Research Fund for Coal and Steel: Big Tickets call 2025 Info Day

The Info Day is a unique opportunity to learn more about the RFCS funding opportunities and how potential applicants can submit high-quality proposals.

The Info Day is a unique opportunity to be informed about the RFCS funding opportunities and their objectives, the most updated information on the submission and the evaluation process. In particular, the info-day aims at helping potential applicants to submit high quality proposals.

The event will also be an occasion for networking between participants. This would facilitate the creation of synergies in the coal and steel research communities, particularly in the development of the breakthrough technologies needed to contribute to the goals of the European Green Deal and to exchange proposal ideas and find consortium partners. 

There will be a networking coffee and lunch during the event. 

In the afternoon, the participants will have the opportunity to have a one-to-one session with REA.B1 staff (project officers, legal officers, and financial officers) to address specific questions related to proposal preparation. It is compulsory to book these sessions in advance.
