Welcome to health-ncp-net

HEALTH-NCP NET is the network of all officially appointed Health National Contact Points (NCPs). We provide information, guidance and technical assistance on European funds for health research projects. Our clients are researchers willing to participate and in the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7). Find here a summary about our network.

The project started in May 2008 and ended in April 2013, it was co-financed by the European Commission under FP7 and coordinated by Instituto de Saud Carlos III.

Health NCPs share information and good practices in the Health NCP Handbook.

This handbook is a comprehensive collection of practical guidelines on how to perform the main duties of a Health NCP efficiently. It describes a number of good practices from more experienced Health NCPs, and aims to achieve a transfer of knowledge between NCPs, thus providing a more suitable service to researchers worlwide. Serving NCPs from new member states and third countries is a priority of HEALTH-NCP-NET, so especial enphasis has been given to aspects of particular pertinence to them.

HealthCompetence.eu is a pan‐European Research Information System making keyinformation accessible on all projects funded by the EC within Health Science in the 6th and 7th Framework Programmes (FP6 & FP7). The information includes the projects’ results in terms of publications, patents and technology offers, and is an open source of information for the stakeholders, such as project coordinators, scientists, technology transfer officers, research administrators, policy makers & programme managers within academia, industry, the EC and other funding agencies.

How can EU-LAC cooperation in health research be financed efficiently? What governance structures are needed? Which scientific areas would be enriched by the bi-regional cooperation? These are the main questions that were addressed during the second “Scenario Building Workshop” implemented by the EU-LAC Health project. Read more
