Webinar on Funding possibilities for US researchers in Horizon 2020

Horizon 2020, the EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation, is the world's largest funding programme for research projects. With a € 77 billion budget, it offers many possibilities for researchers and innovators of all thematic areas from around the world - international cooperation is highly encouraged. This webinar will deal with:

  • General structure of Horizon2020
  • Outlook on legal and financial aspects
  • Possibilities specifically for US researchers

The presentation is done by the German National Contact Point for International Cooperation (6th Challenge).

This seminar will be the first of a series of BILAT USA 2.0 webinars. This one taking a more general approach, the next four webinars will deal with the four priority areas for EU-US cooperation (Marine and Arctic research, Transport, NMP and Health). The following webinars will go into details of specific H2020 calls and conditions.
