Abstract
The objective of Idealist7fp is to stimulate, encourage and facilitate the participation in current and future Community ICT research of organisations of all types. Special focus is put on newcomers and SMEs, including organisations from New Member States (NMS), Associated Candidate Countries (ACC) and INCO comprising countries from broader Europe, Mediterranean countries and non-European Countries with high technical and economical potential. The proposal relies on the specific information and assistance structures, basing on the network of NCPs, established by the Member States and the Associated Countries at local, regional and national level. However the activities of Idealist7fp are incremental to the NCPs as they address the international aspects not covered by the nationally funded NCP role.It is built upon:-Experience gained from the five preceding projects covering FP4, FP5 and FP6: Idealfit, Idealist, Ideal5FP, Idealist34 and Idealist-Extend-Further enhancement to partner search support-Focused support for SMEs in Information and Communications Technology sector and for organisations new to the Framework Program-Strengthening international cooperation with support for NMS, ACC and INCO-Provision of support for countries with SandT international agreements-Provision of training and mentoring for the less experienced country representatives-Promotion of opportunities and Idealist services-More focus on the Quality aspects of the supportBased on the positive experience in the current project Idealist34, there will be further emphasis on Quality Control in our activities via an independent Project Quality Management function.
