The European Commission’s Research and Innovation Directorate-General organised a Reality Check on implementation aspects of Horizon Europe, the EU’s research and innovation Framework Programme, as part of the Commission’s approach to better implementation and simplification.
It focused on practical experience with Horizon Europe, aiming to collect feedback on implementation from external stakeholders and identify opportunities for simplification.
Dr. Anna Sandak was among 5 panellists. She emphasized the InnoRenew project, its development and recent merge with University of Primorska, showcasing how European programs can build lasting research capacities in European widening countries. However, she also pointed out current challenges the project calls are facing and suggested possible improvements.
Besides her other researchers and innovators with extensive experience across the three main pillars of Horizon Europe shared their experiences with several Horizon Europe projects.
The event brought together more than 800 participants offering a valuable platform for discussion and exchange of ideas.
