ELI ERIC invites ELI Beamlines staff to an in-person workshop on EU funding opportunities for 2027, organised in cooperation with experts from Sinergia.
The workshop will focus on relevant opportunities under Horizon Europe and Digital Europe, including Research Infrastructures, digital technologies, AI, data and cybersecurity, photonics, MSCA and other areas relevant to ELI’s scientific and technological priorities. Participants will also receive practical guidance on building competitive proposals, consortium design and positioning ELI as a coordinator or partner.
Given the interactive nature of the workshop, the event is designed for in-person participation. The programme will combine presentations with a hands-on working session, where participants will work in groups on selected calls and develop initial project concepts. The aim is to identify promising funding opportunities and translate them into concrete ideas and potential initiatives for ELI’s 2027 funding pipeline.
A similar workshop is also planned for ELI ALPS staff, with the programme tailored to the facility’s priorities and interests.
