Testimonials
Tim Hülser
Institute of Energy and Environmental Technology e. V. (IUTA)
The event gave me a deep insight into European research and innovation projects and the corresponding funding opportunities in Horizon 2020. Furthermore, it was highly beneficial for building networks leading to common proposals.
Martina Reuber
Chamber of Agriculture of North Rhine-Westphalia
The event made it easy for me to get in contact with international researchers. It was a great way to discuss project ideas for Horizon 2020 –combining interdisciplinary approaches – and to get an insight in the exploitation of former European projects.
