Publication of 2013 FP7 Transport Work Programme
The 2013 FP7 Transport Work Programme was published on 10 July, and includes maritime transport. The deadline for project proposals is 14th November. The Transport Knowledge Transfer Network (KTN) held a FP7 Funding Opportunities seminar on 5 July at MIRA to present in detail the process and scope for potential participants in this new EU funded collaborative R&D programme which covers all transport modes.

Among the presentations available from 5 July is the FP7 Surface Transport Workplan by Frederic Sgarbi of the European Commission. In this workplan, Sub theme 7.2 covers Sustainable Surface Transport and within this is a Group of Topics (GoT No. 2) that covers "Ensuring safe, green and competitive Waterborne Transport". It also covers Ocean of Tomorrow and cross cutting themes.
Projects relating to ships, boats, marine craft and their systems of all sizes, and their manufacture are potentially eligible if they meet the workplan themes and application criteria. Cliff Funnell's presentation "FP7 - why, how and what" describes the process.
The 5th July seminar covered also the EU Transport Horizon 2020 programme and the UK Transport Systems Catapult, and presentations on these topics are also available on the Transport KTN website in the FP7 folder above.
