Eurescom FP7 Management Support
Professional support for FP7 research projects
Eurescom has two decades of experience in providing management support
for collaborative European projects. This includes the Eurescom programme,
the European Framework Programmes (FP5, FP6, and FP7) and the Celtic Eureka
Cluster.
Eurescom’s management support services enable FP7 project coordinators to focus
on managing the general direction of the project and the research results,
instead of administrative details. A major part of the administrative work
on micro-management level can be performed by experienced personnel at
Eurescom.
The services are provided for FP7 projects on the basis of
sub-contracting. Our management support services are complemented by
EuresTools, our
modular suite of project management tools.
