Centres/Networks of European research and innovation: follow-up of the CEBRABIC action

The objective is to capitalise on the work of the CEBRABIC action and extend the operations of the ENRICH (European Network of Research and Innovation Centres and Hubs) centre in Brazil to include also other countries in the region. The proposal should target at least five Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries in the initial phase, with a view to expanding the coverage in the medium-term. The Commission considers that a duration of 3-4 years for the next phase would be appropriate.

The proposal should show how the activities put forward for the next phase will deliver innovation-related services leading to focused tangible support and benefits to a well-defined client base of European researchers and innovators not yet established in the LAC country, and how the financing of the activities to be covered by this contract will fit with private financing raised by services to individual clients. It should also present a sound business plan showing how the activities of the centre will be rolled-o
