General framework
The main reasons for the existence of European action in the field of research and innovation are the need for a common policy, better coordination of activities, the use of research applications to benefit other policies, and promotion of the role of science in modern societies. In this light the 7th framework programme, like its predecessors, constitutes the main instrument of the European Union.
