Framework Programmes for Research and Technological Development
Framework Programme 6 and 7 (2002–2013) projects were generally funded through instruments, the most important of which included: Note also the FP7 Joint Technology Initiatives (JTI) in partnership with industry.
[citation needed] The programme ran from 2014 to 2020 and provided an estimated €80 billion of funding,[22][23] an increase of 23 per cent on the previous phase.
[citation needed] Horizon 2020 is also implementing the European environmental research and innovation policy, which is aimed at defining and turning into reality a transformative agenda for greening the economy and the society as a whole so as to achieve a truly sustainable development.
Armenia gained the status of associated country and Armenian researchers and organizations can participate in all Horizon programs on equal footing with EU member states.
As a result, technologically and commercially feasible service solutions are elaborated and deployed in an experimental testing environment.
[35] IMPETUS contributes by investigating potential microservices that serve the airspace user's needs in all phases of the operation life cycle, from strategical planning over pre-flight, in-flight and post-flight data provision.
Since information management is an infrastructural prerequisite of future unmanned traffic systems, the results support the European goal to gain in prosperity by means of the job and business opportunities of an emerging drone service market.
[36] Ensuring a scalable, flexible and cost efficient system, IMPETUS proposes the application of the Function as a Service paradigm and Smart Concepts.
To fulfil these purposes, the project started to characterize data processes and services of vital importance for drone operations.
Following the requirements derived from this preliminary studies, a Smart UTM Design is drafted in alignment with the U-Space concept, which describes a framework for a progressive implementation of services to "enable complex drone operations with a high degree of automation to take place in all types of operational environments, including urban areas".
The OpenAIRE Consortium is a Horizon 2020 (FP8) project, aimed to support the implementation of the EC and ERC Open Access policies.
[42] In 2010, the Austrian Research Promotion Agency launched a petition calling for a simplification of administrative procedures, which attracted over 13,000 signatories.
[45] In 2021, the European Commission services introduced several simplifications in the new framework programme Horizon Europe, to facilitate the work of the beneficiaries especially in the reporting phase.
