Are you an assistant, associate or full professor looking to lead a Horizon Europe project proposal in the area of Future Materials and Technologies? Or would you like to join a consortium as a project partner?
Join our online matchmaking session this November to connect with researchers who share your interests and spark a new collaboration.
At this event organised by Una Europa’s Research Coordination Cluster, participants will present ideas and connect with potential partners, with the goal of building strong, international consortia.
Is this matchmaking session for me?
This event is aimed at assistant, associate and full professors at all 11 Una Europa partner universities. Early-career researchers are also welcome to join the matchmaking session, to connect with more senior researchers and contribute their expertise to a new consortium.
Participants' research interests should align with the Focus Area Future Materials and Technologies. The topics around Future Materials and Technologies are spread throughout the Work Programmes of Cluster 4, 5 and 6. You can view the full Work Programmes for each of the clusters and the full descriptions of each call here:
We have also created an easier-to-read suggested shortlist of calls to help you identify relevant opportunities in line with your project idea. Please note that this list is not prescriptive and if you are interested in other calls outside of it then you are free to suggest them.
