Idea creation workshop for the third set of calls in Horizon Europe - Save the date June 9

Mar, 24 2022

All SAFER partners are invited to idea creation workshops June 9 to provide information exchange about and preparatory work for the third set of calls within the Horizon Europe framework programme. 

PURPOSE
The overall purpose of the event is to initiate dialogues about ideas and identify how you as a SAFER partner would like to contribute to potential projects and what knowledge you would like to build. Another purpose is, as always, to get to know each other for future deeper collaboration, in EU projects and elsewhere, and potentially find areas where joint projects could add value. As always, there are no guarantees that this will lead to funding, but similar to many other collaborative organisations we strongly believe in an open dialogue in these early phases. We also fully respect if there are commitments in existing consortia etc, that may limit the possibility to share all information. 

EXPECTED OUTCOME
After the workshop, our goal is that we have a number of initial project or work package ideas with a content that fits the SAFER research platform and our joint partnership as well as a plan for how we together can continue to develop the project ideas within each call and who would like to lead this work further where we see suitable opportunities.
 
SET-UP
During the day we plan to arrange workshops to start the dialogue based on calls from the draft work programme (still under development, but we hope to have a reasonably stable version in May/June). We will also provide some information about the calls and initiatives that we already are aware of and other opportunities that can be of value for SAFER partners. As a participant in the workshops, you will prepare your input in advance and be given the opportunity to feed in your initial ideas for the call you are interested in. Information about how you present your input/ideas will be sent out after registration.
 
NEXT STEPS
We will come back with information about the calls and ask for input about which ones we should prioritise to work with within SAFER, preliminary mid-May. After that, an invitation and agenda for the day will be distributed to SAFER partners.
