Practical insight on EU RTDI Programmes for new Member States

The objective of the event is to provide a concise yet useful overview of EU research, technological development and innovation (RTDI) programmes, and share practical knowledge and experience regarding participation in these programmes. Given that new Member States are the biggest beneficiaries of Structural Funds, a special attention will be given to synergies between Structural Funds and FP7 and CIP in order to allow them to envisage how to better benefit from each programme.

The event targets individuals and participants from all eligible organizations for EU RTDI
programmes (practically all legal persons and entities). It does not place specific focus on
a particular discipline since the objective is to reach the widest possible audience and to
raise awareness of the programmes and create potential partnerships with an
interdisciplinary approach.

The speaker at the workshop are:
- Michelle Perello (European Projects Advisor - BELGIUM)
- Ömer Ceylan (Project Manager - STELLA Consulting)
- Mario CALDERINI (President of Finpiemonte - Pidemont Regional Development Agency)
- José Joaquin HERNANDEZ BRITO (Director of Innovation Department - Canary Islands' Development Agency)
