With FP7’s second call for proposals about to be launched, the GSA is hosting Growing Galileo 2009, a conference and information day that will help participants make winning proposals.
Growing Galileo 2009 will be held 27-28 January in Brussels. It will focus on the funding opportunities for satellite navigation project proposals available under the European Commission’s 7th Research Framework Programme (FP7). A total of €40 million is available through FP7’s second call for Galileo and EGNOS research and development projects.
With a focus on the upcoming second round of FP7 calls, Growing Galileo 2009 is an opportunity for participants to network and form partnerships with other organisations.
Those attending will learn about the projects accepted for funding under FP7’s first call for proposals, launched in November 2007. Presentations from GNSS industry experts and market leaders will stimulate brainstorming and the exchange of ideas among participants.
The first day, 27 January, will cover the status of the Galileo and EGNOS programmes. Keynote speeches from industry experts, presentations from successful GNSS projects from FP6 will be capped off by a session on international cooperation.
A networking cocktail afterwards will provide the perfect opportunity to link up with potential project partners for the next round of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) proposals.
An FP7 Information Day on 28 January is the business of the second day. Participants will attend discussions on business financing in tough economic times, a presentation of the FP7 second call for proposals, and talks on the results and experiences from the first call. Opportunities for networking with other companies will be provided throughout 2-day event.
Registration for the Growing Galileo is now open.
