On 29 March, the EIT Community invites you to join the Hungarian Horizon Europe launch event organised by the Hungarian National Research, Development and Innovation Office.

The Ministry of Innovation and Technology and the Hungarian National Office for Research, Development and Innovation will organise a high-level online opening event on 29 March 2021 to mark the forthcoming launch of Horizon Europe. The event presents the EU’s most ambitious Research and Innovation (R&I) framework programme ever, with a budget of more than EUR 95 billion. In addition to the domestic results achieved during the previous framework programme, the event will present how targeted government measures, dedicated domestic resources and expert services can help Hungarian applicants to become even more successfully involved in the EU programme.

In order to increase the success rate of Hungarian businesses, knowledge centres, universities and research institutes, a new series of practice-oriented webinars has been launched by the Hungarian National Research, Development and Innovation Office.

During the launch event in Hungary, representatives of the European Commission and Hungarian policy makers will show how to support even more effectively tender participation. In addition, several successful Hungarian H2020 applicants and application evaluators will share their experiences in a panel discussion, after which it will be possible to ask questions to the relevant experts. Please, note that the event will be held in English.

Who? Speakers (among others) will include Mariya Gabriel, Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth; Martin Kern, Director at the European Institute of Innovation and Technology; László Palkovics, Minister for Innovation and Technology (Hungary).
