The programme has started to fund successful European Collaborative Research Projects from June 2007.
The programme is overseen by a Management Committee formed from representatives of each national EUROCORES Funding Agency (EFA) taking part in the EuroDEEP Programme.
The actual funding awarded to the proposals recommended by the international EuroDEEP Review Panel depends on the total amount of money made available in each country by the EFA supporting the programme. The use of funds will be subject to the national laws of each country as well as to the internal rules of each EFA.
Since the official launch of the Programme in June 2007, the ESF supports successful applicants involved in this EUROCORES Programme by networking the projects. This is expected to facilitate the exchange of information, communication and discussion of the results. Towards this aim, targeted activities will be organised during the programme’s lifetime. Web-based resources will also be developed to support the exchange of technical information and expertise and to promote collaborative interactions between European researchers working in this field.
