An opportunity to discuss project ideas with potential partners and to learn about the funding possibilities

In the nice atmosphere of the newly refurbished meeting area of Alcatel-Lucent in Antwerp, more than 60 experts discussed their project ideas with potential project partners and found out about funding opportunities in their countries at our last CELTIC-NEXT Proposers Day on 28 October 2015.

CELTIC-NEXT Proposers Days are platforms for organisations related to telecommunications that are interested to participate in a CELTIC-NEXT project and want to benefit from performing collaborative research through the EUREKA Cluster CELTIC-NEXT.

10 exciting project ideas were presented and discussed, and will hopefully turn into successful CELTIC-NEXT projects.

Please have a look at the excellent keynote speech by Dr. Fahim Kawsar, and at the interesting project proposals (downloadable below in the agenda)
