DRAFT program for workshop here
GREENET is the international network of National Contact Points (NCPs) for Cluster 5 “Climate, Energy and Mobility”, supporting research and innovation activities for the Horizon Europe Framework Programme.
This workshop is a great opportunity for relevant stakelholders, to be informed about the available funding opportunities and to follow useful presentations about the services offered by NCP networks. Participants will also have the opportunity to receive useful tips to prepare a successful proposal for Cl5, as well as EU Missions related calls. The event offers pitching and networking opportunities for participation in proposals for submission to the open and forthcoming calls under both thematic areas.
The event is open to all stakeholders interested in Horizon Europe Cluster 5 and EU Missions related topics, including universities, research centres, companies, SMEs, public authorities, municipalities, associations, clusters, NGOs, consultants with relevant expertise and other research and innovation actors. Newcomers and participants from Widening countries are particularly encouraged to attend, in line with GREENET’s objective of widening participation and supporting the integration of new actors into Horizon Europe consortia.
