From the generation of the first project ideas to the successful implementation of projects in intercultural and multidisciplinary teams, the work of researchers and project managers involves a wide range of challenges. IncoNet EaP is running a summer school for young researchers and project managers from the Eastern Partnership Countries, EU Member States and Associated Countries active in the field of ‘energy efficiency’. The aim of the training is to learn more about project management processes in international scientific projects particularly related to Horizon 2020 as well as Marie Skłodowska-Curie
The upcoming conference will address ‘Health’ as a focus area of EU-Eastern Partnership Cooperation in Science, Technology and Innovation. IncoNet EaP’s 3rd Policy Stakeholders’ Conference will take place in Budapest, at Danubius Hotel Gellért, on 19-20 April 2016.
This grant scheme financially supports the participation of local researchers from Eastern Partnership countries in brokerage events related to Horizon2020 in the EU Member States or Associated Countries. The thematic priorities of the call are the three Societal Challenges targeted by the projects, namely ‘Health’, ‘Energy’ and ‘Climate Change’. Maximun funding per grant is 3000 EUR.
The InoNet EaP project is conducting a survey about the framework conditions and cooperation opportunities of STI in general and more particularly between the EU and the Eastern Partnership countries. With the related questionnaire addressing the six countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine), we would like to measure the development of potentials of bi-regional Science, Technology and Innovation cooperation over time. Following the first round in 2015 the survey is repeated to get comparative data for analysis.
ener2i participated in a workshop on innovation financing organised by the INNOVER-EAST project in Tbilisi, Georgia on 27 January 2016.
Under the support of the IncoNet Eastern Partnership project, energy experts (in fields of solar technology, photovoltaic, heating and cooling, ecological building material, etc.) from Eastern Partnership countries participated at the Energy Days Graz event, an international Energy Efficiency brokerage event. On 13 January RCISD provided H2020 training back-to-back with the brokerage event for experts from Eastern Partnership countries.
