The last edition of CREATE-NET’s Funding Workshop was an overwhelming success with over 70 participants from Belgium, Hungary, Italy, Australia, Germany, Finland, Israel, and Austria, with discussions ranging from "The Network of the Future" to "Services and Software Architectures".
Our objective as organizers of this 2-day event is to make a real progress on proposals preparation in the mentioned above domains and become able to present clusters of proposals of high quality meeting the requirements of the Work Program and providing added value to the expected results.
There will be an opportunity to have up-dated presentations from EC officers and check the extent to which the project ideas meet the Commission requirements.
The workshop is by invitation only. For further information please contact Stela Stancheva: stela.stancheva(at)create-net.org
