The preparations for European Commission’s Framework Programme 8 (FP8) are currently taking place in Brussels.The FP8 budget is currently in discussions as European MPs are pushing for €100Bn but realistic figure is expected around €70Bn.
MPs are also pushing for simplified rules and legislations around the Framework Programme as it is currently very complex and time consuming especially for small businesses with fewer work force. FP7 programme was designd before today’s hot topics such as: energy, environmental factors, etc. FP8 is expected to specifically focus on renewables, new energy programmes, ICT and connected healthcare.
