Research on Energy and Transport (including Aeronautics) will be funded under the specific programme on 'Co-operation'. FP7 allocates €32.413 billion to the Co-operation programme, supporting co-operative research among universities, industry, research centres and public authorities throughout the EU and beyond. 'Co-operation' is sub-divided into ten themes. Transport (including Aeronautics) and Energy are two of these themes.

Four new calls for proposals for Energy under the 7th Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development are scheduled to be published on 3 September 2008.
FP7-ENERGY-2009-1 (managed by DG RTD): a general call focusing on research with a long-term horizon
FP7-ENERGY-2009-2 (managed by DG TREN): a general call focusing on research with a short- and medium-term horizon and on demonstration
FP7-ENERGY-2009-3 (managed by DG RTD): a call for coordination and support actions
FP7-2009-BIOREFINERY (managed by DG RTD): a joint call including Theme 2 - Knowledge based Bio-Economy, Theme 4 - Nano-Material Programme and Theme 6 - Environment - also see below for event on 16 September 2008

With the adoption of the European Commission's proposal for the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) the European Union's online research and innovation portal, CORDIS, is now providing a new service, offering news, official documents and stakeholder contributions to the debate. The service covers the four specific programmes - Cooperation, Ideas, People and Capacities - and the themes proposed by the Commission. It is interactive and is designed to allow users to both follow and get involved in the debate leading to the adoption of FP7. In FP6, energy and transport issues fell within the sub-programme "Sustainable development, global change and ecosystems", however FP7 includes as separate sub-programmes on Energy, Transport (including aeronautics) and Environment (including climate change).
The Sixth Framework Programme is now closed.
