SEcurity REsearch NCPs network 5

Project description

Support for ‘security’ cluster NCPs

The Horizon Europe network of National Contact Points (NCPs) is the main structure to provide guidance, practical information and assistance on all aspects of participation in Horizon Europe. NCPs are also established in many non-EU and non-associated countries. As national structures established and financed by governments of the 27 EU Member States and the states associated with the Horizon Europe framework programme, the NCPs give personalised support on the spot and in the applicants’ own languages. In this context, the EU-funded SEREN5 project will improve and professionalise the skills of the Cluster 3 NCPs across Europe. Cluster 3 focuses on ‘civil security for society’ issues.

Objective

The main aim of SEREN5 is to improve and professionalise the skills of the Cluster 3 (CL3) National Contact Points (NCPs) across
Europe, simplifying applicants’ access to Horizon Europe (HE) calls and raising the average quality of submitted proposals.
Starting from the assumption that the NCP role is crucial in order to raise the participation in HE in terms of both quality and quantity,
SEREN5 overall concept is that the CL3 NCP community requires knowledge, skills, competences and a proven comprehensive
suite of tools to convey a message in a multicultural and multi-disciplinary environment such the one that characterises Cluster 3 and to effectively support its broad based constituency. Therefore, the project is based on three pillars: (i) NCPs capacity building and competence development, (ii) development of targeted and high quality services (events and tools) for CL3 applicants and stakeholders , (iii) CL3 community building and general mainstreaming of CL3 NCPs in Horizon Europe.
