At the moment, the European Parliament and the Council are debating on the European Commission's proposal for the 7th Framework Programme (from 6 April 2005). The decision for FP 7 is foreseen for the end of this year. In September 2005, the European Commission published their proposals for the Specific Programmes of FP7. The first calls for proposal submission should be published in the beginning of the year 2007.
One of the nine themes forseen in the program is «Environment (including Climate Change)».
