FP7 (The Seventh Framework Programme) is the main EU instrument for the financing of scientific R&D programmes. The Programme supports the cooperation among universities, research centres and industries (small and middle enterprises included) and provides financial support for their joint projects.

FP7 is designed to enhance effectiveness of the previous programmes aiming to establish the European Research Area (ERA) and knowledge based Europe economy development.

EC is investing money in renewable energy sources in order to increase the overall efficiency of technology, improve their cost benefit effects and finally gradually reduce incentives on renewables.
