Types of action: RTDTypes of action: RTD
– Research and technological development (R&D) projectsto obtain new knowledge intended to develop or improve products, processes or services and/or to meet the needs of Community
policies
– Demonstration projectsto prove the viability of new technologies offering potential economic advantage but which cannot be commercialised directly
– Combined R&D and Demonstration projects
Types of action: supporting activitiesTypes of action: supporting activities
– Thematic Networksfor bringing together manufacturers, users, universities, research centres around a given Science and Technology objective, including
co-ordination networks between Community funded projects – Concerted actions
Actions co-ordinating RTD projects already in receipt of national funding, for example to exchange experiences, to reach a critical mass, to disseminate results, etc.
– Accompanying MeasuresActions contributing to the implementation of a Specific Programme or the preparation of future activities of the Programme, also seeking to prepare for or to support other indirect RTD actions
