  5. Funding schemes: Types of projects Collaborative projects (CP) Small or medium scale focused research action (STREP) Large Scale Integrating projects (IP) Focused research projects with clearly defined scientific and technological objectives • Specific research objective in a clearly focused approach. • Comprehensive programme approach. Full innovation cycle from concept to pre-competitive services/products. Coordination and support actions (CSA) Coordinating or supporting research activities and policies Coordination Actions (CA) Support Actions (SA) • Designed to stimulate and encourage the participation of SME´s, civil organisations, remote searchers center. • Help in preparation for future Community research policy • Coordination or networking actions of research and innovation activities. Networks of Excellence (NoE) Designed for research institutions willing to combine and functionally integrate a substantial part of their activities and capacities in a given field, in order to create a European "virtual research centre" in this field.

  6. Build the Consortium/project partners How to find partners: • Cordis Partners Servicehttp://cordis.europa.eu/partners-service/ : • Publish your partners profile by entering your project idea or specific expertise • Search the Partners profiles submitted by other organizations • Update or delete your existing profile on-line at any time • Partners e-mail notification facility • National Contact Points: • For general advice and for finding partners from other countries • Ideal-ist projectwww.ideal-ist.net : • Provides a web-based platform for joining ICT projects and finding partners • Your own Networwing • PRO-IDEAL project
