What is FRENZ?


FRENZ (Facilitating Research co-operation between Europe and New Zealand) is a joint initiative between the New Zealand Ministry of Research, Science and Technology (MoRST) and the European Commission (EC) to enhance the engagement of the New Zealand research, science and technology community with the European Union’s Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (FP7).

The FRENZ Mission


The FRENZ platform seeks to facilitate the engagement of NZ research organisations and their researchers with the European Union's FP7 and other related EU opportunities. The FRENZ services seek to facilitate an increase the quality, quantity, profile and impact of NZ-EU research co-operation under FP7 through the development and execution of a suite of activities to increase the awareness of opportunities for NZ engagement and facilitate the realisation of these opportunities.


FRENZ aim


The aim of FRENZ is to provide the necessary information, guidance and support required to promote the effective participation of the New Zealand research community FP7.

 

The Framework Programme is neither a golden nor a poisoned chalice!

 

It may not be appropriate for the collaboration that you’d like to develop. The topics in the current call might not fit with your research. You might not yet have the contacts to get into a major collaborative project. FRENZ aims to help you identify your fit with the Framework Programme, and develop a strategy for engagement where appropriate.

 

Alternatively, you may have heard from colleagues in Europe that the Framework Programme is too bureaucratic, and involves too much effort. It’s true that the rules are complicated, but FRENZ is here to help you learn the rules to concentrate your effort in those areas where you have the best chance of making an impact.

 

In essence, FRENZ aims to help you make an informed decision on how and when to engage with the Framework Programme.
