Preliminary program (EEST time):
16 September, 2021
10:00 – 10:50 Opening
10:00-10:20 Horizon Europe. Opportunities for Photonics
Brigita Serafinavičiūtė, Head of the Lithuanian RDI Liaison Office LINO (LT)
Horizon Europe is the EU’s key funding programme for research and innovation with a budget of €95.5 billion. Through competitive calls it tackles climate change, helps to achieve the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and boosts the EU’s competitiveness and growth. Photonics can be instrumental in many of these challenges, but this requires collaboration and active engagement with various sectors.
