A new edition of the ICT Proposers Day will take place in Bratislava on 26-27 September 2016. The ICT Proposers day is a unique networking opportunity to build partnerships and projects targeting the new Information and Communication Technologies Work Programme calls. The Horizon 2020 Pillar on Excellent Science will be covered by 3 networking sessions.

The e-infrastructure topic will be addressed during a session  on the e-infrastructure and the European Open Science Cloud that will give an opportunity to potential participants to get an overview of the call topics and to discuss potential co-design opportunities in the context of EINFRA-21-2017 as well as integration and consolidation opportunities in the context of EINFRA-12-2017. During the session, potential e-infrastructure users will have the chance to explain their ideas and needs while e-infrastructure service providers will present their offering.

A networking session on FET Open for novel ideas for radically new technologies will address the H2020-FETOPEN-2016-2017 call. This call supports the early-stages of the science and technology research and innovation around new ideas towards radically new future technologies. It also funds coordination and support activities for such high-risk forward looking research to prosper in Europe.

In addition, a networking session on HPC PPP is organised to encourage informal discussions between stakeholders participating in the event. The goal is to enable a broad and multi-disciplinary dialogue, help participants find partners for a collaborative relationship, enlarge and enhance stakeholder communities and better connect research to innovation.

Registrations are now open for the event and for presentation during the sessions.

In parallel, we will have information booths dedicated to e-infrastructure and to FET Open & HPC. There, the projects and the EC will have the opportunity to present their main achievements, network with potential new partners and maybe build consortia.

The full programme is now available.

The session and the booth are great opportunities to interact with potential users, present your services, meet new partners and stimulate consortium building.
