INCOBRA-ENRICH Info Day H2020 in Recife

The event, hosted by Porto Digital on Wenesday 21st of March, was a workshop aimed at training and informing the local and regional innovation agents (researchers, managers of public and private companies and innovation hubs) on how to access the funding and cooperation opportunities from Horizon 2020 (H2020) – the European Union (EU) program for research and innovation (R&I) with several investment modalities in the areas of science, technology and innovation.

At the end of 2017, the European Commission announced the new H2020 Work Program for the 2018-2020 period, with a budget of €30 billion. The new program strengthens international cooperation in R&I by investing more than € 1 billion in 30 flagship initiatives in areas of mutual benefit.

Participants came from all over the Northeast of Brazil, as well as representatives from the European Commission, Euraxess and INCOBRA – a consortium of 14 (Brazilian and European) institutions and also financed by the H2020 programme.

In the Infoday, national and international speakers, project managers and representatives of the innovation environments of Brazil and Europe discussed how to finance research, development and innovation projects in a cooperative way with the European Union.
