4. Agenda About NCP-Taiwan
Introduction of FP7 & NCP  Rules for participation FP7  Energy Info. Day in Brussels
Conclusion

5. NCP-Taiwan Office is working for the benefit of all Taiwanese organizations, which have an interest in EU Framework programmes (FP).

6. NCP-Taiwan’s objectives
To carry out National Science Council’s mission of reaching out to the global R/D communities, in this case, the European Union’s Framework Program (EU-FP).
To build then strengthen the relationship with the EU-FP7.
To inform and assist academic and industrial communities in Taiwan about EU-FP7 programs and furthermore to take part in many of the EU-FP7 projects in Europe.
To help to build further NCPs in Taiwan when needed and train qualified staffs for them when required.
Above all, the EU-FP7 NCP-Taiwan office is a service oriented organization.

7. FP7 Introduction
Framework Program started from 1984, and FP7 is the 7th program. It lasts for seven years from 2007 until 2013.
The program has a total budget of over € 50 billion.
The program aims to strengthen the innovation ability of EU, and provides funding and collaborative services for the researchers in Member States.
FP7’s short-term objective is to establish the “European Research Area (ERA)”, and become the "most dynamic competitive knowledge-based economy in the world as its long-term objective.

10. What is a NCP ? (National Contact Point)
The main tasks of NCP is to inform and assist potential participants and contractors in ongoing EU-FP projects.
NCPs have been set up in all Member States and Associated Countries worldwide.
1262 NCPs in EU Member States and associated states, and 233 NCPs in third countries.
The existing NCP systems in Member States and Associated Countries show a wide variety of organizational structures.

11. The organization of NCPs in U.K., France and Germany
Lower Flexibility
Higher Flexibility
Centralized
Decentralized
NCP in U.K. is a decentralised network, ministries join the programs separately based on their own assessments. Higher flexibility but a bit difficult to integrate resources.
NCPs in Germany are generally ruled by the government to involve in FP projects. Well structured, but lesser flexibility.
France seems to take the middle approach.
The number of NCPs: in UK:37; France: 67; Germany: 79.
