On 31 July 2024, we held our second info webinar about our Open Call 2. In it, our technical colleagues presented the topics to apply to, covering challenges, requirements, expected outcomes, and what (technical) support and resources we will provide to the winners during our 9-month support programme.
Now that we have developed the backbone and specific features of our innovative extended reality (XR) teleconference platform, we are looking for partners — companies (tech startups/SMEs) and research institutions (universities, NGOs, foundations, associations) — to collaborate with us on further developing it, providing new modules and features to expand its functionalities.
Applicants will become eligible to receive up to €100,000 and access our 9-month support programme. This includes tailored guidance and support, as well as access to technology and business experts, capacity building, and resources to facilitate the integration and understanding of our platform.
