Health and Welfare: Funding Priorities of the European Commission in Horizon 2020

The aim of this event is to discuss the funding opportunities for research projects offered by the European Commission on Health and Welfare issues for the coming years.

This conference is open to all those interested in health issues, and it is particularly aimed at all key stakeholders involved – researchers, companies and SMEs, workers in the health sector, healthcare system administrators, civil servant, politicians and authorities. Specifically, one of the aims of this conference is to strengthen the relationship between researchers, companies and users, as intersectoriality is one of the key elements that prevail in the assessments of the European Commission.

• Active and healthy ageing.
