Since 2010, Natalia G. Mozo has headed the "SME Consulting" department at the Bavarian Research Alliance (BayFOR) GmbH. BayFOR's experts connect Bavarian stakeholders from science and industry at the European level and provide them with free support in obtaining EU funding for research and innovation projects. The consulting focus is on the European Framework Programme for Research and Innovation "Horizon 2020."
Since June 2019, all specific calls and instruments for SME funding have been combined under Horizon 2020 in the pilot phase “European Innovation Council Pilot” (EIC). This also includes the previous SME instrument, which is now called “EIC Accelerator Pilot" calls.
During the workshop, Natalia G. Mozo will not only provide an overview of all the EIC Pilot tools and BayFOR's support services for companies. She will also describe in detail the key requirements of the EIC Accelerator Pilot, which is aimed exclusively at highly innovative SMEs with a European dimension.
