Universities of Applied Sciences (UAS), because of their regional embeddedness and close links to industry, public authorities and citizens, are important actors in realising the EU’s ambitions of a climate-neutral and technologically sovereign global player.
With the goal to foster international collaboration, Horizon Europe, the EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation, allocates a large part of its budget to application-oriented research. This comes with a lot of potential for UAS.
Therefore, we want to dedicate our 3rd Networking Conference to offering a mid-term review of Horizon Europe from the perspective of the applied sciences.
The conference will be structured in two parts. Starting with political discussions on 22 May 2023, we want to debate Horizon Europe with policymakers and industry representatives in high-level keynote speeches and panel debates, followed by a networking reception. The second day, 23 May 2023, will be dedicated to interactive breakout sessions in which applied research experts can engage with one another to discuss Horizon Europe in detail.
Based on the discussions and exchanges during the conference, we will prepare a thorough written contribution to the mid-term review of Horizon Europe, from the perspective of the applied sciences and arts.

What is the cooperation corner?
As an integral part of the network conference, we decided to offer our cooperation corner / poster exhibition again, as in previous years. This allows participants to demonstrate their institutions, EU projects or university alliances to a large audience of international R&I practitioners. The posters will be displayed in the main event hall, very visible to all. Every participant is warmly invited to share their experiences via our cooperation corner.How can I participate?
You will be asked in the registration sheet if you want to contribute to the cooperation corner. If you click "yes", the organisers will sent the template form to you via mail.How does the poster look like?
