<h1>7th EC Framework Programme</h1>

</center>
|
|
|
|
<p>After the positive feedback from the application on the <a href="/activities/policy/fp6/fp6.html">6th Framework Programme</a> the FSFE has put their eyes on
|
|
the upcoming challenges by the <a href="http://cordis.europa.eu/en/home.html"> 7th Framework Programme</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The FSFE is planning to participate in projects covering the spectrum from
|
|
information technology security over research for small and medium
|
|
enterprises to research on the social impact of information technology.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Currently the calls from the EC are being analysed and potential project
|
|
issues are identified. After that phase, consortia with organisations,
|
|
businesses and research facilities around Free Software issues will be formed.
|
|
With all partners on board, project proposals will be written and
|
|
filed to the EC in line with the prospective calls.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The projects will focus on potentials and risks of the information society in
|
|
the areas of business, education, security and development. Free Software is
|
|
introduced as a very good vehicle to use the potentials and minimize the risks.
|
|
Through qualitative consortia, the proposals are aiming to bridge the gap
|
|
between research, business and civil society. They are also contributing to the
|
|
dissemination of the idea of Free Software in all significant entities.</p>

<h3>Remark</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>As many will know, activities on this level are often painstakingly
|
|
slow and take a lot of work. Although the FSFE will try to do as
|
|
much as it can, its resources are limited by the amount of support
|
|
that it gets. So one way of speeding the process up <a
|
|
