Description
WP2 - Stronger interaction between researchers & participation in H2020
Objectives
This WP offers a set of comprehensive measures to support a stronger interaction between researchers from EU and EaP countries and to warrant increased participation in H2020 Framework Programme with the use of H2020 Info Days, NCP Trainings, Diaspora Workshops, Grants for networking and Webinars on H2020 and Innovation.
In particular, seven H2020 Info Days have been held within the project, as follows:
- Ukraine H2020, energy and environment (Kyiv, April 7, 2017)
- Armenia H2020, Spire (Yerevan, Nov 20, 2017)
- Georgia H2020, Spire (Tbilisi, Nov 21, 2017)
- Moldova ERA instruments (Chisinau, Nov 17, 2017) / H2020, energy, Spire (Dec 7, 2017)
- Belarus H2020, advanced materials, MSCA, health, transport (Minsk, Feb 20, 2018)
- Armenia Widening programme (Yerevan, Sept 13-14, 2018).
On the other hand, so far three NCP trainings were provided:
- The first NCP training event was developed by BelISA with the support of SPI during the 22nd of February in Minsk, Belarus.
- The second NCP training event was developed by NAS RA in Armenia with the support of SPI on the 29th of May 2018.
- The third NCP Training was organized in Georgia (by SRNSFG) on the 28th of September 2018.
Two NCP Training events are still to be organized: one in Moldova and one in Ukraine.
Targeted cooperation is encouraged between the EaP research communities and the national Scientific Diasporas in EU to stimulate synergies among them. Five Scientific Diaspora Workshops were held, one in each of these countries: Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine. Deliverable 2.3 is written and soon will be uploaded to the project’s website.
Grants for networking in Brokerage Events and Preparatory Meetings are continuously provided to EaP researchers in order to effectively link with their EU counterparts. The last call can be found here: https://www.eap-plus.eu/object/call/240.
Finally, innovative e-tools has been be established through webinars in order to provide continuous on-line assistance to EaP researchers. Find more information on webinars here: https://www.eap-plus.eu/participation-h2020/webinars.
