FP7 Service, funded by East Midlands Development Agency and run by GH Associates (GHA), offers free advice and support for SMEs and researchers who are interested in bidding for European funding through Framework Programme 7.

Services offered include:

• preliminary discussion of project ideas
• partner searching
• links with a range of relevant European networks
• bid writing advice and support

Grahame Mansell-Grace is leading the delivery of FP7 Service throughout the East Midlands. He is happy to meet researchers either on a one-to-one basis or as part of a departmental or Faculty research meeting. Please get in contact with Grahame to discuss your requirements further.

To find out more about FP7 Service, take a look at their publicity leaflet. Before you get in touch, it might be useful to put together a short (two-page) outline of your project. GHA have produced a guide to help you structure this effectively.

For further information and support on FP7, or if you’d like an informal chat about the services GHA offer, please get in touch with the Research Office.
