Presenting at SPIRE PPP InfoDays on 21 October?

The SPIRE PPP will be featured at the Horizon 2020 Information Days on Public-Private Partnerships taking place in Brussels on 21 October. And you have just a few days left if you want to reserve your place to make a presentation during the related brokerage sessions for the 2015 calls.

The four research public-private partnerships launched in the framework of Horizon 2020 - Sustainable Process Industry, Green Vehicles, Factories of the Future and Energy-efficient Buildings - will be the main features during the European Commission Information Day on Tuesday 21 October 2014. The aim of the event is to give the research community an overview of ongoing activities in the PPPs under Horizon 2020, and to support the preparation of proposals for the upcoming 2015 calls.

To register for the event use the registration form on the European Commission website. But hurry as places are being allocated on a first-come first-served basis and all participants will need to register. Don’t expect to turn up on the day and get in!

SPIRE session and brokerage
A specific session dedicated to the SPIRE PPP will take place during the afternoon of 21 October in the Charlemagne building from 13.30 to 15.30 and will be followed by a brokerage and networking event from 15.30 to 17.30 during which interested stakeholders will have the opportunity to present their project ideas for the 2015 SPIRE calls and meet potential partners. The full Info-Day programme can be accessed here.

If you are interested in presenting a project idea during the brokerage session, contact Valeria Lautizi in the SPIRE secretariat with your name, the name of your company or organisation, the title of your project and the reference of the Horizon call topic addressed.

You can find more information on the 2015 calls for SPIRE under Horizon 2020 here.

To be sure of a place you must contact Valeria by the end of business on Monday, October 13. If successful in gaining a place to present you will be provided with a SPIRE Powerpoint template to organise your presentation on the day. See you there!
