Ideal-ist Face2Face Brokerage Event @ ICT Proposers Day
When: 19-20 September 2019
Ideal-ist invites the ICT community to engage in pre-arranged meetings at its Face2Face Brokerage event organised to facilitate the formation of consortia for upcoming Horizon 2020 calls and beyond. Ideal-ist, the network of National Contact Points for ICT in Horizon 2020 is organising this event in cooperation with EEN (European Enterprise Network) within ICT Proposers' Day.
This networking event will target a wide range of actors in the ICT sector from academy and industry from Europe and beyond, interested in sharing new project ideas and finding collaboration partners for ICT oriented calls across Horizon 2020.
At our previous events, over 1200 participants from 58 different countries, representing universities, research institutes, SMEs and large companies all across Europe and beyond, joined the brokerage event co-organised by Ideal-ist and EEN, and held over 6000 meetings. Come and be part of our 2019 brokerage event! Take advantage of this unique opportunity to connect with potential partners from all over the world! |
Proposal Idea Checks - a free Ideal-ist service
To help potential applicants with their ideas, Ideal-ist National Contact Points (NCPs) will be available near the Face2Face brokerage area to review any project ideas. Discuss discretely with NCPs whether your idea will fit within the topic description from the work programme you have chosen or help you find another.
Registration: Register for Face2Face meetings on the b2match system. Mark "Yes, I would like to book a free proposal idea check" on your profile. You will receive further instructions and an appointment schedule in September.
Cascading Grant Arena
When: 19-20 September 2019, by appointment or on-the-fly
Where: Face2Face area
Financial Support to Third Parties (FSTP) – also known as Cascading Grants – can be found in topics from platforms and pilots, digital innovation hubs, to FET flagships. And it doesn't stop there: I4MS, SAE, IoT-EPI, AI4EU, FIRE, and more. Complex terms, a multitude of initiatives, yet so many opportunities! But what do these mean in practice? In simplified terms, they describe an opportunity offered in many Horizon 2020 topics for consortia to reach out and involve new actors in their research and innovation process
Registration: Register for Face2Face meetings on the b2match system. Book a meeting with a Cascading Grant Project representative. A list of projects will be published when bookings open at the end of August.
