- Database description
-
- The RTD-PROGRAMMES database provides information on Community Research
- and Technological Development (RTD) programmes and RTD-related
- programmes. The "programme" is the fundamental instrument through
- which the Community implements its RTD policy, fulfilling its Single
- European Act objectives. This term includes every major Community RTD
- initiative or action under which individual projects and activities are
- carried out usually through contractual agreements paced with outside
- organisations. Coverage begins primarily with programmes starting or
- continuing after 1986, as part of or in parallel to the 1987-1991 Framework
- programme. Selective records for earlier programmes are also included, as
- well as records for large "umbrella" programmes (e.g. Framework, JRC)
- whose individual research programmes are described in detail in separate
- records. Other CORDIS databases such as those providing information on
- projects or documents relate to this database via the programme acronym,
- which provides a consistent means of cross referring between them and
- enables users to search for information on a specific programme in several
- databases.
