• Discovery Grants (individual) program description and instructions for completing an NOI
• How to complete NSERC’s version of the Canadian Common CV

Participation in Live Q&A Sessions

Participants may submit questions in advance (during the week prior to each session) and during the session itself using the Slido link provided for each event.

Please note the following:

• Advance registration is required to attend the sessions (via MS Teams)
• Sessions will open 15 minutes prior to the scheduled start time
• Due to anticipated high attendance, NSERC staff may not be able to address all questions during the sessions. Any additional inquiries may be directed to the NSERC Discovery support team by email at resgrant@nserc-crsng.gc.ca.

Researchers in North America can join European and other international partners to form consortia to carry out collaborative research under Horizon Europe’s Pillar 2,  "Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness" .  Pillar 2 features €53.5 billion in funding.

Join an info session on Horizon Europe for researchers and institutions interested in European Union funding and collaboration opportunities, with a focus on how Canadian and U.S. institutions can apply to open calls.  The info session will highlight the final two years of the current R&I framework program.  

The presentation is tailored to those who have already attended a past talk or otherwise read the basics of Horizon Europe's Pillar 2 and assumes attendees have already learned the basic terminology or structure explained in the recordings.
