Please speak with your relevant Research Challenge Manager to discuss a potential application for seed funding.
Proposals for the seed fund challenge are invited in the form of an informal 5 minute presentation covering the research idea, links to a specific call, fit with one or more of the Research Challenge areas, and the envisaged consortia.
They may include any relevant costs linked to the development of H2020 proposals and the facilitation of consortia building, e.g. travel, networking etc.
