AIM
The aim of the international partnering meeting is to facilitate transnational collaboration between Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) and R&D Institutions active in the field of forest-based and related industries and in particular the setup of FP7 project consortia. It’s a unique opportunity for project coordinators to present their project ideas and for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) to present their skills, so consortia can be completed.
The event is focused on the topics of the first FP7 calls of the thematic priorities “Nanotechnologies, Materials, Processes”, “Food, Agriculture and Biotechnology”, “Energy” and “Environment”, relevant for the forest-based and related industries. These calls represent the first opportunities for Small and Medium Sized Enterpises (SMEs), Industry and Research institutions to be funded
for collaboration with European partners in FP7 projects.
