wideradvance open call

Background

Building on our expertise from HSbooster and our pluriennial support of the Horizon Results Booster, Trust-IT embarks on this new suite of services alongside National Contact Points, industry and research leaders across Europe: an online facility supporting widening countries turning results into real world impact.

The widerAdvance Facility is dedicated to unlocking the full potential of research and innovation emerging from Widening Countries and Outermost Regions. Our mission is to strengthen the visibility, accessibility, and long-term impact of EU-funded projects by providing tailored support in communication, dissemination, and exploitation (D&E).

 

The first open call 

On May 28th we opened our first call for applicants, offering free tailored support to Horizon Europe projects from Widening Countries and Outermost Regions. 

Eligible applicants can benefit from: 

  • Individual expert support for dissemination and exploitation
  • Coaching for pitching and EU matchmaking
  • Capacity building for researchers and managers
  • Support for follow-up funding opportunities
  • Increased visibility across Europe

 

Trust-IT’s role 

Trust-IT will support the delivery of two types of services:

  • The Dissemination and Exploitation Academy: aimed at maximising the dissemination and marketability of key exploitable results of Horizon Europe and Horizon 2020 projects in widening countries and outermost regions.
  • The support with standardisation: a specialised service designed to facilitate this and to streamline the dialogue of beneficiaries with the standardisation landscape and its main actors, namely corresponding Standards Developing Organisations (SDOs). This service offers free one-to-one coaching and training webinars for organisations seeking guidance on standardisation-related aspects of their research projects.
