| Thematic Areas |
The broad objectives of FP7 have been grouped into four categories: Cooperation, Ideas, People
and Capacities. For each type of objective, there is a specific programme corresponding to the
main areas of EU research policy. All specific programmes work together to promote and
encourage the creation of European poles of (scientific) excellence.
