Join our final event “Accelerating the green transition through R&I” to learn about the results and impacts of 73 projects funded under the Horizon 2020 Green Deal Call (GDC).
This one day event will highlight how these projects have been supporting the implementation of the European Green Deal and related EU policy priorities, while fostering dialogue between projects, policymakers, and key stakeholders.
Organised by the Green Deal Projects Support Office (GD-SO) in the context of the Green Deal Call, this event will take place on 28 April 2026, 09:30-17:30 at the Comet Louise in Brussels, Belgium, and online.
It aims to strengthen the visibility and long-term impacts of these EU-funded projects by providing a space for exchange around:
- Project results and collective outputs
- Contributions to EU Green Deal policy priorities
- Networking, collaboration and pathways to extend impact beyond the lifetime of individual projects
