Info Day on New Calls and Partner Café in Brussels, 18 May 2010

The new ESPON Calls for Proposals were presented during a day of information for potential beneficiaries which took place in Brussels on 18 May 2010.

More than 200 participants from 172 different Institutions and 22 countries attended the event, among them policy makers, scientists, experts, representatives of universities, research institutes and companies around Europe.

 

 The purpose of the event was two-fold:

• to support the launch of the new Calls for Proposals including the new funding opportunities and the conditions for applying;
• to promote networking possibilities between potential project partners and to inspire new projects on the main topic proposed for the event.

The European Commission DG Regio and the Spanish ESPON Monitoring Committee Member presented the policy demand behind the need for further ESPON results.

 

Participants learnt about opportunities for taking part in ESPON project activities, the specifications and eligibility criteria of the new Calls, the modalities for applying.

In the afternoon the programme included an ESPON Partner Café creating a forum for dialogue between potential project partners for setting up Transnational Project Groups. Participants had the opportunity to discuss on common interest in ESPON Calls.
