Dear Subscriber,
Welcome to the May 2012 issue of the EPN Consulting Newsletter that is received by over 1,000 selected professionals in Europe. This month we send the newsletter a bit late due to holidays in Europe and in the UK plus heavy involvement in assisting clients in preparing project proposals. This period is rich of professional events organised across Europe; besides, a number of Information Days will be soon held in Brussels to disseminate information on the next FP7 calls for proposals. As a matter of fact, those calls are the last ones within the 7th Framework Programme goals and rules before the new Horizon 2020 programme due to start in Jan 2014. EPN Consulting is available to provide assistance to public and private organisations that would like to see their ideas converted into a sound proposal to be submitted. EPN Consulting is also an ideal partner for your project consortium as we have got a lot of experience in dealing with EC projects. Contact us to know more about how we can help you. EPN Consulting is a front runner within this fast evolution process: its network of professionals generates a lot of excellent know-how and in these days networking is essential to achieve ambitious goals. If you are not a member yet, don't wait any longer and join us: a number of exclusive services are waiting for you. The New EU Comers and the EU Accession Countries enjoy a fantastic 50%-discount on membership fees until 31 Dec 2012! Whilst the membership fees in GB Pounds will be kept at the 2011 price until the end of this year, those in Euros will be kept unchanged until 30 June 2012 despite the remarkable fluctuation of the currencies exchange rate occurred in the last month.
If you would like to advertise your products and/or services on this effective tool of information as the EPN Consulting Newsletter, please contact us.
Have you missed some of the previous issues? Don't worry, you can find all of them online on this webpage. Finally, if you are already an EPN Consulting Member, please remember that if you introduce new members both of you will receive a discount on your membership fees! As this newsletter is also published on LinkedIn, Ecademy and Twitter, we ensure our members to gain an immense visibility within and beyond Europe! We wish you a busy May!
This EPN Consulting Newsletter is delivered to your mailbox to inform you about EPN Consulting news, events, business opportunities, happening in Europe.
It is sent to both members and non-members willing to foster innovation in Europe.
You receive this newsletter because you have been in touch with EPN Consulting or its CEO in the past.

Lots of new FP7 calls will open in July 2012
As usual, in July a number of FP7 (7th Framework Programme) calls for proposals regarding several areas (Transport, Security, Environment, Energy, SMEs, etc.) are expected for publications.
We invite all our readers to go through their to-do list and think of strategic priorities of their organisation (either public or private, large or small) as there is a good chance that a funding scheme may be available to suit their needs and EPN Consulting can help them identify it and prepare a good proposal.
Heavy competition is expected so we advise you to start this process on time and get in touch with us as soon as possible for a free inquiry.
P.S. Do you know that Small-Medium Enterprises (SMEs) can claim up to 75% for their research activities? According to the European Commission rules do you qualify as a SME? Check here!

The Website of the Month: The Transport Research Innovation Portal (TRIP)
This month EPN Consulting has chosen the Transport Research Innovation Portal.
The Transport Research & Innovation Portal (TRIP) gives an overview of research activities at European and national level.
Formerly TRIP was known as the Transport Research Knowledge Centre (TRKC). For TRIP both the website and content have been enhanced.
- For in-depth information, consult the programme and project profiles.
- For a wider view, look at the thematic reports and policy brochures.
