Following the SC2 Info Day 2016 dedicated to “Food Security, Sustainable Agriculture and Forestry, Marine, Maritime and Inland Water Research and the Bioeconomy” challenge in Horizon 2020, on the afternoon of 28th June 2016, there will be a corresponding brokerage event organised by the EU-funded BioHorizon project.

The BioHorizon brokerage event will be dedicated to consortium building. The main part of the event will comprise bilateral meetings between wide spectrum of companies, universities and researchers, stakeholders from Europe and beyond interested in the same call topics. Following successful registration for the event, participants can pre-arrange these bilateral meetings automatically by means of a sophisticated, user-friendly match-making tool based on the profiles and research interests recorded in the system by participants.

The event will also provide participants a platform to present their project ideas in 5 minute presentations.

The official opening of 2017 SC2 calls is planned for 4th of October 2016 and the first deadline will be on 14th of February 2017, while Biotech calls will be open on the 10th of May 2016 with the deadline on 27th of October 2016.
