AI-DATA-ROBOTICS - Info Day and Brokerage Event

The European Commission, alongside ADRA and Ideal-ist, the network of National Contact Points for ICT research, hosted an Info Day and Brokerage Event featuring pre-arranged Face2Face meetings.

This event complemented the general infoday for all topics of Cluster 4, held online on 13 and 14 May, and focused on AI, Data, and Robotics topics within the cluster. Participants had the chance to network, identify collaborations, and business cases, which may have facilitated the setup of Horizon Europe projects.

Structure of the event

This infoday was hybrid, with pitching and livestreamed sessions. Speakers from the Commission provided detailed insights into the call topics.

The infoday began with a a presentation by the Commission on AI, Data, and Robotics topics under Horizon 2025, followed by a Q&A session. Afterwards, potential proposers were invited to pitch either their project ideas or the competence they could offer to a consortium in the making. This was followed by a poster session where visitors can meet potential proposers presenting their project ideas or competence.
