The 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. For this end the scheme will financially support the EaP researchers from:

  • Research entities e.g. research institutions/organizations, higher education institutions etc.,
  • SMEs and Industry,
  • Local authorities,
  • Civil Society

to attend either a Brokerage Event or a Preparatory Meeting.

 

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.

 

In this scheme particular attention will be given to applications related to preparation of proposals addressing the SPIRE which are explicitly encouraging the participation of EaP partners into the proposals. For SPIRE calls see page 62 in this document: https://ec.europa.eu/programmes/horizon2020/sites/horizon2020/files/h2020-leit-nmbp-2018-2020_pre-publ.pdf
