Research Funding News 5 2020

|
|
We are closing in on 2021!
A little premature perhaps, but since it is December, and since this is the last issue of Research Funding News for the current year: Happy Holidays!
With the year 2020 we at Lund University (and beyond!) have certainly seen our fair share of trials and tribulations. We at Research Services would like to thank all of our fiends, allies, and contacts for an excellent collaboration during these unprecedented times. Thank you for showing patience and understanding as we have adjusted our processes and, like many other departments around the world, struggled with periods of staff shortage in the wake of Covid-19.
Full speed into 2021! Even though Christmas and New Year's are approaching at what feels like an immense speed, please take a moment to scroll through our comprehensive selection of early-2021 opportunities below. And whatever you do, don't miss out on our Introducing Horizon Europe seminar on the 3 February (details below).
Merry Christmas,
Research Services

Webinar: Introducing Horizon Europe
Research Services is pleased to invite you to 'Introducing Horizon Europe', a webinar intended to give you an complete overview of the EU's new framework programme for research and innovation, Horizon Europe. At the webinar, expert staff from Lärosäten Syd's Brussels Office and Research Services will present all aspects of Horizon Europe, and you will also hear success stories from researchers at Lund who have participated in the previous framework programme, Horizon 2020.
Horizon Europe will support research in all fields and at all levels across Europe for the next 7 years. It includes well-known funding schemes such as the European Research Council and Maria Skłodowska-Curie actions, as well as a wealth of opportunities for collaborative research through thematic ‘clusters’, and the brand-new European Innovation Council. Come along to familiarize yourself with Horizon Europe, and find out what’s in it for you!
The webinar will take place on February 3, 2021 from 13:00 - 15:00. It will be conducted over Zoom, and will include ample time for questions. You can register for this webinar here. If you have any questions, please contact John Phillips (john.phillips@fs.lu.se).
