The IncoNet EECA project is a groundbreaking initiative that has forged a new network aimed at enhancing scientific collaboration between the European Union (EU) and Eastern Partnership countries. This has paved the way for significant advancements in research and development within the region.
National Contact Points: Bridging the Gap for Innovation
National Contact Points play a crucial role as intermediaries in the successful dissemination of knowledge and opportunities, ensuring that researchers and innovators are well-informed and actively engaged in the cooperative framework.
Topic List Documents: Guiding Scientific Endeavors
Structured documentation has been meticulously curated to guide participating researchers through the intricate landscape of subjects pertinent to their scientific pursuits within the network.
New: The IncoNet EaP Website - Gateway to Opportunities
The recently launched IncoNet EaP website acts as a central hub, providing comprehensive information and resources, essential for fostering inter-regional research initiatives.
IncoNet EECA Project Achievements and Upcoming Events
The project has seen numerous achievements, one of which includes the development of a grant scheme designed to financially assist local researchers from Eastern Partnership countries to participate in Horizon 2020 training and brokerage events in EU Member States or Associated Countries.
Training and Brokerage Event: Unite and Conquer
The upcoming training on November 29, 2016, will be conducted in conjunction with the Energy Networking4Innovation Brokerage Event, enabling researchers to form strategic alliances and make their research networks widely recognized.
Eligibility Criteria: Who Can Join the Movement?
Researchers wishing to take advantage of this opportunity must meet various criteria, including being associated with a research entity within the partner countries and having substantial research experience and international engagement.
Evaluation Criteria: Striving for Excellence
Applications will be assessed based on a comprehensive scoring system that emphasizes scientific excellence, international cooperation experience, and a clear commitment to contribute to Horizon 2020 calls.
Important Dates: Mark Your Calendars
The deadline for submissions is October 20, 2016, with the brokerage event scheduled for November 30, 2016, and the training a day prior. This is a significant opportunity for researchers to enhance their impact and build international networks.
Selection Process: Ensuring Fairness and Transparency
The selection process involves a formal eligibility and evaluation check by the Local IncoNet EECA Partners, Task Leader, and Coordinator to ensure a transparent and equitable selection of participants.
Energy Networking4Innovation Brokerage Event & Horizon 2020 Training
Not only does the IncoNet EaP financially support researchers to participate in brokerage events, but it also provides indispensable Horizon 2020 training to further empower participants in integrating into the EU research milieu.
Travel as a Catalyst for Cooperation
The vitality of international travel to these events cannot be understated—it serves as the very catalyst that transforms research cooperation from a concept into a tangible reality, facilitating a melding of minds and cultures that underpins scientific innovation.
