UK's First Growing Galileo Event

The GNSS Research and Applications Centre of Excellence (GRACE) based at the University of Nottingham hosted the UK ‘Growing Galileo' event on 30th January 2009. The event focused on access to new funding from the European GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) Supervisory Authority (GSA) for collaborative R&D projects under the European Framework 7 Programme (FP7).  

 

Held at the University's Jubilee Campus just 48 hours after the official European Growing Galileo event in Brussels, the day gave delegates valuable insights into how to apply for European funding for GNSS research and development - and with EUR40 million available, a 60% increase on previous funding levels, the delegates learned a great deal to their advantage. One of his key messages was that SMEs should be encouraged to apply, as in the first tranche, over 40% of development funds were awarded to SMEs.

 

Anyone interested in funding opportunities in areas related to GNSS, or GRACE is welcome to speak to Paul Bhatia, the General Manager of GRACE on +44 1158232332. SMEs may be eligible for a free two-hour consultation.
