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

This grant will be awarded without call for proposals in line with Article 195(e) of the Financial Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1046/2018 and Article 11(2) of the Rules for participation and dissemination in ""Horizon 2020 - the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (2014-2020)"", Regulation (EU) No 1290/2013

The objective is to capitalise on the work of the NearUS action and ensure the operations of the ENRICH (European Network of Research and Innovation Centres and Hubs) centre in the US beyond its initial operational phase. 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 US, and how the financing of the activities to be covered by this contract will fit with private financing
