EPSI brokerage event sept 2016

EPSI organised the EPSI brokerage event 2016-1  in Brussels on September 28th, 2016.

In June 2016 the EPSI members were informed about upcoming calls for proposals and other opportunities in the EU. Based on this they were invited to react with expressions of interest, which may either be based on calls or on ideas for projects.

On September 28th EPSI organized a brokerage event for match making around the ideas for projects.

The EPSI brokerage event (in the same spirit of earlier EPSI events) enables members to find new project partners for upcoming ideas as well as projects-ideas to blossom. The event incorporates workshops that will be based around expressions of interests for project ideas that are put forward by the EPSI members.
