Who should attend?

This conference is tailored for universities, research institutes, and companies, with a special focus on small and medium-sized enterprises. Attendees are encouraged to actively participate in established and emerging technology networks connecting researchers, entrepreneurs, and key influencers within the Horizon Europe framework.

Why attend?

Approximately 100 experts will deliver concise presentations focusing on Horizon Europe calls, where a substantial €95 billion is available until 2027. 

Presenters stand to gain a threefold advantage – the spotlight to showcase their research, dedicated networking opportunities during breaks, and a waived conference fee, making it an unmissable opportunity to shine on the European stage. 

It’s also a unique chance to expand your network for designing and implementing innovative projects.

What to expect?

The agenda is rich with success stories, introductions to proposal and project services, and, most importantly, a series of parallel workshops on “European Projects Seeking Partners.” 

These workshops represent a unique blend of knowledge exchange and networking. Topics covered include Innovation Procurement (PCP/PPI), ensuring a valuable opportunity to find synergies among existing and new projects and generate new ideas to enhance the adoption of PPI.
