Turkey In Horizon 2020

WELCOME TO THE OFFICIAL PAGE OF "TURKEY IN HORIZON 2020" PROJECT!

//New publications on the EIC Accelerator – a first for Turkey!//

The Turkey in Horizon 2020 Phase II project has produced a leaflet giving a basic outline of Accelerator and a 24 page Guide which sets out the objectives, requirements and processes involved in more detail. We believe the Guide is the first publication to draw together detailed information for SMEs interested in applying. The English versions of the Guide and the leaflet may be obtained from our Helpdesk page. Versions in Turkish will be available soon.

We are here to support Turkish public and private organisations, industry and SMEs to maximise their benefits from Horizon 2020, the European Union programme for Research & Development. Turkey has an excellent opportunity to increase the participation of its SMEs, foster innovation and bring together researchers and entrepreneurs from Europe and Turkey. The project offers workshops & training, consultancy services, legal, financial and IPR support for Horizon 2020 proposals through a helpdesk, evaluation services plus collaboration and communication tools for networking with the Information Multipliers!
