There is an enormous volume of information available about the Framework Programme from a huge number of sources. However, the bulk of this information looks from the European perspective, and can leave NZ researchers thinking “How does this affect me?”.
The aim of the FRENZ email service is to cut through this information, and provide details on the calls for proposals, outcomes of calls, and the policy changes that can affect calls and proposal development, but with a NZ spin. This information is split into relevant research disciplines, and emailed to registered researchers.
Registration to receive emails is simple – just enter your details here. You can choose to receive any or all updates, and can unsubscribe at any time. However, if you’d prefer not to receive the information direct, the emails will also be archived on the FRENZ website for easy access by you and your colleagues.
