STREP Spread sheet – update:

Our STREP Spread sheet has been updated with major changes reflecting changes to information in updated book (above).

Changes in FP7 such as only a single activity per Work Package as well as possibility of Dissemination 100% funding has resulted in the sample spread sheet having a major rework.

 

Candidate Countries Status:

They are all 3rd countries unless they have an association agreement. The terminology of "Candidate Countries" is no longer used. Croatia, Turkey etc are now negotiating theirs.

 

Commission Email Changes:

Last year the Commission changed their Email contacts and URLs however, the old addresses were sill going to be operational for another year.

The year is almost up, so here is a reminder for those of you still using the old Email addresses.

 

firstname.surname@cec.eu.int should not be used anymore. The new format for Commission Email addresses is:

firstname.surname@ec.europa.eu  

 

The old URLs are also about to be stopped – please update your bookmarks now.

 

Old URL = europa.eu.int/comm/

 

New URL = ec.europa.eu in all addresses.
