EMA Horizon 2020 SME Innovation initiative

Published 13 July 2016

We would like to draw your attention to the ‘Horizon 2020 SME Innovation Associate’ (INNOSUP-02-2016), a new pilot action under the EU Research and Innovation Framework Programme. This programme has been created to facilitate the matchmaking between talented post-doctoral research associates and European SMEs to support turning an innovative idea into a research or innovation project, for one year (90 positions will be made available). In particular, the programme will assist researchers in:

  • Finding the SMEs who need grey material to turn their ideas into innovations;
  • Providing the selected researchers with a full tailored-made training and coaching package in order to guarantee a smooth integration in the company.

You will find all information, requirements and deadlines about the programme at the links below:
