Grants for Networking in Brokerage Events or Preparatory Meetings – 4th round

The Shota Rustaveli National Science Foundation of Georgia disseminates information about the EaP PLUS Project under EU Framework programme for Research and Innovation “Horizon 2020”.

The EaP PLUS Team announces the 4th and last ound of the Call for Grants for Networking in Brokerage Events or Preparatory Meetings. This grant for Networking financially supports the participation of local researchers from Eastern Partnership countries in Brokerage Events related to Horizon2020 and Preparatory Meetings for the development of H2020 project proposals.

Aim of the Grant scheme is to extend scientific networks between EU Member States/non-EaP Associated Countries and EaP countries as well to increase the number of EaP participants in submitted H2020 project proposals.

What is a Brokerage Event?

An event with a group of international researchers, policy makers, stakeholders allowing participants to network and find potential cooperation partners in specific scientific areas.

What is a Preparatory Meeting?

A meeting allowing researchers to prepare and develop project proposals with international partners targeting selected thematic calls within H2020.
