Webinar as part of the EU Industry Week

Begin 03. March 2021 - 09:55 Uhr
End 03. March 2021 - 12:35 Uhr

Background

CO2 reduction and neutrality are topics that will have a major impact on people's working and living environments in the coming years - not least because of the coal phase-out, which also affects Lusatia. But how can such goals be achieved? What challenges need to be considered? And how can SMEs get involved in research?

These questions will be explored in this two-part webinar. First, there will be an overview of the status quo at European level, followed by information on current EU funding programs and perspectives from Saxony.
