7/25/2019 Epl Dubai Workshop
2/5
The purpose of this workshop is to introduce Horizon 2020
as one of the biggest research and technology development
programs in the world and invite entities from MENA to bepart of
this program.
By exchanging the information and introducing the
procedures entities will be familiar with the program so
they
could start to find right partners to contribute to and join
the
program. This could take place at any level - from
organizational level for Universities and Research Centers
to
companies including SMEs, to individual level embracing
researchers, faculty members, and postgraduate students.
The objective is academic and industrial
engagement. The event is to introduce
Horizon 2020 including the concepts,
procedures and general program but not a
meeting to finalize the partnership
procedure. The expectation should be just
understanding Horizon 2020 and although
some entities could find right partner but it
is more limited to the robotic and industrial
technology area.
The main objective is Academic and Industrial engagement
while Europe and MENA could have more cooperation. It
can also help find relevant partners in some specific areas.
Having a larger number of participants and potential partnersin
MENA is what the EU is interested in, i.e. increasing
number of researchers or organizations involved in projects.
ObjectiveSharing the privileges of being involved in
Horizon 2020 program. Also the rules and
procedure and how to work together as a
consortium in H2020. More importantly
how to find the right partner for the next
calls and to enjoy and benefit fromworking with them!
