Conference SME Instrument Phase 2 Welcome Day
Welcome Day is an event organised by EASME so that companies receiving SME Instrument Phase 2 financing can share their experiences with the project coordinators. The conferences, celebrated in Convent Garden, have made it possible to understand the needs of the projects currently being developed and the support and information offered by the Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Framework.
During the Welcome Day conferences, the EASME representatives addressed different aspects of the projects and the additional services and support offered to the beneficiaries of the programme. Participants in the conferences could send their questions in real time during the presentation by the coordinators.
The Welcome Day SME Instrument Phase 2 conferences took place as workshops with communication activities carried out together (Pitch Training) and questionnaires with the answers displayed on interactive screens connected to the Internet.
