FP7 Health - Open Information Day & Brokerage event

8 June 2010 - Brussels

The European Commission (DG Research - Directorate Health) is organizing an Open Information Day on FP7 Health research. The event aims to highlight the novelties in the 2011 Work Programme due to be published in July. It will provide guidance on proposal preparation and facilitate matchmaking. It is organised by the Commission services but will draw on the resources of various FP 7 funded service providers (HEALTH-NCP-NET, SMEsgoHealth, SM-BIO-Power, KAPPA Health, EEN…).

Brokerage activities will be organized by HEALTH-NCP-Net with the kind support of SMEsgoHealth.
