Join us for a morning session on the European Horizon Cluster 4 Program (Digital, Industry, and Space)! During this session, a team from the RVO and the UT Grants Support Office will explain the new structure of this EU funding program. We will highlight key aspects, such as the organisation of research topics into broad "Destinations," allowing for interdisciplinary collaboration within each theme.
What to expect
The following destinations will be touched upon, and during the second half of the morning, there will be ample time to discuss possible ways forward per destination and table.
- Achieving global leadership in climate-neutral, circular and digitised industrial and digital value chains
- Developing an agile and secure single market and infrastructure for data-services and trustworthy artificial intelligence services
