Projects for the European Green Car Initiative received a boost of €63million after the European Commission published 53 calls for proposals in various thematic areas of the Seventh Research Framework Programme.
Calls were given for proposals in health; food, agriculture and fisheries as well as biotechnology; information and communication technologies; nanosciences, nanotechnologies, materials and new production technologies; socio-economic sciences and humanities; space; security; energy; and the environment.
The transport theme encompasses both air and surface transport aimed at benefiting citizens, respecting the environment, and increasing the competitiveness of European industries in the global market.
As part of the call, the sole topic addressed within the Green Cars Initiative is an integrated EU demonstration project on electromobility.
