Within a global context characterized by more and more rapid inter-relationships between R&I actors, know-how sharing and competencies’ networking represent the highest institutional value. In such a scenario, human capital becomes the main driver of research institutions, and international mobility becomes a key networking tool, as well as a means for internationalising processes of scientific institutions. Considering this, the event organised by OGS, in collaboration with the Agency for the Promotion of European Research and with the participation of European Commission, intends to focus on opportunities offered in the new European funding programmes to promote European mobility and to enhance human capital as well as to promote networking opportunities between scientific institutions and intersectoral partnerships with the private sector. The second part of the workshop will be focused on how to draft a successful proposal. Managed by an expert evaluator with outstanding international experience, this session will be held in English and will focus on RISE (Research and Innovation Leaders Exchange) Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions and COST Actions (European Cooperation in Science and Technology).
The agenda includes the participation, as speakers, of Ms Alessandra Luchetti, Head of Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Unit (European Commission), as well as Ms Monique Bossi, National Contact Point for Research Infrastructures.
The second part of the day includes a workshop concerning how to draft an European project proposal. The workshop will be conducted by Ms. Dragana Avramov, expert evaluator with extensive international experience: this session will be held in English and will focus on Marie Skłodowska-Curie RISE Actions (Research and Innovation Staff Exchange) and on COST Actions (European Cooperation in Science and Technology).
