The programme of Academy Research Projects currently gives academic recognition and modest financial support to about 50 projects, and the Academy is now looking to expand this through the adoption of a small number of new projects in the social sciences. This programme does not offer the kind of major funding currently available via the ESRC, and it is expected that any project supported under the scheme will need to be able to demonstrate that it is independently financially viable.

A significant proportion of Europe's economy is organised to make profits not only for investors.
The so-called Social Economy, including cooperatives, mutual societies, non-profit associations, foundations and social enterprises, provides a wide range of products and services across Europe and generates millions of jobs. When policy-makers work to improve the business environment in Europe, they need to ensure that their efforts take account of the specific characteristics of enterprises, particularly SMEs, in the Social Economy. Introduction Companies set up to make a profit for their owners are not the only form of enterprise. In many areas of economic activity, groups of individuals have got together to set up their own structure to promote their own or general public interests. Common Characteristics of Social Economy Enterprises They contribute to a more efficient market competition and encourage solidarity and cohesion.

The following guidance is available, but not replicated here, as updated versions are regularly placed on the WEFO website: Closure of some Priorities and Themes. Closure of some Priorities and Themes Applicants seeking European funding directly from WEFO need to be aware that several Priorities and Themes are now closed to any new expressions of interest. Given current and potential commitment levels for the ERDF and ESF programmes 2007–2013 in Wales, WEFO has undertaken an internal review of the available funds for each priority and theme of the programmes. The position will remain under review by WEFO to address current and future funding programme commitment levels and therefore may be subject to change in the future.

Cross Cutting Themes Research Project (Objectives 1 & 3) The Cross Cutting Themes of Environmental Sustainability, Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and Equal Opportunities are built into the Structural Fund Programmes operating in Wales between 2000 and 2006. The implementation of the Themes is based around two approaches: vertical integration, where the promotion of the Themes is a specific focus of a number of individual programme measures; and, horizontal integration, which requires each project to promote the Themes, even if they are not the central focus of the project.
Substantial efforts have been made to integrate the Themes into the implementation of the Programmes and therefore WEFO considered it to be important to evaluate the wider benefits of the approach which has been taken, with a particular focus on drawing out lessons for the future. Themes shines the spotlight on topical employment and skills issues. European Framework Programme. European Union 7th Framework Programme (FP7) FP7 is the EU’s instrument for funding research in Europe. Since their launch in 1984, Framework Programmes have played a lead role in funding multi-disciplinary research and cooperative activities in Europe and beyond. They are an important source of funding to the UK research base. The Research Councils sponsor the UK Research Office (UKRO), which is a key source of guidance and information on all aspects of EU funding for research and higher education.
FP7 encompasses funding from 2007 to 2013 totalling €53.2Bn across 4 priorities: European funding themes.
