Info Day on the EGVI PPP – 21 October 2014

The Information Day on the European Green Vehicles Initiative took place on Tuesday 21 October 2014 in Brussels.

The four research public-private partnerships launched in the framework of Horizon 2020 – Green Vehicles, Factories of the Future, Energy-efficient Buildings and Sustainable Process Industry – were addressed during that day. The aim of this event was to give the research community an overview of ongoing activities in Horizon 2020, and to support the preparation of proposals for the 2015 calls.

The programme can be consulted on the European Commission website.
