About this event
From 2027, Australia’s association with Pillar II of Horizon Europe would give Australian organisations a new way into Europe’s 95 billion euro research and innovation programme. This webinar looks at what that means in practice, where the opportunities are likely to sit, and how organisations here can participate.
Jason Collins, CEO of the European Australian Business Council, opens with the strategic context — why Australia is associating, what it signals about the research relationship with Europe, and what changes from 2027.
Dr Jacqueline Clements, CEO of Dutchlink, then gets practical about Pillar II: where the relevant funding calls appear, how the programme is structured, how consortia come together, and what taking part is likely to involve.
The session runs for an hour. It is pitched at SMEs and larger companies, research and education organisations, government, industry bodies, and anyone else with an interest in research and innovation between Australia and Europe.
A chambers-wide effort
The webinar is run by Dutchlink and promoted jointly across Dutch Chambers of Commerce Australia (DCCA), with the European Australian Business Council alongside it. It is open to everyone, not only members, and the aim is a genuinely national audience rather than five separate state ones.
Registration is free and the joining link goes out by email the day before.
