Launch of Horizon Europe in Japan

On 7 July at 8:30-11:30 Brussels time, the European Commission DG Research and Innovation and the Delegation of the EU to Japan will organise an online event to mark the launch of Horizon Europe in Japan.

With its focus on global challenges, cross-cutting missions, partnerships, and open science policy, Horizon Europe is an excellent vehicle to bring the EU-Japan Partnership in Research and Innovation to a new level. This online event, the first of its type in Japan on the programme, will provide a general introduction to Horizon Europe and explain its importance and significance to researchers in Japan. It will begin with a series of welcome addresses and introductory remarks from key stakeholders in the EU and Japan.

Horizon Europe and the first set of calls published under the first Work Programme for 2021-2022 will then be explained, with the focus on EU-Japan collaboration, frontier research, and mobility opportunities.
