Join us on January 14 for the online matchmaking event “Joining forces for nature restoration, biodiversity and oceans: Horizon Europe Cluster 6 opportunities”. This event is designed to help participants build strong partnerships and form competitive consortia for the upcoming Horizon Europe Cluster 6 call topics.

Researchers and stakeholders from Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Sweden, Ukraine, Finland, and Canada will come together to explore collaboration opportunities. You will have the chance to meet potential partners virtually, pitch your ideas, and connect with organizations working on similar themes.

This is a great opportunity to present your expertise, exchange ideas, and kick-start meaningful cooperation for successful Horizon Europe proposals.

What to Expect?
