The Research Executive Agency’s (REA) information day targets anyone seeking further information or guidance regarding Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) calls for proposals.

The FET Innovation Launchpad offers funding to vindicate innovation potential in ideas from FET-funded projects and to support their development into a genuine innovation. The call for proposals began on 1 March 2016 and will have two deadlines: 29 September 2016 and 27 September 2017.

The Brussels event will focus on a number of themes including, amongst others, presentation of the Horizon 2020 FET Innovation Launchpad scheme, information on how to prepare and submit a FET Innovation Launchpad proposal, support offered by the National Contact Points to FET Innovation Launchpad applicants, and validation of applicants in the Participant Portal.

It is stipulated that FET Innovation Launchpad proposals must be developed as part of an ongoing or recently finished FET project funded under the European commission’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) or Horizon 2020.

The information day will be held in Brussels, Belgium, on Wednesday 20 April. All sessions will be webstreamed and recorded as of 09:00 CET on 20 April 2016, and presentations published after the event. Participants will be able to submit questions online. Registration for the event is free and can be completed on the commission’s webpage here.
