lang: EN, FR, DE, ES, IT
kwd: EU, acronyms, R&D, research and technological development, research and development, abbreviations
cmt: The RTD-Acromyms database serves as a compact dictionary for R&D related acronyms and abbreviations. These acronyms represent programmes, projects, organizations, databases, installations and other R&D related items. As acronyms are defined abbreviations which can be pronounced as whole words such as "CORDIS", abbreviations that do not form a word such as "RTD" as well as codes which constituents do not derive from words (e.g.SESAME). Generally speaking the database entries are retrieved from English language sources but the acronym itself does not necessarily need to be of English origin. Some acronyms are given in the different language abbreviations. The content of this database is constantly growing as CORDIS is identifying new acronyms from EU documents, publications, and other sources relating to EU R&D activities. Mainly the acronyms are EU related but there may also be acronyms included which are not strictly adherent to the EU research area but CORDIS does not intend to offer a full coverage of all non-EU R&D related acronyms. The information contained in the RTD-Acronyms database may be retrieved using powerful search features.Searches may be made for user-defined search terms, Category or Programme Acronym.
