TECHNOLOGICAL PLATFORMS - FUNDING
Preferably, ETP funding should stem from the financial instruments provided by the EC for the Seventh Framework Programme in relation to collaborative research. Therefore, ETPs can submit the proposal to the calls that best suit their interest.
In some cases, the Commission may use the same mechanisms for the implementation of agendas. These cases correspond to ambitious projects requiring large public and private capital and a great number of researchers; an example of this would be the Joint Technological Initiatives (JTI).
