According to the European Commission, “Horizon 2020 is the biggest EU Research and Innovation programme ever with nearly €80 billion of funding available over 7 years (2014 to 2020)”[1] but what is it actually? How does it work? What kind of funding is available for researchers? How to apply? As a researcher in global health, can I apply?
This framework programme is divided into different parts (also called “pillars”), one of them, Excellent Science, hosts the European Research Council and the Marie S-Curie Actions. Another pillar, called Societal Challenges, hosts collaborative projects with set topics addressing different questions. May it be through a personal grant or a collaborative research project, whether you are a post-doc, a researcher or a professor, there is most definitely something for you in the jungle of European funding.
With the upcoming publication of the calls for the 2018 – 2020 period, being aware of the funding opportunities offered by the EU is timely.
Please register for this workshop by May 1st.
