Participant Portal

The Participant Portal is your entry point for electronic administration of EU-funded research and innovation projects, and hosts the services for managing your proposals and projects throughout their lifecycle.

Currently the portal covers mainly actions under the 7th EU-Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (FP7). In the future, its coverage will be extended to other programmes in the area of research and innovation.

Community Research and Development Information Service (CORDIS)

CORDIS is an interactive information portal to support European research and innovation cooperation.

The objectives of CORDIS are to:

• Facilitate participation in the activities of European research.
• Publish the results of projects funded by the EU.
• Promote the dissemination of knowledge in order to reinforce the innovation capacity of enterprises.
• Contribute to bridge the gap between citizens and science.

European Research Area (ERA)

The European Research Area is composed of all research and development activities, programmes and policies in Europe which involve a transnational perspective. Together, they enable researchers, research institutions and businesses to increasingly circulate, compete and co-operate across borders. The aim is to give them access to a Europe-wide open space for knowledge and technologies in which transnational synergies and complementarities are fully exploited.
