We are in Brussels participating in the European Innovation Council Coordinators Welcome Day for SME Instrument Phase 2 projects. It is a meeting for SME Instrument projects’ coordinators. The 2-day agenda is full of presentations and workshops. It is a very helpful initiative that helps to get full understanding of what EIC offers to SMEs’ that have been chosen for financing from H20202/SME Instrument fund.
