Welcome to FP7-4-SD.eu!

Please note that the FP7-4-SD website has been archived on 6 September 2018. All the interactive functions of the website (including the FP7-4-SD database, registration and login) are therefore no longer available. To get in touch with the project team please see here.

This website features the monitoring system FP7-4-SD.eu which enables to measure the contribution of the Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (FP7) to sustainable development.

The monitoring system FP7-4-SD.eu is a web-based tool developed by DG Research and Innovation with a view to monitoring the contribution of FP7 to sustainability goals, in line with the legal basis which states that "the overarching aim [of the Cooperation Specific Programme] is to contribute to sustainable development".

The monitoring system FP7-4-SD.eu enables to identify the bulk of FP7-relevant topics, projects, project participants and EC budgetary contribution to sustainable development. It also offers an interactive database that allows producing customized analyses, by setting filter options according to your specific interests.

The database of FP7-4-SD.eu includes:

  • data regarding about 3,200 topics, drawn from the analysis of all the WPs of the Cooperation SP published between 2007 and 2013, and
  • data regarding about 7,000 projects and their budgets are drawn from the projects flowing from the WPs published between 2007 and 2013

Results can be downloaded to your computer. Please note that in order to use the database you will be required to register yourself as a user. This is and will remain free of charge. Please also consult the policy briefs and other publications in the news & results section.

FP7-4-SD.eu is built upon a cross-referencing between the calls for proposals implementing the Cooperation Specific Programme and the operational objectives outlined in the Renewed EU Sustainable Development Strategy (Renewed EU SDS). It is based on:

  • ex-ante evaluations of expected impacts,
  • at FP7 topic level,
  • compiled by high level research institutes,
  • through qualitative screening.
