Distinguished speakers will include Robert-Jan Smits, Director General for Research and Innovation, at the European Commission; and Lisa Brodey, Director of the Office for Science and Technology Cooperation, U.S. Department of State.

This event will provide an insight into the newly launched callsfor proposals (solicitations) within the final Work Programme of Horizon 2020, and notably the opportunities for US researchers to cooperate with European partners.

This event is organized with support from the BILAT USA 4.0 Project.
