July 1 – July 5, 2013

Extended Submission Deadline: March 28, 2013

SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES

This workshop is designed to bring together researchers from across Europe, and the world, to discuss EU funded projects, and to share thoughts, ideas and case studies of previous (FP7), current (FP7) and future (FP8) European funded projects.

During the workshop we will focus upon sharing ideas on the preparation and development of a European Union (EU) bid, including scoping, developing a research team, co-ordination and delivering successful results.

A key focus of the workshop will be the establishment of new and exciting collaborations, so research visions for potential EU bids are welcome. Sessions will be organized where researchers can get together and work on a potential EU bid, or simply shape potential research ideas which may later be developed into a research bid.

The Workshop topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:

    • Preparing EU bids

    • Successful EU bids (case studies)

    • Sharing good practice

    • Successful co-ordination of research teams within an EU framework

    • Developing new research collaborations

    • Working towards FP8 (Horizon 2020)

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAPER SUBMISSIONS:

You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on above and other topics related to European Union research opportunities and bid. Submitted papers must not have been published or simultaneously submitted elsewhere.
