/ Training: Last calls of Horizon 2020 and getting ready for Horizon Europe

Last calls of Horizon 2020 and getting ready for Horizon Europe – Workshop

The last calls of Horizon 2020 have been published. With more funding than ever the workshop will help you identify the key calls for 2019 and 2020. In addition, Horizon Europe – the successor of Horizon 2020 – is right around the corner and will start in 2021. In Brussels, policy makers are working on the priorities of the programme but we already know the general content of the new framework programme for research and innovation. The workshop will give you knowledge on how to prepare for and influence Horizon Europe. Moreover, we will give you concrete tools to gear your organisation to be successful in Horizon Europe. The workshop will be tailor-made to fit your needs and wishes and is relevant for any organization or enterprises that wants to participate in Horizon Europe or advise on European soft funding and fundraising. With a starting point from the 3 building blocks below we will develop a presentation, training and interactive workshop together with you.
