The project provides administrative, managerial and methodological support for the realisation of the Join Programme Initiative (JPI) A Healthy Diet for a Healthy Life.

This project builds on the results and the achievements of the FP7 NMP NCP Network project NMP TeAm. NMP TeAm 2 aims at assisting the NMP NCP Network to provide good quality and high standard services to the proposers and therefore helping simplify access to FP7 calls, lowering the entry barriers for newcomers, and raising the average quality of submitted proposals.  To this effect the four main objectives of this projectare:  

• to optimise the tools at hand to the benefit of the networks clients, such as the partner search system developed in NMP TeAm, the use and further development of the NMP NCP Network website and other communication tools,
• to maximise the impact and add value to organised European wide events by organising parallel partnership building events, joint NMP NCP stands and joint awareness campaigns,
• to standardise the Network skills and provided services through the creation of documentation to aid the work of the NCPs and the actualization of the charter of services, staff exchanges, twinnings and targete trainings and
• to forge and utilize the links with NMP related Networks, Technology Platforms, the Enterprise Europe Network and the International collaboration programme. 

SiS.net is the international network of National Contact Points (NCPs) for the Science in Society (SiS) area in the EU’s 7th Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (FP7). The network unites more than 60 representatives from all European and number of non-European countries.

Environment NCPs cooperating to improve their effectiveness

This project is a set of coherent activities and tasks that will foster further cooperation between Environment NCPs from EU member States and Associated States. The main goal is to improve the services NCPs offer to potential proposers. The main outcomes will be: a) strengthened cooperation between NCPs across Europe by setting up new and effective means of communication, b) increased quality of services offered by NCPs to proposers with the aim to increase the number and quality of project proposals submitted in response to FP7 calls for proposal and c) integration of other non-EU NCPs into the EU NCP network in order to increase mutually beneficial research and technological development between Europe and International Partners Cooperation Countries.

The HEALTH-NCP-NET is the network of all officially appointed Health National Contact Points (NCPs) for the 7th EU Framework Programme (FP7). The consortium consists of 19 not only EU countries, and the project spans across 39 countries in Europe and the world.

The NCP network is the main provider of adice and individual assistance for all FP7 issues:

help to better understand the FP7 program, help to find the topic in priority Health in FP7, help to bring researcher and SMEs together in the right projects, help to support SMEs and researchers for successful participation in the priority Health of FP7.

The aim of the SEREN2 coordination action is to link the different NCPs of the Security research programme, to initiate coordination in the network, and to improve the quality of the of the network and, as a matter of fact, the ability of its members to deliver a high level of services to the comunity.  Security Research presents several specificities as compared to other COOPERATIO's thematic priorities. In consequence, perhaps more than in the other FP7 programmes and thematic priorities, there is a strong necessity to inform and support the European Security Research community to participate to FP7. Project activities will focuse on organisation of partnering and brokerage evants, developing of a partner search system and other useful tools which are directly available from project website.

ERAWATCH is a long term initiative jointly carried out by the European Commissio's Directorate-General for Research and Innovation (RTD), the Directorate-General for Enterprise and Industry  (ENTR) and the Joint Research Centre - Institute for Prospective Technological Studies (JRC-IPTS) based in Seville (Spain). ERAWATCH is the European Commissio's information platform on European, national and regional research systems and policies. Its main objectives are to support policy-making in the research field in Europe and to contribute to the realisation of the European Research Area (ERA)

The TransCoSME project supports activities of the European Network of SME National Contact Points. The aim of the project is to enhance the quality of services that are provided to FP7 project proposers and participants by SME NCPs in their respective countries. The intent is to increase the NCP work efficiency, improve their qualification and to enhance networking between NCPs in Europe. 

NICER III project follows the NICER and NICER II projects, and is focused on supporting Czech participation in European research, especially in the 7. Framework Programme (7. FP) -  providing information on the 7. FP, assisting in preparation of the projects and search for partners, enhancing knowledge and readiness of participants necessary for a succesful involvement in international reseach as well as other activities related to building the European Research Area (ERA). An integral part of the project is monitoring Czech participation in the Framework Programmes for the needs of state administration and also publishing activity.

The project is a European Commission´s initiative and its objective is to collect and analyze information on national innovation systems and policies. All EU member and candidate countries take part in the project, as well as other countries from Asia, South and North America, and North Africa. Technology Centre AS CR represents the Czech Republic as a project partner.
