Support to EU-Republic of Azerbaijan research and innovation cooperation: Upcoming proposal writing camp and expert consultations

From 9 to 13 February 2026, the European Commission invites researchers, innovators and National Contact Points from Azerbaijan to a three-day Proposal Writing Camp and two days of expert consultations in Baku.

The training will focus on collaborative research project proposals to be submitted under the Horizon Europe Work Programme 2026-2027 under Pillar II, but will also cover other funding instruments such as the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) under Pillar I.

In addition to the 3-day Camp, individual Expert Consultations are offered to support individual researchers and innovators in decoding calls, matching between the call and the researcher's and innovator's expertise and to support them in consortium building as well as securing roles in the consortium.

Experienced and young researchers (including PhD candidates) as well as innovation stakeholders and National contact points are encouraged to participate in the training. Selection will take place after the registration deadline, 28 January 2026.

Interested researchers and innovators are invited to fill-in a registration form and register.
