Level 2 proposals for SME

The European Commission is preparing for the second aeronautics call in the 7th Framework Programme. The call for proposals may be published as early as end of November 2007, with the proposal delivery date in early May 2008.

To support the participation of small and medium-sized enterprises in the industrial proposals, AeroSME together with the Industrial Management Group (ASD-IMG4) will hold an one-day event on

Wednesday, 12th December 2007 in Brussels,

presenting the Large Collaborative project proposals (Level 2 projects similar to the IPs in FP6), which are expected to be put forward in the 2nd call of FP7.

Small and medium-sized companies with RTD capabilities in the respective areas of technology, who wish to take the opportunity to meet with and to receive information first hand from the proposal co-ordinators, are encouraged to participate in the workshop. SMEs will have the opportunity to meet the proposal coordinators in person-to-person meetings.

Five project proposals, as listed below, will be presented. Please note that final topics and contents of the projects will be defined in the official Work Programme of the European Commission, which will be published together with the second Call.

In addition to the Level 2 proposals, the programme will include also an overview of the equipment sector's level 1 proposal ideas and a presentation on the current status of the Clean Sky Joint Technology Initiative.
