Horizon Europe offers Canadian organizations access to one of the world’s largest research and innovation funding programs—but understanding where your organization fits and how to get involved can be challenging.

Is Horizon Europe a good fit for your organization? This free, one-hour webinar explores opportunities and limitations for Canadian participants, introduces complementary funding programs, and shares practical insights on international research collaboration to help you decide on your next steps.

Designed for Canadian companies, researchers, post-secondary institutions, innovation organizations, and other potential participants, the session features expert presentations and an opportunity for questions.

Presented by the European-Canadian Centre for Innovation and Research (ECCIR), in collaboration with PRIMA Québec, with support from Alberta Innovates.
