Infoday on R&I Opportunities in Latin America, the Caribbean & Europe

PCI

Fecha del evento: 24-11-2015

  • For the first time a joint information day on R&I opportunities in Latin America, the Caribbean (LAC), & Europe will be organized in Brussels, Belgium on 24 November 2015.

This info-day is a joint activity organized by the following projects, which promote European cooperation with LAC: B.BICE+ (Brazil), ABEST III (Argentina), CEST+I (Chile), EU-MEX INNOVA (Mexico), and ERANet LAC. The event will also count on the participation of SENACYT – Panamá. The objective is to enhance EU-Latin American Science and Innovation cooperation.

Latin America is one of the emerging regions in technology, innovation and R&D expenditures. Many European researchers and institutions have developed strong research links with LAC researchers and their institutions. However, some opportunities within LAC national funding programmes are not well-known in Europe.  European researchers and research managers may not be familiar with the specific application processes & grants management procedures required by LAC national research funding agencies. Therefore this workshop will:

  • Promote awareness of LAC national research funding opportunities for European researchers with specific focus on Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico and Panamá
  • Strengthen European institutions’ expertise in applying for and managing LAC research funds
  • Provide case studies of research collaboration between LAC and European institutions
  • Grant firsthand information on the 2nd ERANet-LAC Joint Call to be launched in December 2015

The workshop addresses the whole European research community (funding agencies, researchers & research managers, administrators). Registration for the workshop will be free of charge.

Pre-registration is required here – until 15 November 2015

Further information on workshop, agenda and speakers will soon be available on B.BICE+ website
