EFFRA Brochure
Our members have the opportunity to be engaged in a creation and consultation programme to produce EFFRA’s strategic research multi-annual roadmap. Your organisation can also help us to identify the future priorities that are the basis for research call topics. On a regular basis, EFFRA brings together its diverse community through workshops and other members-only events. You can share your experiences and learn from other members, especially from the industrial companies, about the latest technologies and their plans for the future. Network building can also contribute to the formation of research consortia that take part in Horizon Europe competitions. Involvement in EFFRA helps to raise the profiles of your organisation via our online communication channels where we often promote members’ events and activities.
