European Research, Innovation and Science Commissioner Máire Geoghegan-Quinn said that knowledge is the currency of the global economy and if Europe wants to continue to compete in the 21st century, we must support the research and innovation that will generate growth and jobs, now and in the future.
Launched in 2007, FP7 has a total budget of EUR 55 billion for research and innovation. It has so far supported some 19,000 projects involving over 79,000 participants (universities, research organisations and businesses) across all EU Member States, with a total EU investment so far of EUR 25.3 billion. By 2013 it is estimated that FP7 will also have directly supported some 55,000 individual researchers' careers.
