Training workshop for NCPs on Associated Regions

Most of the Innovation Actions funded by the Mission are expected to work with and engage at least 5 ‘associated regions’ to showcase the feasibility, replicability and scalability of the solutions developed within the projects in other areas.

The information session is targeting National Contact Points in the first place but could also be useful and interesting for Mission projects which have not yet opened their calls for associated regions.

The session will contain presentations from DG MARE and RTD, the Executive Agency CINEA, as well as two projects which have already completed the process of engaging associated regions and will share their experiences.

The session will take place on the 28th of November 2024, fully online, from 9:30 to 12:00.
