Facilitating Research & Innovation Cooperation in the Danube Region

About this event

Facilitating Research & Innovation Cooperation in the Danube Region within dedicated calls of the “Widening participation and spreading excellence” part of Horizon Europe. This initiative of the the EU Strategy for the Danube Region (EUSDR) aims to bridge potential applicants from the Danube Region in upcoming Horizon Europe "Widening" calls in order to foster participation in this programme. The Horizon Europe Info day on 28 October will focus on the Horizon Europe part for "Widening participation and spreading excellence". At the Info day on 28 October 2021 the main conditions of the addressed Horizon Europe "Widening" calls with a special concentration on the various novelties, new possibilities and actions will be presented by a representative of the European Commission. In addition, some of the so far successfully implemented "Widening" projects in previous EU framework programmes will be presented. The Info day will be supplemented by the possibility of continuous (long-term) virtual matchmakings (B2B) meetings lasting until 15 March 2021 (the end of the last submission deadline of the targeted Horizon Europe "Widening" calls). The bilateral virtual matchmaking (B2B) meetings provide prospective applicants or researchers an opportunity to meet and discuss ideas for joint projects and to build consortia. When a match is ascertained, partners from the participating "Widening" countries (of the Danube Region) and "Non-Widening" countries (of Europe) are encouraged to have detailed conversations on the project cooperation in preparation for the Horizon Europe "Widening" proposal submission.
