The event, celebrating the official launch of the next Framework - Programme in Cyprus, brings together speakers from the European Commission (EC) and the national R&I ecosystem and includes interventions by political and governmental officials with the aim of mobilizing the local research and entrepreneurial community for the Horizon Europe and its articulation with national R&I initiatives.
