Abstract:

Horizon Europe, the 9th research framework program of the European Union, is starting this year. Many researchers at the Bjerknes Centre are working on research projects funded through the previous EU framework program, Horizon 2020, and are well aware of its advantages to perform excellent research and to build strong international networks. There is less awareness yet about opportunities for the Bjerknes community in the upcoming Horizon Europe. I will give an overview about the opportunities to receive funding for climate research in Horizon Europe. I will present the most relevant research programs, their planned budget and timing. I will show you where and how to find relevant call topics and deadlines. I will also explain planned changes in proposal templates, evaluation criteria and evaluation processes. The purpose of this seminar is that you are ready to go for Horizon Europe when the first calls for proposals are officially published in April 2021.

 

This seminar will be presented by zoom, March at 14:15. Link can be obtained by contacting the seminar committee.
