Horizon 2020 Fast Track to Innovation - Paul Matthews
This presentation provides information on funding and support available to organizations in Northern Ireland for participating in Horizon 2020, the EU's research and innovation program. It outlines the Invest NI Horizon 2020 Innovation Voucher, which provides £4000 to help SMEs work with knowledge providers to engage with H2020. InterTrade Ireland offers a travel scheme providing up to £500 for travel within Ireland and £350 within Europe for collaborators on North-South projects. Non-financial support includes help finding partners, guidance from the NICP network, and services from Invest NI's EU R&D liaison office in Brussels monitoring funding opportunities and policy. Contact information is provided for members of the NICP network who can advise on specific domains.
