The Irish FP7 National Support Network is the prime source of information for Irish organisations on the European Union Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (FP7). The Framework Programmes have been the main financial tools through which the European Union supports research and development activities covering almost all scientific disciplines. FP7 has a budget of over €50 billion over the period 2007-2013.
