If you are forward-thinking, attending a funder information event or conference can give you the edge when it comes to applying.
Looking at Horizon 2020 as an example, the following events are a sample taking place over the coming months:
- London, 28/7/15 to 30/7/15 – The Future & Emerging Technologies (FET) Unit will showcase the scheme’s possibilities at the Science and Information (SAI) Conference 2015, which gathers together researchers, industry practitioners and professionals in the fields of Computer Science, Electronics and Communication Technologies.
