Horizon Europe is the world’s largest research and innovation collaboration program, with a budget of €95.5 billion ($140 billion CDN) between 2021-2027. More than €53 billion ($77 billion CDN) has been allocated to Pillar II.
The program fosters opportunities for international collaboration and strengthens the impact of research and innovation in tackling major global challenges, like climate change.
Recently, the Government of Canada completed negotiations with the European Commission to join Horizon Europe as an associate country under Pillar II. Associate membership allows researchers at Canadian institutions to participate in applications to Pillar II calls for proposals and receive funding from Horizon Europe if the applications are successful.
Hosted by McMaster’s Research Office for Administration, Development & Support (ROADS), this information session will feature:
- Dr. Richard Paige of the Dept. of Computing and Software and Dr. Niko Hildebrandt of the Dept. of Engineering Physics, who will discuss their experience applying for and holding Horizon Europe funding.
- Christina Pellegrini, ROADS, Horizon Europe Program Lead, who will provide an overview of the program and the application process at McMaster.
Please note: this virtual information session will be recorded for individuals who are unable to attend on June 25, 2024.
