As subscribers to the UK Research Office (UKRO), Andreas Kontogeorgos will be leading our UKRO annual visit on Wednesday, 8th November 2017.

This meeting has been timed to coincide with the release of the Work Programmes for 2018-2020, giving attendees opportunity to hear all the latest news with the benefit of UKRO’s detailed knowledge and insights.

The sessions for BU academics will commence at 11:30 with a discussion of the implications of Brexit and how UKRO can assist with European funding applications. After a networking lunch, there will be a review of the highlights of the new 2018-2020 Work Programmes for Horizon 2020, which have just been released. The final open session will consider Industrial Collaboration within H2020. Attendees are welcome to drop in to sessions that are most relevant to them. There are also a number of 15 minute 1-2-1 sessions available with Andreas – here, you can discuss your European funding plans and ambitions with him. Please email Dianne Goodman, to book these separately to the main event.

Bookings for this event are now open to BU Staff and, so that catering can be arranged, confirm attendance by Friday, 3rd November.
