 "FP 7" (the Seventh Framework Programme for research and technological development) is the European Union's chief instrument for funding research over the period 2007 to 2013 in the European Union and 13 associated countries.

Part of FP7, the European Research Council (ERC) is the first European funding body set up to support investigator-driven frontier research. The ERC is a flagship component of the 'Ideas Programme' of EU FP7.  ERC grants are awarded through open competition to projects headed by starting and established researchers, irrespective of their nationalities, who are working or moving to work in Europe - the sole criterion for selection is scientific excellence.  

Prof. Nowotny, the President of ERC since 1^st March 2010 will present the principles of this new funding organisation, and some of the early accomplishments in terms of calls and funding which are open to researchers from all over the world.
