CELTIC-NEXT is pleased to announce that we will organise an in-person Proposers’ Brokerage Day on Wednesday 18th September 2024 from 9 am to 4 pm UK Time/GMT+1 for the Autumn Call 2024!
You will learn about the programme’s success and meet the CELTIC Community. This is a perfect opportunity to learn about the ambitious goals of CELTIC, listen to inspiring keynotes, learn about the success of CELTIC projects in the business impact session, get the latest information about funding in your country and learn about new project ideas in the pitching session.
As usual, this bottom-up call is the occasion to enable projects in the field of next-generation communications for the digital society that contribute to a sustainable world. By applying and participating in the CELTIC-NEXT Call, your organisation can access national public funding for your R&D project.
