Commission publishes 2011 Health Work Programme and calls for proposals of the 7th Framework Programme

On 20 July 2010, the European Commission Directorate General for Research published the 2011 Health Work Programme of the Seventh Framework Programme for research and technological development (FP7)which contains the following calls for proposals in the area of health research:

 

- FP7-HEALTH-2010-single-stage, indicative budget: €160.5 million, deadline: 10 November 2010 
- FP7-HEALTH-2011-two-stage, indicative budget : €498 million, deadline: 13 October 2010 (for stage 1 proposals) and 10 February 2011 for 2-stage procedure indicative

- FP7-ERANET-2011-RTD, indicative budget: €44.6 million of which €4 million for health, deadline: 22 February 2011

 

Several of these calls for proposal may represent valuable funding opportunities for EASL members and we therefore strongly recommend members to have a close look at the different calls in order to identify projects which may contribute to fostering liver research in Europe. The 2011 Work Programme is available at: ftp://ftp.cordis.europa.eu/pub/fp7/docs/wp/cooperation/health/a-wp-201101_en.pdf and more information on the FP7 calls is available at:http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/health/.
