THE EUROPEAN NETWORK OF HE CLUSTER 4 INDUSTRY NATIONAL CONTACT POINTS

Project description

Easing the path to EU funding

Navigating EU funding can be daunting, especially for newcomers in industrial research and innovation. Support structures vary from one country to another, resulting in missed opportunities and unequal access. With this in mind, the EU-funded NCP4Industry Plus project aims to build a more cohesive support network by harmonising services provided by National Contact Points (NCPs) and fostering knowledge exchange. The project ensures consistent, high-quality guidance for applicants throughout Europe. With 20 core partners and an open-door approach to the wider Cluster 4 Industry community, NCP4Industry Plus equips stakeholders with the tools, training, and information they need to access EU funding and boost industrial competitiveness.

Objective

The objective of the NCP4IndustryPLus (Industry NCP Network) is to establishuniform services provided by National Contact Points (NCPs) within the industrial sector. Thiscan be reached by enhancing the exchange of knowledge, best practices, and sharing opportunities. The Cluster 4 Industry NCP Network will serve as point of reference for the Cluster 4 Industry NCPS, offering trainging, information and support to applicants regarding participation in Cluster 4 Industry.
The newly formed consortium comprises 20 organizations, representing Member States, Associated Countries, and Widening Countries. However, the entire network of Cluster 4 Industry NCPs extends beyond these 20 project beneficiaries and is open to everyone needs support in Cluster 4 Industry. The R&I community will have access to pertinent background information.
Through the uniform NCP support, NCP4IndustryPlus aims to raise awareness of funding opportunities in the Industry sector among various research and innovation communities, and to encourage the exchange of knowledge and ideas among a diverse range of stakeholders and institutions.
