Details:
Western University will be hosting an upcoming information session with representatives from the ERA-Can+ (European Research Area and Canada Plus) project. All faculty are invited to learn more about Horizon 2020 – the main research funding instrument of the European Commission that is accessible to Canadians working in science, technology, and innovation as well as in the social sciences and humanities.

ERA-Can+ has been established to help Canadians access Horizon 2020 funding. Building on several years of successful collaboration, ERA-Can+ will encourage bilateral exchange, enrich the EU-Canada policy dialogue, enhance coordination between European and Canadian sector leaders, and stimulate transatlantic collaboration by increasing awareness of the funding opportunities available.

ERA-Can+ is offering information sessions across the country and the Western session will explain the structure of research funding in Europe and provide information on upcoming funding opportunities, as well as the means by which Canadian researchers and industry can participate.

 At this session, there will be a personal research testimonial, question period and thematic session on the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions program (which allows faculty to bring European postdocs to Canada, and provides opportunities for Canadian researchers to spend time in European institutions).
