ESPON Info Day: second round for calls for proposals
11-08-2008

The second round of calls for proposals of the ESPON 2013 Programme (European Spatial Planning Observation Network) will be presented during an information day to be held in Brussels on 9 September 2008. All potential beneficiaries who would be interested in learning more about opportunities for taking part in ESPON project activities are invited to the event. The content and eligibility criteria of the three calls for proposals (open on 20 August 2008) will be presented during the first part of the programme.
The programme also features an ESPON Partner Café creating a forum for dialogue between potential project partners. The Partner Café will allow participants the opportunity to network and identify potential Transnational Project Groups - i.e. the consortia of partners that carry out ESPON projects. The ESPON Partner Café will provide a platform for transmitting and receiving information in the field of applied research and targeted analysis, enabling an exchange of information on research interests, skills and resources and facilitating the building of future partnerships.
