Since cooperation is a key element of research and development within the EU, the use of networking platforms is particularly important. Digital platforms connect individuals, organizations, and institutions across member states and beyond, to collaborate, share knowledge, build partnerships, and access funding or opportunities. The awareness webinar is focused on networking platforms relevant for events and B2B meetings. The webinar will cover 3 different types of platforms - technical platforms for events and B2B matchmaking, platforms used in Horizon Europe projects and specialized platforms supporting EU Policies. The session will:

• Introduce the platforms for events and B2B meetings
• Introduce platforms on the Horizon Europe clusters
• Show how to make a valuable profile for networking
• Present how to boost your own visibility
• Choose the right platform for your networking needs

The most suitable target audience of this webinar are:

• Researchers from eligible Widening Countries interested in expanding their collaborative network
• Research Managers and Administrators (RMAs) involved in identifying complementary funding opportunities, in community building as well as in forging partnerships with local/international stakeholders
