The Projects Seminar 2015 organised in Madrid on March 18-20 brings together the projects funded in the framework of CHIST-ERA, and the funders (the research funding organisations in CHIST-ERA). The main objective is to contribute to the exchanges between the projects, and to facilitate the follow-up of the projects by the funders and the review experts. In this context, the objectives of the seminar are:
- Remind the project partners of the CHIST-ERA Follow-up objectives and process and more generally about the expectations of the funders;
- Gather impression about the funded projects, meet in person and listen to the researchers presenting their projects;
- Strengthen the scientific communities related to the topics of the CHIST-ERA calls and support effort toward interdisciplinary research.
As a further objective, the seminar contributes to the assessment of CHIST-ERA calls.
