In
November 2007 the publication of a new call for proposals
(FP7-KBBE-2008-2B) of research projects to be funded by the
Commission of the European Communities is expected. Deadline might be in February 2008. The
total budget for activities partially or totally related to foods is of 25.58 M€ (Table 1)
Analysing
the draft of the activities to be funded (Table 2), it
seems to be difficult that professionals of olive oil can submit proposals
focused on this foodstuff exclusively. However, there are activities in which
professionals of olive oil could contribute to a consortium organised by
professionals of other subjects. For example, “measures aimed at promoting
healthy eating habits”, “obesity prevention in the Mediterranean area”, “aquatic
anaerobic bioremediation”, etc.

Activities
outside of the calls for proposals
In
order to comply with the prevailing requirements for monitoring, evaluation, and
impact assessment, several studies (implemented through public procurement) will
be performed. It will include the ex-post impact assessment of relevant
activities under the 6th Framework Programme and studies of the
longer term impact of Community funding of research in related
areas/disciplines/sectors, including from previous Framework
Programmes |

SCS, Small collaborative Project; CSA,
Coordination and Support Actions.
Small
collaborative projects (“small
or medium-scale focused research actions”) are projects with a requested
Commission contribution up to € 3 million and Coordination and Support Actions (CSA)
up to € 1 million, unless stated otherwise in the work programme.
The
minimum number of participating legal entities required for all funding schemes
is set out in the Rules for Participation. In the case of Coordination and
Support Actions aiming at supporting research activities and policies, the
minimum of participating legal entities is one while this number is three for
CSA aiming at coordinating research activities number of partners. For
collaborative projects for specific cooperation actions dedicated to
international cooperation partner countries identified in the work programme,
the minimum conditions concerning participation rules are stated for each
topic
