Event Details

Date: Tuesday, 12 January 2027

Time: 09:30 – 13:00 CET

Format: Live workshop on Zoom

Price: EUR 350

Why Attend

Cluster 4 industrial partnerships increasingly evaluate proposals against explicit KPI frameworks.

Made in Europe, AI-DA, Chips JU, and related initiatives expect proposals to demonstrate:

Industrial relevance

Standards alignment

SME integration

Demonstrator credibility

Exploitation readiness

Measurable contribution to partnership objectives

Strong proposals do not simply describe good research. They align directly with partnership KPIs and industrial deployment logic.

This live 3.5-hour workshop focuses on building:

Excellence and Impact sections

Industrial demonstrator strategies

Standards roadmaps

SME engagement structures

Exploitation and IP planning

You work directly on your own proposal concept while mapping it against evaluator expectations and CL4 partnership priorities.

You leave with:

A stronger topic fit

A clearer industrial demonstrator plan

Standards engagement positioning

An SME participation strategy

An IP and exploitation structure

A free pre-submission evaluation before submission

This is live proposal work, not a lecture.

Is This For You?

A good fit if you are:

A manufacturing RTO, industrial SME, technology integrator, or consortium coordinator

Preparing a Horizon Europe Cluster 4 proposal

Working toward alignment with:

Made in Europe

AI-DA

Chips JU

Related industrial partnership frameworks

Ready to bring:

A target topic

A draft industrial demonstrator concept
