EC publishes summary outcome of its consultation on simplification of the Framework Programmes

In July 2009, the European Commission launched a consultation on simplification of the implementation of the EU Research Framework Programmes. Ideas were sought under two broad headings: changes which could be implemented without modifying the legal base of the FP, and ideas which would require a change in the legal basis.

Three major themes were identified by respondents: Simplification of the FP structures and corresponding administrative and financial rules; Improved access to the programme and user support; Faster execution and optimised timing of deadlines.

The Commission is expected to issue a Communication on simplification of the Framework Programmes in April, taking into account submissions to its public consultation.
