As a follow-up activity of the conference “Earth Observations for the citizens and the planet”, organised by V4 RTD offices in Brussels – i.e. Czech Liaison Office for Education and Research (CZELO), National Research, Development and Innovation Office of Hungary (NRDIO), Polish Science Contact Agency (PolSCA) and Slovak Liaison Office for Research and Development (SLORD) – on 29 June 2021 we are happy to invite you to a networking event in the field of Earth observation / Copernicus services.

The networking event will take place on 13 December between 14.00 and 16.30. It will provide a brief overview of recently launched Horizon Europe calls, yet its main aim is to enable pitching sessions for all those interested to establish new collaborative links across EU. We will welcome pitching participants from all Member states, and not only from the V4 group! Attached to this invitation you can also find the draft agenda of the event.

We would be delighted to welcome you as an active participant by giving you the opportunity for a pitch presentation showcasing your organisation and ideas for future collaboration within Horizon Europe framework. At the same time, it is also possible to participate as an observer by listening to your fellow scientists and be inspired by their presentations.

In case you are interested in participating in our event, please register HERE and indicate in which calls you are particularly interested in.

For those wishing to actively participate and provide a flash presentation, please also find attached ppt template that should be used for your pitching. Please keep the time limit of 3 minutes when preparing your intervention. In order not to lose precious time we want to merge all the received presentations in one file, so please send us your slides not later than 8 December CoB.

Due to a limited number of slots available for pitch presentations and in the case of the oversubscription, organisers reserve the right to confirm the pitching session only to selected registrants.

Closer to the event we will send you both the link and the updated agenda of the event, which will show the order of presenters.

We are very much looking forward to meeting you virtually on 13 December!
