📸 Strong turnout and no shortage of questions in Perth!

Yesterday, the Horizon Europe Roadshow Australia 2026 reached Perth for its third stop.

The room brought together participants from many universities and research institutions, alongside SMEs, industry, government and other research and innovation stakeholders.

The breadth of perspectives made for a lively exchange, with many thoughtful and practical questions about Australia’s association and next steps, identifying relevant calls, finding European partners, building or joining consortia, and preparing competitive applications.

Thank you to the University of Western Australia for hosting the event, to the speakers for sharing their knowledge and experience, and to everyone who contributed so actively to the discussion.

Three cities down, five to go. Next stop: Brisbane!

📸 Darwin set the Horizon Europe Roadshow Australia 2026 in motion on Friday.

We welcomed participants in Darwin for the first of eight events across Australia.

The discussion moved from what Australia’s association to Horizon Europe means and what comes next, to the practicalities of finding opportunities, navigating applications and building or joining international consortia. Participants also heard insights and lessons from Australian experience in EU Funded Programmes.

Thank you to @CDUni for hosting the event at its Danala Campus, to the speakers for sharing their knowledge and experience, and to everyone who brought their questions and perspectives to the discussion.

Today, the Roadshow continues in Adelaide before heading to Perth tomorrow.
