Introduction to the 3rd Joint CORNET call 2007

From 1 February 2007 to 31 May 2007, the 3rd Joint CORNET call for transnational collective research project proposals will be open.

Project consortia of associations, federations, trade associations or groupings of industrial enterprises from at least 3 different European countries or regions will have the opportunity to submit a proposal for a common collective research project.

The call is organised and funded by national and regional ministries and agencies participating in CORNET, through their existing funding programmes. Therefore it is important for all candidate project partners to consult with their respective agencies during the preparation of the proposal to secure compliance with the applicable national and regional criteria.

On CORNET level there will be coordinating actions for the evaluation process of project proposals. The guidelines describing the rules for submitting proposals can already be downloaded here.

Please note: The European Commission is not involved in the organisation of the call. It falls under the sole responisibility of the participating ministries and agencies.
