Science Europe workshop on Spreading Excellence and Widening Participation in European R&I programmes

As part of the 2022 SE Workplan and in a renewed effort to support capacity-building in all European countries, Science Europe has launched this year a series of networking and policy activities. With this, Science Europe aims to draw attention on the benefits, challenges and opportunities of the capacity building and collaborative instruments both for so called ‘widening’ and ‘non-widening’ countries.

This second workshop will focus on national instruments, the possible synergies between various instruments, and the use of European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF) and Partnerships. The main goal is to share good examples and facilitate an interactive exchange of views and experiences among Science Europe members. Participants will also be invited to reflect upon improving brain circulation across Europe.

As a reminder, the first workshop, which took place in May, focused on Horizon Europe’s dedicated instruments. A third, public, workshop will be organised in the framework of the Czech Presidency of the EU Council on 9-10 November in Prague.
