EURADA - European Association of Development Agencies’ Post

What an intense October! 💪 This month, we carried out numerous activities both in person in Brussels and online, including a meeting of the EURADA Working Group on Consortia for Projects. Our members had the opportunity to engage directly with European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA) and discuss two exciting funding opportunities: 1. Interregional Innovation Investments (I3) Instrument 2. European Innovation Ecosystem (EIE) A special thanks to Erik Hengmith for his comprehensive presentation on the I3 Instrument, and to Radostina Tsenova and Oliver Kozak for presenting the HORIZON-EIE-2022-SCALEUP-02-01: Expanding Investments Ecosystems call. We would also like to acknowledge our members Ioana Dragoș, Marija Dušević, and Thomas Lainé for their five-minute pitches and for sharing their inspiring project ideas. We are delighted to be able to connect regional practitioners, first and foremost with EU policy officers, and secondly among themselves, fostering collaboration and building new consortia to apply for European funding opportunities. 🌍
