HEALTH-NCP-NET
... is the network of officially appointed Health National Contact Points (NCPs) and Contact Points in International Cooperation Partner Countries (ICPC CPs).
The objective of HEALTH-NCP-NET is to improve our services under FP7 across Europe, providing a more consistent NCP support that will finally result in a higher quality of submitted proposals from applicants. The aim is to develop and a standard method of work, keeping in mind that NCPs systems vary in structure, personnel, funding schemes and advising capacity.
The mission of the project is to provide all Health NCPs and ICPC CPs with the necessary tools, guidelines to carry out their duty efficiently and, most importantly, to be part of a dynamic network. We ofer training sesions and encourage the exchange of experiences and best practices thus learning from each other and reporting back to the European Commission (EC).
HEALTH-NCP-NET activities
The activities in the context of this project are mainly benchmarking, networking, transnational brokerage events and the training programme. It is in the spirit of the project to share the existing know-how and to utilise already existing resources.
Attention is given to less experienced NCPs as well as to Contact Points in ICPCs, so that they rapidly acquire the know-how accumulated in other countries to perform their work efficiently. An effort is devoted to identify and involve in the network all official FP7 contact points from the ICPCs and to promote the enlarging of the network.
