Eurostars Event – 12th October 2016
Amsterdam, the Netherlands
Interested in setting up an R&D project with international partners? On Wednesday 12th October 2016, the Netherlands Enterprise Agency, together with the EUREKA Secretariat and Enterprise Europe Network are organising an international event dedicated to the Eurostars programme (www.eurostars-eureka.eu) at the Amsterdam Arena in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The Programme will start at 9.00 and finish at 18.30.
This year’s event will be two-fold:
1) Project Building
An important part of the Eurostars Autumn event is reserved for the Matchmaking of companies and research organisations from the Netherlands and 35 other Eurostars countries. The Matchmaking will be organised by Enterprise Europe Network. During the event companies are also invited to pitch their ideas to a group of peers. Eurostars works on a bottom-up basis, meaning that representatives from all technology fields are welcome to participate in the Programme. The event will focus in particular on:
Life Sciences and Health
ICT and Electronics
Industrial Manufacturing, Materials and Transport
Energy Technologies
Food Technologies
2) Providing Information
There will be opportunities to learn more about the Eurostars Programme (application process, eligibility rules, tips and tricks for writing successful applications) and the national funding rules of your potential project partners. Representatives from the Eurostars Secretariat in Brussels and national Eurostars offices will be present at the event so you can discuss your ideas with them.
