of the planned calls for proposals. They also indicate for each call the funding instruments that will be available and the evaluation criteria that will be applied. Understanding the objectives of the work programme is essential for preparing a good proposal.
