ESPON Info Day on New Calls and Partner Café - May 18th, 2010 - Brussels

The aim of the event is two-fold:

1. to support the launch of the next Calls for Proposals including the new funding opportunities and the conditions for applying;
2. to promote networking possibilities between potential project partners and to inspire new projects on the main topic proposed for the event.

The ESPON Info Day will focus on the presentation of the content specifications and eligibility criteria of the new Calls that will open on 3 May 2010. The deadline for submitting proposals for the calls is 28 June 2010.

In order to help potential applicants to prepare an application and provide answers to open questions, two sessions on “How Apply” are foreseen: the first one in the morning, in parallel with the Launch of Call for Proposals on Targeted Analyses; the second one will take place in the afternoon in the plenary.

All documentation related to the calls, including the procedure for applying, the eligibility rules, the evaluation criteria and the submission material will be made available on the spot in Application Packs which can also be downloaded from the ESPON Website from 3 May 2010.

Partner Café: Finding Partners Tool

In the afternoon the programme includes an ESPON Partner Café creating a forum for dialogue between potential project partners. The ESPON Partner Café is an opportunity to meet partners for setting up Transnational Project Groups aiming at submitting proposals for ESPON projects.
