The diverse nature of the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) theme 'Science in Society' (SiS) as well as its range of stakeholders places complex demands on the relevant National Contact Points (NCPs). They need to act across a wide area of policy and policy papers related to the SiS programme and its topics and research areas, as well as FP7 rules and regulations.
Building on work done by the projects EUROSIS and EuroSiS 2.0, the project SIS.NET (Network of Science in Society National Contact Points) aimed to further strengthen the SiS NCP network. It targeted improved operations of each SiS NCP so they can provide more effective and better quality services to organisations in the EU, Associated Countries and International Cooperation Partner Countries (ICPC).
