The Grants Office and the RDS are pleased to coorganize their first joint event, this one focusing on Horizon Europe – the European Research and Innovation Framework Programme and how to prepare a strong proposal.

The morning will focus on collaborative projects and give an update on the Status of Switzerland within Horizon Europe. In particular, we will focus on the area of "digital" research. Here we especially address members of the University network Responsible Digital Society but the event is open to researchers from all faculties.  

During the networking lunch there will be the possibility to talk to the speakers and staff from the Grants Office.

The afternoon session will be dedicated to the ERC (European Research Council) Grants, with opportunities to ask questions and receive first-hand experience from ERC panel members and successful Grantees.
