The following days January 18 and 19, the Ministry of Science and Innovation in collaboration with the FECYT will organize two information days on consecutive days to explain the transversal program of the new Framework Program for Research and Innovation, “Horizon Europe”: “Broaden participation and strengthen the European Research Area (ERA)”, focusing on the calls for next year 2022.

This part of the program supports geographical diversity, building the necessary capacities to enable successful participation in the Research and Innovation (R&I) process, promoting networks of contacts and access to excellence, consequently, optimizing the impact of pillar 2 “Global challenges” and seeking synergies with pillar 3 “Innovative Europe”. Furthermore, this part of the program aims to advance the dissemination and exploitation of research results by reinforcing the interaction between education and research, and strengthening collaboration across Europe by opening up to European R&I networks.

To do this, this program is divided into two large sections:

• Expand participation and spread Excellence.
• Reform and improve the European Research and Innovation system.

In order to be able to put this transversal program in context and explain the priorities it addresses and its objectives, they have divided the information days into two days. The format will be online and they have different registrations so that interested people can register both or whoever is most interested.

It is recommended that all participants in the previous Horizon 2020 Framework Program on “Science with and for Society” known by its acronym “SWAFS” attend the day's event. January 19.
