Network of Excellence

Network of Excellence

Network of Excellence (NoE) are medium-sized research projects funded by the European Commission in the FP6 and FP7 (Seventh Framework Programme) funding programs designed to strengthen scientific and technological excellence on a particular research topic through the durable integration of the research capacities of the participants. They aim to overcome the fragmentation of European research by:
* gathering the critical mass of resources
* gathering the expertise needed to provide European leadership

NoE also have to spread excellence beyond the boundaries of its partnership

NoE projects are composed by a minimum of 3 partners coming from 3 different countries from Associated states. However, they usually involve much more partners (20). The typical duration of such projects is 5 years and a maximum of 7 years. The budget granted by the Commission is several million euro.

Note: a NoE should not really be considered as a research project, since its aim is not to conduct research (although it may fo some prospective and vision work), but rather to contribute to the clarification of the concepts in the field covered by this NoE.
