Dr Achilleas Mitsos, The European Commission Director-General for Research, visits CBS

June 22 from 10-12.30 in auditorium SP.s.03

This spring, the European Commission unveiled its visions for the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7), which for a duration of seven years (2007 to 2013), and with a staggering 73 billion Euro budget proposes a structure based on four specific programmes: Cooperation, Ideas, People and Capacities.

Copenhagen Business School is hosting Dr. Achilleas Mitsos, The European Commission Director-General for Research, to present his reflections on the FP7 and the challenges and possibilities that it poses for European research on social sciences and humanities. We encourage the Danish research community to join us in this endeavour and engage in a dialogue with the Director-General. This dialogue is of the highest importance as the FP7 will set the agenda and bear far-reaching implications for the direction of European Research in the next decade.
