ICT Proposers' Day 2009 :: About the event
Added value to your successful participation in FP7
ICT Proposers' Day was a unique networking forum for stakeholders interested in building long-term, international cooperations within the framework of ICT WP 2009-2010 of the 7th Framework Programme for R&D. However, the one day event offered more than just networking.
The European Commission staff was present:
- to give information regarding the research challenges and objectives of the new ICT WP 2009-2010,
- to help audience to better understand the general rules and procedures
for participating in calls for proposals (download the presentation

Structure of the event
ICT Proposers' Day was organised as an information fair and therefore no formal agenda was set. There were no structured sessions or panels, however, there were:
- 7 scenes dedicated to the 7 challenges of the 2009-2010 work programme, and additional scenes dedicated to horizontal and other activities,
- series of 'networking booths', each corresponding to the objectives of one of the challenges,
- other large areas, snack bars and cafeterias to facilitate a more informal way of establishing partnerships,
- a 'library' provided by the Commission to supply information on relevant topics.
