FP6 - 2002-2007

Released	28/03/2006

The general objective of international cooperation activities carried out under the current Framework Programme (FP6) is to help open up the European Research Area to the world. These activities focus on the mutually beneficial efforts of the Community and its Member States on the one hand and INCO target countries and other third countries on the other. The major areas of assistance are: third country participation in the various thematic programmes (see Art 6 of the Rules for Participation PDF - 132 KB), funding researchers' mobility (Marie Curie actions), and a dedicated programme for international scientific cooperation (INCO).
