Delegates are highly recommended to schedule an exclusive 1-2-1 session with TWI’s public funding experts. This is an opportunity for you to discuss new funding opportunities for collaboration, explore ideas and concept development or to hear more about TIM’s offerings and how you can be involved. However, there are a limited number of sessions available and they will be allocated on a first come, first served basis when you book your place.
This webinar has been specifically designed for TWI’s Industrial and TWIIN Members, TWI’s Innovation Centres (ICs), university partners and TWI staff who are based in the UK and EU, with an interest in learning more about, and participating in, collaborative projects for Innovate UK, Horizon Europe and Research Council funding calls. This webinar is also open to non-members who are interested in learning about TWIIN.
The Technology Innovation Management (TIM) team at TWI, along with the invited keynote speakers from UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), will deliver detailed information on the funding landscape and calls analysis covering the first half of 2023 across the UK and EU with a focus on topics such as Energy, Digital and Industry, Manufacturing, Transport, Circularity and many more.
