PACE-NET Plus second InfoDay on Horizon 2020

After the success of its first InfoDay in Sydney in December 2013, PACE-NET Plus has organised a second InfoDay on Horizon 2020 – the new framework programme of the European Commission for science, technology and innovation (with a budget of €70 billion, the largest funding programme in the world) – at the Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD) on the Tuesday 4^th of March 2014. Presentations at this event will cover the major opportunities in Horizon 2020, including mobility programmes, as well as the first calls and the rules of participation.

This InfoDay, which is open to all stakeholders engaged in regional and bi-regional cooperation (EU-Pacific) in science, technology and innovation, will also be an opportunity to present the roadmap of the PACE-Net Plus project, to discuss the role of research for regional cooperation within New Caledonia and to consider the ways to enhance it through Horizon 2020.

Organised by IRD in partnership with the University of New-Caledonia (UNC), this event will benefit from the participation of the Office of Regional Cooperation and External Affairs to the Government of New-Caledonia and of the Chargé de mission for Research and Technology of the High-Commissioner.
