Session
Description:
Horizon 2020 is the biggest EU Research and Innovation programme ever with nearly €80 billion of funding available over 7 years (2014 to 2020). Horizon 2020 is open
to everyone around the globe. Nevertheless, it still requires knowledge and skill to navigate towards a successful grant!
This webinar will cover the basics about Horizon 2020 for non EU-members. How to apply, to which programs and when, what gets funded and where might
our own resources be necessary. The session will also deal with special considerations of 1) a European applicant wishing to partner with a non-european partner and 2) a non-european institution wishing to partner on a H2020 grant application. And what does
the recently signed "Implementing Arrangement" between the US and the EU actually mean?
Learning Objectives:
This webinar is aimed at mid to senior level research managers who are interested in accessing H 2020 funding either as European applicants or their
non-european partners.
Webinar participants will learn the basics of how to apply for H2020 and special considerations of 1) a European applicant wishing to partner with a
non-european partner and 2) a non-european institution wishing to partner on a H2020 grant application.
