EIR 0-6 Featured Websites

In this issue we feature two websites with relevance to the topic of eco-innovations: the SustainAbility website and the official Cordis FP7 website.

SustainAbility http://www.sustainability.com

Established in 1987, SustainAbility advises clients on the risks and opportunities associated with corporate responsibility and sustainable development. They also host a think tank working on various issues related to sustainability, as well as a forum, a bimonthly newsletter and periodic roundtables on relevant issues.
This website is highly relevant to Eco Innovation as they work at the interface between market forces and societal expectations, to seek solutions to social and environmental challenges that deliver long term value. Current highlights of the website include an overview of sustainable development in India, work on social entrepreneurship and a searchable database of leading environmental journalism.

Cordis FP7 Website http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7

With the commencement of the European Union's Framework Programme 7 on January 1st 2007, and the recent release of the first round of calls for proposals (See the Policy section of this newsletter), the official FP7 website is currently is an important resource. The site is a comprehensive collection of information on FP7: what is FP7, how it works, current open calls for proposals and guidelines for application. For a summary of FP7, see the Eco Innovation FP7 in brief page.
