In order to support the preparation of proposals, the European Commission's Directorates-General for Energy (DG ENER) and for Research (DG RTD) are organising an Information Day on 8 July 2010 in the Charlemagne Building, Rue de la Loi n° 170, in Brussels. The aim of this event is to inform multipliers and potential applicants about the content and main legal as well as procedural conditions of the above-mentioned calls. There will also be sufficient time to answer any questions and to get in contact with other potential proposers and project partners.

The event will be broadcast live on the internet, and a link will be posted shortly before the event.
