International Cooperation Partner Countries (ICPC):

146 countries; 3 categories according to income per capita (low-income, lower-middle-income, or upper-middleincome), based on UN and World Bank criteria. Defined in Work Program. Income categories also used for ICPC lump sums financing. ftp://ftp.cordis.europa.eu/pub/fp7/docs/icpc-list.pdf Industrialised Countries: USA, Japan, Canada etc.

Important definitions

Public body means any legal entity established as such by national public law, and international organisations. Research organisation means a legal entity established as a non profit organisation which carries out research or technological development as one of its main objectives. Higher and secondary education establishments = Term used by Financial Regulation / Implementing Rules, includes universities, schools for applied sciences and similar. SMEs mean micro, small and medium-sized enterprises within the meaning of Recommendation 2003/361/EC in the version of 6 May 2003 (OJ L 124, 20.5.2003, p. 36). International cooperation partner countries three categories according to income per capita (low-income, lower-middleincome, or upper-middle-income); will be identified as such in the work programmes. NOT developed countries (e.g. Japan, USA, Canada, etc.)

FP7 Funding Schemes
