NCP4Industry offers various networking activities for unexperienced (ca. less than 3 years) and experienced NCPs in the industrial topics in Horizon Europe Cluster 4. The participation is open for industrial NCPs from all Member States, Associated States and Third Countries.
The networking activities are divided in the following four categories:
- Continuous twinning as mentor / mentee (online): Interested experienced NCP (mentor) will be paired with an unexperienced NCP (mentee). The mentor and mentee agree to bilateral, regular (e.g. once per month or once every three month) exchanges via a video conference tool to exchange best-practices.
- Twinning at events (on-site): Best practice exchanges of experienced and unexperienced NCPs at on-site events. The meetings are already pre-arranged prior to the events.
- Twinning of experienced NCPs (online / on-site): Regular (e.g. once a month or once every three month) best practice exchanges of experienced NCPs either online or pre-arranged meetings at events.
- Staff exchange as host / guest (on-site): A guest NCP travels to a host NCP, up to 3 work days. The NCPs share best practices during the visits on a deeper level. Travel expenses might be covered by the NCP4Industry project after applying for and confirmation of the reimbursement with the NCP4Industry project.
If you are interested in becoming an active user of the twinning and staff exchange scheme even though you might not be part of the NCP project, please send the filled expression of interest form to Christof Haas (c.haas@fz-juelich.de) and Michael Wessel (m.wessel@fz-juelich.de). If you are a consortium member of NCP4Industry, please keep in mind that you are a possible host for twinning and exchange programme.
