Horizon 2020 is the largest EU Research and Innovation program ever with nearly €80 billion of funding available over 7 years (2014 to 2020). Horizon 2020 is coupling research and innovation with an emphasis on excellent science, industrial leadership and societal challenges. The goal is to remove barriers to innovation, and make it easier for the public and private sectors to work together in delivering innovation.

Horizon 2020 is open to participation by Thai and Southeast Asian researchers.  NSTDA along with SEA-EU-NET, INCONTACT 2020 and EURAXESS Links ASEAN are organizing this Infoday and the two workshops to inform researchers from across ASEAN about funding and mobility opportunities under Horizon 2020, and to facilitate their participation in European collaborative projects.

In addition to giving a general overview of Horizon 2020, this Infoday will provide specific information on upcoming Calls for Proposals, in particular those open to Thai and Southeast Asian researchers. On Day 2 workshops will be conducted on how to write a successful European proposal as well as on the technical and financial management of EU funded projects.
