EU brokerage event on KETs in Horizon 2020: save the date

On 6 October 2015, there will be an EU Brokerage Event on KETs (key enabling technologies) in Horizon 2020.

The event will take place in Strasbourg and focus on upcoming calls in the following thematic fields:

• nanotechnologies and advanced materials
• biotechnologies
• advanced manufacturing and processing
• energy efficiency in buildings (PPP EeB)
• factories of the future (PPP FoF)
• sustainable process industries (PPP SPIRE.

It will also take into account the societal challenges defined in Horizon 2020.

The objectives of the brokerage event are to present the European Union’s new NMBP Work Programme 2016-2017 of the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation "Horizon 2020" and to prepare future co-operations between participants. Corresponding calls for proposals will most likely be published in the third quarter of this year, for submission in early 2016.

Participants will have the opportunity to present their own project concepts and to meet representatives from companies, SMEs, universities and research organisations to exchange ideas during pre-arranged meetings. Brokerage activity support will be offered by representatives of national contact points and the members of the Enterprise Europe Network.

More information on this event will be available shortly.
