Info Day on New Calls and Partner Café in Brussels, 8 September 2010
The new Calls for Proposals on ESPON Projects were presented during a morning event which took place in Brussels on 8 September 2010.
More than 100 participants from 84 different Institutions and 16 countries attended the event, among them policy makers, scientists, experts, representatives of universities, research institutes and companies around Europe.
The aim of the event was two-fold:
- Support the launch of the new Calls for Proposals through information on project content, new funding opportunities and conditions for applying;
- Promote networking possibilities between potential project partners and inspire new project consortia to submit proposals for the Calls.
The European Commission DG Regio and the Belgian EU Presidency presented the current European policy development and related demands towards the ESPON 2013 Programme. The ESPON Coordination Unit provided participants with a brief on the achievements and prospects on the Programme.
Participants learnt about opportunities for taking part in ESPON project activities, the themes and objectives of the Call for Targeted Analyses and the Call for the ESPON Database phase II.
The session on “How to Apply” focused on the legal framework, the eligibility criteria, the modalities for applying.
The programme included an ESPON Partner Café creating a forum for dialogue between potential project partners for setting up Transnational Project Groups aiming at submitting proposals for ESPON projects.
