Welcome to NCP_WIDERA.NET!

Our project is dedicated to enhancing the capacity and effectiveness of WIDERA National Contact Points in low-performing Member States (MS) and Associated Countries (AC). By addressing knowledge gaps and sharing best practices, we aim to empower stakeholders with the tools and insights needed to improve access to funding opportunities under the Framework Programmes.

Our goal is to guide you in exploring funding and collaboration opportunities, enabling growth and innovation across Europe and beyond.

Let’s work together to build a stronger, more connected research community!

 

ERA

The project focuses on Widening Participation, reinforcing the European Research Area, and advancing Pillar II actions. NCP_WIDERA.NET works to identify and share best practices within the NCP community, enhancing support for applicants. Additionally, it strengthens the transnational network of NCPs to address cross-cutting priorities such as gender equality and open science effectively.

 

WIDERA NCPs serve as the transnational network of contact points for Widening Participation and strengthening the European Research Area under Horizon Europe, uniting efforts to foster innovation and excellence across Europe and beyond.
