3COOPERATION
Special attention will be paid to ensuring there
is effective coordination between the thematic
areas and to priority scientific areas which cut
across themes, such as forestry research,
cultural heritage, marine sciences and
technologies.
4COOPERATION - Health
- Ethical, legal and socio-economic issues will
be taken into account within each of the
following activities.
5COOPERATION Food, Agriculture, Fisheries, and
Biotechnology
- Objective
- Building a European knowledge-based bio-economy
by bringing together science, industry and other
stakeholders, to exploit new and emerging
research opportunities that address social,
environmental and economic challenges. - (plus specific issues under Activities)
6COOPERATION - ICT
- Objective
- Improving the competitiveness of European
industry and enabling Europe to master and shape
future developments in ICT so that the demands of
its society and economy are met. ICT is at the
very core of the knowledge-based society.
activities will also help reduce the digital
divide and social exclusion. - Rationale
- ICT research activities will also draw on a
broader range of scientific and technological
disciplines including psychology, pedagogy,
cognitive and social sciences and the humanities.
7COOPERATION Nano-sciences, Nano-technologies
- Activities will also investigate the impact of
nano-technology on society and the relevance of
nano-science and technology for the solution of
societal problems.
8COOPERATION -Energy
- Activities
- Development of tools, methods and models to
assess the - main economic and social issues related to energy
- technologies and to provide quantifiable targets
and - scenarios for medium- and long-term horizons
(including providing scientific support for
policy development).
9COOPERATION - Environment
- Activities must consider the socio-economic
aspects of policies and technological
developments, whenever relevant to the topic.
10COOPERATION - Transport
- Rationale
- As well as the strong industry relevance of the

management and impact assessment of possible
consequences.
12COOPERATION
- More detailed information in Specific Programme
Cooperation and in Work Programmes of each
thematic area
13IDEAS
- Objective
- This programme will enhance the dynamism,
creativity and excellence of European research at
the frontier of knowledge. This will be done by
supporting "investigator-driven" research
projects carried out across all fields - Activities
- This action will respond to the most promising
and productive areas of research and the best
opportunities for scientific and technological
progress, within and across disciplines,
including engineering and social sciences and the
humanities.
14PEOPLE
- a set of "Marie Curie" actions.
- Fellowships for researchers at all stages of
their careers.
