Background:

• In December 2023, Canada joined the ranks of associate countries for Horizon Europe, the world's largest program to support international innovation and research projects, with a budget of nearly EUR 100 billion over seven years. This partnership opens doors for Canadian researchers, SMEs, and innovators to collaborate on groundbreaking projects tackling global challenges.
• Horizon Europe is a framework program and the projects supported are typically of an applied nature leading to innovative solutions for societal, technological, and economic challenges. Beyond the financial benefits, the program also offers unique opportunities for international partnership building and enhanced engagement in global innovation and research networks

The session will:

• provide participants with an overview of the program, its structure and processes, and key characteristics that distinguish it from other research funding programs.
• give some recommendations for the University of Lethbridge to build an infrastructure that can assist its researchers with successfully participating in the program.
