SMEs go Health present at Brussels workshop on 26 February 2009

Date: 26/02/2009

Under the headline “Maximising outcomes of EU-funded research projects – tools for success”, the European Commission has invited small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) and other interested parties in health research to Brussels on 26 February to get informed about SME participation in Health research.

The event, which was organised by the Health Research Directorate, was very well attended and provided a lot of useful information about EU support mechanisms available for SMEs. Besides attending the interesting presentations, participants had the opportunity to visit a small fair with relevant associations and support structures in a relaxed atmosphere during the lunch and coffee breaks.

The SMEs go Health-project was present at the fair with a booth, where its coordinator, Ms Ines Haberl from the Austrian FFG, and some other consortium members informed visitors about the project’s activities and services to support SMEs in Health Research.

The large interest in the project at the fair was impressive and the team enjoyed the informative discussions and fruitful exchange of ideas with the visitors. The SMEs go Health consortium takes this opportunity to thank the organising Health Research Directorate, in particular its scientific officer Ms Ludovica Serafini, for being invited to this encouraging event.
