Széchenyi István University's (SZE) international project collaborations are on the rise. We want to highlight that our University's location has enabled us to participate in successful cross-border and regional Interreg programmes. We plan to maintain this involvement in our research and third mission activities, along with other funding from Brussels such as EUREKA, EUROSTARS, COST, Green Deal, and the LIFE Programme.

One of the main strategic goals of the SZE is to promote the involvement of its researchers in Horizon Europe projects during the 2021-2027 call cycle. Additionally, the university aims to collaborate with the private sector and SMEs in joint international projects.

The SZE H2020 InfoPoint is available to researchers and entrepreneurs who want to participate in the H2020 call for proposals. The InfoPoint provides helpful information to ensure successful proposal submissions and project implementations. An expert from the SZE H2020 InfoPoint regularly communicates with the National Research Development and Innovation Office to keep the information up-to-date and professional.

H2020 InfoPoint services:

• Providing up-to-date and targeted information on calls for proposals, tendering opportunities, and related national and international events;
• up-to-date information on university research, researchers' application activities (research and application database);
• quarterly newsletter;
• proposal preparation, proposal writing (only for joint university proposals);
• providing tools to support partner search (using the university network, online project registration, partner networking and direct partner search);
