H2020 call "Capitalising the full potential of on-line collaboration" - Info session 26 January 2015

At present there are different degree intermediaries which are already offering brokerage services, however only a small percentage of enterprises is using the available platforms or other on-line tools. The current call intends to offer the infrastructure for the revision and/or the initiation of new generation of support services that assist to create value from online collaboration with a group of contacts and potential partners ("assistance to online collaboration for innovation").

The potential proposers will be expected to address one or more of the following aspects:

• develop and test new service designs for 'assistance to online collaboration for innovation' for SMEs in diverse sectors;
• make such new services accessible for enterprises in secto rs that are typically not yet benefitting from innovation support;

Moreover, the nature of the topic - online collaboration - suggests training modules to be established as web­-based self- or collaborative learning modules supported by case studies.

The total budget of the call is 2.350.000 Euro and a two stages approach is applied, the first stage deadline fixed on the 10/3/2015 and the second one on the 12/8/2015.

More information on the call is available at the Horizon 2020 participants portal
