About the event
Have a breakthrough idea or a scientific discovery with the potential to become a game-changing technology?
The EIC Pathfinder programme supports ambitious, high-risk and high-potential technologies at the earliest stages of development (TRL1-2), providing grants of up to €4 million to advance breakthrough ideas towards proof of concept (TRL3-4).
Open to organizations across all scientific and technological fields, EIC Pathfinder offers an opportunity to transform pioneering research and bold technological concepts into the foundations of tomorrow’s innovations.
Join ISERD for a dedicated webinar to discover the programme, understand whether your technology could be a good fit, and learn how to take your first steps towards an EIC Pathfinder application.
This session will cover both:
- EIC Pathfinder Open – open to all scientific and technological fields
- EIC Pathfinder Challenges – targeted calls in Quantum, AI, and Advanced Materials for energy domains, with the possibility for eligible applicants to apply to both calls.
