Horizon 2020 means opportunities for universities of applied sciences
Opportunities
for participation presented to universities of applied sciences by EU
funding, especially by the EU's research and innovation funding
programme Horizon 2020, were the main topic of the conference
"Mobilizing Universities of Applied Sciences for Horizon 2020”, hosted
by the Bavarian Research Alliance (BayFOR) on 4 February 2015 in
Brussels.
For over 150 participants from 20 countries, the event was also an
opportunity to pave the way for successful participation in
international projects through networking.
"Universities of applied sciences are in an excellent position to
benefit from and contribute to the EU funding programme Horizon 2020.
The added value of the universities of applied sciences lies in their
skills to bring research results to the market, reach out to regional
partners and foster cooperation with industry, notably SMEs," said
Robert-Jan Smits, Director-General of the DG Research & Innovation
at the European Commission, who took part in a roundtable discussion.
