Eurida Research Management organises a 2-day workshop on Horizon 2020 and funding strategy building from 24th-25th September 2013 in Berlin.

The workshop organised together with Pongratz Consulting (Sweden) will cover the following Horizon 2020 topics:

• Horizon 2020 programme structure
• Funding schemes & project types
• Underlying EU strategies (Europe 2020, Innovation Union, Digital Agenda)
• Topic priorities
• Dissemination requirements and Open Access (to be compulsory for all Horizon 2020 projects)
• Legal aspects, regulations and financial rules

Strong focus will be put on crucial knowledge needed for building successful funding strategies in Horizon 2020. This includes building synergies with funding schemes which complement Horizon 2020 (such as COSME, Eurostars, Life+, Eco-Inno, CEF etc). Funding opportunities for SMEs will be presented and thoroughly explained in a dedicated session.

The workshop will also include a networking and partnership building session. Workshop participants will get the opportunity to introduce their research and expertise and present initial ideas for EU-funded projects either in oral short presentations or posters to attract project partners or to enter existing research partnerships. Initial project ideas can be presented and discussed with EU funding experts from Eurida Research Management and Pongratz Consulting.
