One of the aims of the Eastern Partnership PLUS (EaP PLUS) project is to support the stronger interaction of EaP researchers with EU counterpart & their participation in H2020. The development of Grants for networking financially supports the participation of local researchers from research entities, industry, municipalities and SMEs.

This grant scheme financially supports the participation of local researchers in brokerage events and preparatory meetings related to Horizon2020 in the EU Member States or Associated Countries. Such events will allow researchers to network with EU consortia, to build-up partnerships for subsequent joint research activities and to make their institutions and/or their research networks better known.

Maximum funding per grant is 1000 EUR.

The deadline for the first round of applications is 30 June 2017. (Latest date of the selected event: 29 September 2017)
