National Contact Points (NCPs)
FP7 checklist
If you are already involved with a FP7 project, or are looking to become involved, why not use FEAST’s FP7 checklist in to help you. You can access it at: www.feast.org/members/fp7checklist.
Each country in Europe has appointed National Contact Points, or NCPs, for FP7. NCPs’ role is to help with all general and technical aspects of being involved with FP7. In Australia, FEAST staff have been officially appointed to this role.
We strongly recommend all Australian researchers involved with FP7 to speak with us before submitting a proposal, we know all the mistakes that you and your European project coordinator are likely to make and can help you navigate them.
Below is a summary of the FEAST staff with NCP roles, and their areas of responsibility. The official EC list of NCPs can be found at cordis.europa.eu/fp7/third-countries_en.html.
