For more details, see the full agenda.

Participants will have the opportunity to briefly present their project ideas and expertise.

Organisers highly encourage you to present your project idea linked to a specific Horizon Europe call from WP 2025 and introduce your institution.

As of 2024, Canada joins Horizon Europe as an associated country and is fully committed to participating in R&D consortia forming under this year’s calls.

Participants expressing interest in presenting will receive guidelines by email after May 15th, explaining how to prepare a short presentation (one-pager) and effectively pitch their idea during the event.

Participation is free of charge, but registration is mandatory. Register here.

Organisers look forward to your active participation and fruitful collaboration between Canada and the Baltic countries.
