The European Commission, ESA, and funding support for GMES-related innovation
The aim of the Space theme under FP7 is to support a European Space Programme focusing on applications such as "Global monitoring for environment and security" (GMES) with benefits for citizens and for the competitiveness of the European space industry.
This will contribute to the development of a European space policy, complementing efforts by Member States of the European Union, and by other key players - including the European Space Agency (ESA).
Overall, the EU Member States have earmarked more than € 1.4 billion for funding this theme over the duration of FP7.
Links to background information on the 7th Framework Programme and the Space theme, can be found on the SME Resources pages.
