3. 國立清華大學 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.

4. 國立清華大學 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.

7. 國立清華大學 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. What is a NCP (National Contact Point)?

8. 國立清華大學 Centralized Decentralized Higher Flexibility Lower Flexibility 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. The organization of NCPs in U.K., France and Germany
