CITI Cluster members preparing proposals for the 2027 Horizon Europe calls can find international partners at the Green and Inclusive Future International Brokerage Event, taking place in Istanbul on 21 January 2027. One of its four thematic areas is the EU Mission on Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities, directly linked to the cluster’s work.
The event is organised by TÜBİTAK within the Technical Assistance for Türkiye in Horizon Europe Project, in conjunction with the Enterprise Europe Network. It will be held at Point Hotel Barbaros (Şişli, Istanbul). For more than two decades, TÜBİTAK has connected Türkiye’s research and innovation community with European consortia.
Thematic areas
- EU Missions, Climate-Neutral & Smart Cities + Cancer: climate-neutral cities, plus research and innovation for people affected by cancer.
