Under the latest research funding programme - or Framework Programme 7 - 52.2 billion euros are available for projects in research, technology and development. The largest portion of this, 9.1 billion euros, falls under the ICT banner. UCL, the UK's leading participant in the programme, and the 12th largest recipient globally, has secured 8.45 million euros for projects since the start of 2008.

Michael Browne, Head of European Research & Development at UCL, commented: "This feat underpins and reflects UCL's commitment to strengthening Europe's scientific and technology base, and maintains the university as a global leader in ICT."
