Dear Reserchers

EIC Pathfinder Open supports bottom-up, early-stage science and technology research, laying the foundations for radically new future technologies, with a vision to have a transformative effect on our economy and society. Projects should entail cutting-edge high-risk/high-gain research which dissolves traditional boundaries between sciences and disciplines with a clear potential to create new markets and address global challenges.

Enspire Science will provide an online EIC Pathfinder Open training session. The course covers the basics of this funding scheme and, more importantly, how EIC Pathfinder Open is different in comparison to other Horizon Europe grants. The course will touch on all that is unique to this funding scheme, and clearly identify the additional EIC Pathfinder Open attributes for success.

Date: 29.11.2022 at 10.00-15.00 Place: Online Registration to the course: 15.-27.11.2022.

Registration will be done with a registration form (see below), which every participant will be asked to fill in in order to sign up. Due to GDPR regulations, Enspire Science will not be able to send course invitations to participants who will not register through this form.
