Are you looking for project partners for the Science with and for Society within the calls of the 2020 work programme? Join our brokerage event and knowledge day in Warsaw 14-15 October, in the Copernicus Science Centre.

The last call for proposals of the Science with and for Society (SwafS) programme will open on 10 December 2019. To facilitate matchmaking and partnership building, SiS.net network organises two brokerage events for potential project proposers.

The first brokerage event will be organised in Warsaw/Poland on 15 October 2019. It will be linked to the knowledge day which will take place the day before (14 October 2019). 

Here is a direct link to the event website, including registration. 

The knowledge day on day 1 will highlight all topics covered within the Horizon 2020 SwafS call for proposals and will target SwafS applicants as well as SwafS stakeholders (including NCPs). It will serve as an information day including training elements on most useful topics important for SwafS applicants.

The brokerage event on day 2 provides a matchmaking session which will give participants the opportunity to join pre-arranged meetings with other participants in order to identify possible collaborators to facilitate the setup of SwafS project consortia.

During the brokerage event coordinators actively looking for project partners, will have the possibility to present their project idea during a flash presentation session.

A second SiS.net Knowledge Day & Brokerage Event is planned for December/January 2020 in Brussels.
