Germany is an important driver in the creation of the European Research Area, which the BMBF is actively helping to shape within the framework of joint programme planning. To this end, the National Contact Points (NCP), such as the NCP Materials or the NCP Nanotechnology, inform German applicants about European funding opportunities and advise and support them in submitting applications. This gives German researchers optimal access to funding opportunities under the European Commission's Horizon 2020 framework programme for research and innovation. In addition, there are other funding opportunities for European and international cooperation through the EU Commission, such as ERA-NET, Coordination & Support Actions (CSA), EUREKA, COST and Scientific and Technical Cooperation (STC).
