Welcome to this webinar series, organised by the universities in Lärosäten Syd. The series will present the opportunities for collaborative research and innovation in Horizon Europe.
The European Union’s next framework programme for research and innovation – Horizon Europe – will begin on 1 January 2021. The largest part of the budget will go to the part, or pillar, of the programme called Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness. This pillar funds collaborative research and innovation projects requiring partners from at least three countries. Participating in such projects is a great opportunity to further researchers’ international networks, and thereby careers.
The pillar is divided into six thematic clusters. We organise a series of five webinars to cover all six clusters. During each webinar, you will get a short introduction to Horizon Europe and learn more about the purpose and context of each cluster, as well as first information about the draft topics and calls that are planned for 2021-2022. The various missions that will features in Horizon Europe will also be covered.
