CELTIC-NEXT Proposers Brokerage Day

CELTIC-NEXT is pleased to announce this in-person Proposers Brokerage Day, taking place on Wednesday 18 September 2024, from 9 am to 5 pm (UK Time/GMT+1) at Digital Catapult in London King’s Cross, for the Autumn Call 2024.

CELTIC-NEXT Proposers Days are discussion fora for organisations doing research in the telecommunication and ICT domain and that are interested to participate in a European collaborative research project through the EUREKA Cluster CELTIC-NEXT.

We are looking forward to jump-start your new project idea and to discuss with you opportunities to get involved in new R&D project ideas (from networks to applications).

Find out more information and register for the event HERE.

Any type of business (SMEs or large enterprises), universities or research organisations interested in pushing forward innovative efforts in collaborative R&D projects covering the area of next generation communications for a secured, trusted, and sustainable digital society are welcome to participate.

The participants can take an active part in the pitching session by sending their project ideas by email at [email protected] using this template (deadline: 6 September 2024). Please be aware that the presentations are limited to 6 minutes. The participants are naturally also invited to listen in and join a new project idea that is discussed on the day at Digital Catapult.

CELTIC projects are bottom-up and are open to all research topics as laid down in “CELTICs Mission Vision and Roadmap”. These are the occasion to enable projects in the field of next-generation communications for the digital society that contribute to a sustainable world. By applying and participating in the CELTIC-NEXT Call, your organisation can access national public funding for your R&D project.

Attendees will learn about the funding programme’s success and can meet the CELTIC Community.

This is a perfect opportunity to learn about the ambitious goals of CELTIC, listen to inspiring keynotes in the field of next generation communications and learn about the success of CELTIC projects.

Participants get the chance to meet their funding bodies in person and receive the latest information about funding in their country.

The pitching session is an active session where participants can present their new project idea and discuss it with the audience to win new project partners.
