The Horizon Europe Virtual Daily Summit Programme
--------------------------------------
from Monday 31 May 2021 till Friday 4 June 2021
​

The reason that this summit has a duration of 5 days is because we give emphasis and focus on tips and best practices on each Horizon Europe Pillar and its sub-programmes as well as to tools/platforms and networking. Our mission is to establish the Horizon Europe virtual summit as the single point of knowledge for anyone wishing to explore deeper any of the Horizon Europe grant schemes
