“Enjoy Brussels Region financial support to setup your next 2015 Horizon 2020 proposal”

Preparing a proposal to submit to a Horizon 2020 call is time-consuming and the selection results are uncertain.

To cover part of the investment, you can get financial support through Innoviris CONNECT grant (for SMEs, info available in French / Dutch).

The grant covers costs for the preparation and setting up of collaborative European research & innovation proposals. It covers up to 70% of the personnel costs incurred during and for the preparation of the project, the travel costs needed for the formation of the consortium and the preparation of the project, or the costs of translation work or legal services carried out by an external provider.

The maximum amount is 25.000 € for project coordinators and 15.000 € for project partners. The calculation of the grant is done by using a simplified budget calculation based on standard costs.

Of course in 2015 you will still enjoy expert guidance from the NCP Brussels team!

To provide you with always more useful information, the NCP Brussels website inaugurates its new “Past Events” webpage. From now on, it will be possible to display, next to the upcoming events, those whiwh have already taken place. The scope is to provide follow-up to many events, either organised by NCP Brussels or in which our team has participated. Join our LinkedIn group and follow us on Twitter to receive a notification every time a past event is enriched with useful information, final reports, available slides, final participants list, etc!

Please note that our offices are moving to Chaussée de Charleroi 110 Charleroisesteenweg 1060 Brussels as of 02.01.2015. This UNO.brussels “House of Entrepreneurship, Innovation, Research and Commerce” will house impulse.brussels, Atrium, Innoviris and Research in Brussels.

In name of the whole team, I wish you an excellent year 2015 full of successful R&I projects.
