The European Commission has published a set of factsheets on thematic priorities which span the 2013 Work Programmes and calls for proposals.
The factsheets give a clear indication of how the 2013 calls have been designed as ‘bridges’ to Horizon 2020. Focusing on a range of thematic priorities, some of which cut across several FP7 Co-operation themes, the factsheets give a one page synopsis including facts and figures; amount of investment; priority rationale; and expected results.
Links to the factsheets are provided below, along with a list of the FP7 Co-operation Work Programmes which the thematic priorities span.
