Extended Opportunities for Researchers and Students!
The Horizon Europe project INDUSAC, aims to financially support short-term (4-8 weeks) research collaborations between academia (students and researchers) and industry (companies), in solving company Challenges.
The deadline to submit your motivational letter has been extended until February 11th, 2024. This is YOUR chance to be part of at least 300 international co-creation projects that will shape the future of industry collaboration.
IMPORTANT NOTE: indicated deadline refers to forming teams and submitting a Motivation Letter (one per team), not solving the challenge itself (for this student teams will have additional time)
Once the co-creation project is approved, teams must solve companies’ Challenges within four to eight weeks.
