Funding
sources for forest research
ETFRN, together with the
UK Department for International Development, Forest Research Programme (DFID-FRP)
has organised an information meeting in Brussels on February 4, 2003.
This meeting informed the research community in Europe and developing countries
on funding sources for forest research within the EC in general, and the FP6
in particular. A
CD and a website were developed to
widely disseminate the results of the meeting. The CD and website include documents
required for the preparation of proposals in response to the first calls published
under the EC 6th framework programme. It also contains an institution based
decision support chart, information on funding instruments and reading guides
for the calls. For information on how to obtain the CD, please send an email
to etfrn@etfrn.org.
6th framework programme
General
The ETFRN Coordination Unit is funded by Directorate General Research of the European Commission, under the International Cooperation (INCO) programme. ETFRN provides information in two directions. Upon request it provides the Commission services and the European Parliament with information on current issues, expertise etc. within the field of Tropical Forest Research. ETFRN also facilitates access to information on the programmes of the European Commission which may be relevant for those dealing with tropical and subtropical forest research.
The European Commission Directorates have been restructured and renamed. The new list, which links to the Directorate websites is available.
Environment and forests in developing countries
The European Commission has launched a website for the combined tropical forests and environment budget lines. It includes information on previously funded projects; a page on 'who does what' ie the role of different EC directorates; procedures; links to relevant official documents; and more.
