3. CALL FOR HORIZON 2020 IDEAS – PITCH YOUR RESEARCH IDEA AT NTTS 2013!
The NTTS 2013 Scientific Committee has set up a special evening session on Horizon 2020. The session will follow a “speed-dating” format, with a large number of researchers presenting their early-stage Official Statistics research project ideas in rapid succession. The presenters would then meet up with interested colleagues to exchange ideas and contact details, with the objective to start formulating project ideas and prepare the grounds for project consortia ready to submit Official Statistics research project proposals for Horizon 2020.
The deadline for submitting ideas is Monday 11 February 2013; a brief submission form and more details on the special session are available on: http://www.cros-portal.eu/content/invita
