NCP Flanders provides on the ground advice to potential applicants and beneficiaries, through the full project life cycle
The National Contact Points are support structures established by Member States and Associated Countries (AC) and recognized by the European Commission to help participants to access the different opportunities in the Horizon Europe programme and Digital Europe programme.
NCPs provide on the ground advice to potential applicants and beneficiaries, through the project life cycle, in a manner that would be impossible for the Commission and its Agencies acting alone.
In Belgium NCPs have been established per region. NCP Flanders provides free of charge information and advice to all stakeholders located in Flanders (enterprises, institutes, non-profit-organisations, universities, university colleges,...) and to all Flemish public institutions located anywhere in Belgium. NCP Flanders is a cooperation between the Research Foundation Flanders (FWO), and Flanders Innovation & Entrepreneurship (VLAIO).
