EIC Transition & EIC Patfinder Infoday

In collaboration with the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2) and the European Innovation Council (EIC), the UAB Research Park is organising an informative session dedicated to the EIC Pathfinder and EIC Transition programmes. The session is aimed at researchers and teams interested in submitting proposals to these calls.

The event will offer the opportunity to learn directly from an EIC Programme Officer how to prepare key sections of proposals using a practical approach based on evaluation criteria. The programme includes presentations by the National Contact Points (NCPs) of the EIC Pathfinder and EIC Transition, a roundtable discussion featuring success stories and a question-and-answer session with evaluators.

In the afternoon, attendees will be able to arrange individual meetings with the NCPs to receive personalised advice on their project ideas.

The event is open to anyone in the community interested in EIC calls.
