Horizon 2020

Venue: Lecture Theatre H0.51, Humanities Building, Central Campus

Time: 10.30 - 12.00

The new EU research funding programmes, which will be known as Horizon 2020, will start on 1 January 2014 and will last until 31 December 2020. A significant amount of information about Horizon 2020 has been published by the European Commission and more will become available during 2013. Eevi's presentation will cover:

  • the EU's research priorities for 2014- 2020
  • the latest information on the Horizon 2020 programmes and budget
  • the timeline leading up to 1 January 2014.

This session will be of interest to academics and researchers who want to know more about how they can access European funding for their research and to administrators who support the pre- and post-award processes, either in the central administration or in departments and research centres.
