The next call for proposals for the "Cooperation" Programme, covering the "Transport (including Aeronautics)" theme, should be published in July 2011 and closed by end of this year. In order to inform you about the Work Programme and its novelties, the Directorate for Transport Research of the Directorate-General for Research of the European Commission is organising the FP7 Information Days for Transport, in Brussels, on 18 and 19 July 2011.

You are invited to attend this event, which is an opportunity to get first-hand information directly from Commission services and to network with potential partners. There will be opportunities for questions and clarifications.

One full day will focus on the "Aeronautics and Air Transport (AAT)" call, whereas the second day will be dedicated to the "Sustainable Surface Transport (SST)" call. Both days will also tackle the "Cross-cutting activities (TPT)" call.

For registration, please visit the "Transport Information Days" website http://ec.europa.euiresearch/transport/events/infodays2011_en.html, where you will also find the preliminary agenda of the two days. Registrations will be limited by the maximum capacity of the rooms.

Should you be unable to attend the Information Days, ail sessions will be broadcast live on Internet on the Transport Information Days website and ail presentations will be published on the site after the event.
