The training is organized by the Science and technology park of Montenegro as part of the “R&I POLICY making, implementation AND Support in the Western Balkans,” abbreviated as POLICY ANSWERS, which is funded by the European union through the Horizon Europe program for research and innovation.

Why Horizon Europe?

Horizon Europe offers significant financial support for research and innovation, which can be of great help to organizations engaged in scientific research and the development of new products or services.

Additionally, through the Horizon Europe program, organizations have the opportunity to connect with partners from other countries and establish international cooperation. This can lead to new ideas, technologies, and innovations, as well as open up new markets.

Moreover, participation in the Horizon Europe program can contribute to the development of organizations’ research capacity through access to new research methods, training and education, as well as networking with other experts in the field.

Finally, projects supported through the Horizon Europe program often focus on addressing societal challenges such as health, the environment, sustainable energy, and other important topics. Therefore, participation in the program can help organizations make a positive social impact through their work.

In addition to basic information about the Horizon Europe 2021-2027 program and opportunities for project funding from this program, prof. Goran Stojanović,phd, will provide information on the program’s research and innovation priorities, train you to prepare and create a successful project proposal that the EU wants to finance, help you find suitable partners, and dedicate time for discussion with participants on specific project ideas in this area.
