Conclusions:

The total budget available for this call is 5 Million Euro under H2020 and an equivalent budget in Taiwan.  Each project proposal should have a suitable mix of partners from both regions. Two reasonable sized projects could be anticipated from the available budget.  Experts from both Europe and Taiwan will be involved in the review process for this opening.

The 45 participants then entered into a post presentations discussion with many 1 t0 1 discussions about potential collaborations.

The Euro-5G project offered to host a specific brokerage service page for this targeted opening from late Spring next year where proposal leaders and interested parties may find each other.
