This year’s visit by UKRO, the UK Research Office, will take place on the 12th May in Grimond Lecture Theatre 3. UKRO’s mission is to promote effective UK engagement in EU research, innovation and higher education activities by providing information about funding opportunities and EU research policy development.
There will be two presentations: Horizon 2020 – the first year and How to influence future work programmes, and there will also be an opportunity to discuss any specific questions with the advisor in 1:1 sessions (to be booked in advance).
The full programme will be circulated in due course.
This year’s UKRO visit coincides with the University of Kent’s annual Europe Day celebrations at the Canterbury Campus. A range of activities are planned including a European Opportunities Fair, European food, Treasure Hunt, Photo Competition, Petanque tournament, language learning and more.
