FP7 will provide support for:
- Trans-national two-way secondments of research staff in the convergence regions;
- The acquisition and development of research equipment in selected centres;
- The organisation of workshops and conferences to facilitate knowledge transfer;
- ‘Evaluation facilities’ for research centres in the ‘Convergence regions’ to obtain an international independent expert evaluation of their research quality and infrastructures.
‘Research potential’ is a bottom-up scheme, the projects may address any research theme of FP7.
The Funding scheme for this activity will be ‘Coordination and Support Actions’.
