FP7 was broken down into four main actions directed at supporting and expanding research and the European Research Area through: “cooperation”, “ideas”, “people” and “capacities” (see Figure 1). The following descriptions, provided at the onset of FP7 by the European Commission via CORDIS (Community Re- search and Development Information Service), briefly outline the programme’s original objectives: COOPERATION (with 10 themes): To gain leadership in key scientific and technological areas by supporting cooperation between universities, industry, research centres and public aut- horities across the European Union as well as the rest of the world. FP7 will distribute the benefits of research cooperation more widely across the major fields of progress in know- ledge and technology where excellent research must be strengthened to address European social, economic, public health, environmental and industrial challenges. The Specific Pro- gramme ’Cooperation’ will be open to the participation of countries who have entered a research cooperation agreement with the European Union and open to the participation of entities from third countries and of international organisations for scientific cooperation. Ten themes serve as research actions under Cooperation: 1) Health; 2) Food, Agriculture and Biotechnology; 3) Information and Communication Technologies; 4) Nanosciences, Nanotechnologies, Materials and new Production Technologies; 5) Energy; 6) Environment (including Climate Change); 7) Transport (including Aeronautics); 8) Socioeconomic Sci- ences and Humanities; 9) Space; 10) Security.

The Specific Programme ’Ideas’ shall be investigator-driven and aims to support activities in ’frontier research’, carried out by individual teams competing at European level, within and across all fields of research. Projects will be funded on the basis of proposals presented by researchers both from the private and public sectors on subjects of their choice and eva- luated on the sole criterion of excellence, as judged by peer review. For its implementation, a ’European Research Council’, consisting of an independent ’Scientific Council’, and a lean and cost-effective dedicated implementation structure will be created by the European Council. PEOPLE (Mobility via Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions): Strengthening, quantitatively and qualitatively, the human potential in R&D in Europe, by: stimulating people to enter into the researcher’s profession; encouraging European researchers to stay in Europe; attrac- ting researchers from the entire world to Europe; making Europe more attractive to the best researchers. Increasing participation of women researchers, by: encouraging equal opportunities; ensuring achievement of an appropriate work/life balance; facilitating the resumption of a research career after a break. A coherent set of ’Marie Curie actions’ will address researchers, from initial training to life-long learning and career development in the public and private sectors. CAPACITIES: To enhance research and innovation capacities throughout Europe and unlock the full research potential of European regions, especially convergence regions. Synergies and complementarities will be sought with other community policies and programmes, such as the Community’s regional and cohesion policy, the Structural Funds, the Competi- tiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP) and relevant education and training programmes. Building on the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructure (ES- FRI), the Specific Programme ’Capacities’ will support the construction of new research infrastructures in a two-stage approach involving a preparatory phase and a construction phase. Increased support will be available for the benefit of SMEs. Within the Specific Pro- gramme, the ’Regions of Knowledge’ initiative aims at creating networks of regions to help them make full use of their research strengths, enable them to absorb new knowledge ari- sing from research and to facilitate the emergence of ’research-driven clusters’ associating universities, research centres, enterprises and regional authorities. The ’Science in Society’ initiative will strengthen the European science system, broaden the engagement of resear- chers and the public at large, in addition to supporting reflection and debate on science and technology and their place in society. EURATOM & JOINT RESEARCH CENTRE: The Euratom programme includes energy and nuclear research and training in fusion and fission, while the JRC is the European Commission’s in-house science service providing advice and technical support surrounding EU policy. Despite being part of FP7, and with respective budgets of ~2.7 & ~1.7b €, these activities are outside the scope or intent of this compendium, and not further considered herein. 7 FP7 Activity at LiU THIS COMPENDIUM describes many of Linköping University’s contributions, in participa- tion and performance, to the EU’s Seventh Framework Programme, highlighting research activities and academic excellence in thematic
