Recruitment for participants from Poland<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

PolSCA is recruiting representatives of Polish organisations. We are looking for participants who will come to Brussels with a concrete offer for cooperation: a project idea, expertise relevant to a future consortium, a technological solution or a use case. We particularly encourage applications from individuals and organisations considering taking on the role of project coordinator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Registration does not automatically guarantee participation. Applications will be subject to selection in order to bring together organisations with complementary profiles and genuine potential for future project cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event is open exclusively to representatives of organisations based in the countries represented by the co-organisers: Poland, Latvia, Spain, France, Denmark and Belgium<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What can participants expect in Brussels?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each selected participant will have the opportunity to present their organisation, expertise or project idea in a 3-minute pitch<\/strong>. The main part of the matchmaking will consist of pre-arranged bilateral meetings with potential partners. Each participant will be able to take part in up to nine such meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ahead of the event, selected participants will receive access to a matchmaking platform where they will be able to create their profile, explore the offers of other participants and arrange meetings. The programme will also include contributions from representatives of the European Commission and practical guidance from National Contact Point experts on preparing for selected calls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Nine call topics<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The matchmaking will focus on nine selected call topics under Horizon Europe Cluster 4. These will cover, among others, decentralised and sustainable data processing for AI, improving the energy efficiency of AI processing in data centres, the development of European frontier AI solutions, the use of AI and robotics in industry, human-AI collaboration, photonics, Telco Edge Cloud infrastructure and hardware solutions for virtual worlds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
