The Unite! alliance will host an in-person matchmaking workshop at Politecnico di Torino on 12–13 May 2026. This event serves as a strategic follow-up to the virtual matchmaking session held on 19 March 2026, which involved over 170 researchers interested in Horizon Europe grant application.
Objective and Scope
The primary goal of this physical workshop is to facilitate in-depth discussions among emerging research consortia. Participants will focus on developing joint Horizon Europe proposals and establishing comprehensive roadmaps leading up to their respective application deadlines.
The workshop targets senior researchers from Unite! partner institutions, as well as external academic and non-academic partners. Approximately 50 participants are expected to attend.
