For the eleventh time, the conference invites researchers and entrepreneurs from North Rhine-Westphalia and all other regions throughout Europe to find new research and innovation (R&I) partners for Horizon Europe projects.

Participants are invited to give a short presentation (ideas and/or results) with a focus on Horizon Europe calls, where a budget of approx. € 95.5 billion is available up until 2027.

The networking event is structured in parallel workshops focussing on eight topics:

• Cluster 1: Health
• Cluster 2: Creative Industries
• Cluster 4: Digital Technologies
• Cluster 4: Industrial Technologies
• Cluster 5: Energy
• Cluster 5: Mobility
• Cluster 6: Food, Bioeconomy, Natural Ressources, Agriculture and Environment
• Innovation Procurement (PCP/PPI)

The event targets universities and research institutes as well as companies, especially small and medium-sized enterprises. Participants are invited to become involved in established and new technology networks between researchers, entrepreneurs and multipliers related to Horizon Europe.

Giving a short presentation (ideas and/or results) or finding a partner by talking to decision-makers opens doors for new research and innovation projects in Europe with a focus on Horizon Europe.

Registration deadline is 8 February 2024.
