How Can the National Contact Points Support You? Dr. Tatyana Lyadnova,

Member of the IDEAL-ICT network, ICT NCP, Belarus

Baku, 13 November 2014

• The network of National Contact Points (NCPs) is the main structure to provide guidance, practical information and assistance on all aspects of participation in Horizon 2020.

• National Contact Points are the national structures established and financed by governments of the 28 EU member states and the states associated to the framework programme.

• NCPs are established in ICPC (third) countries as well – and in the EECA region

• A system of National Contact Points has been established for Horizon 2020, building on the experience of previous Framework Programmes.

Mission • Highly professional support services operating nationally will form an

essential component of Horizon 2020 implementation. By spreading awareness, giving specialist advice, and providing on-the-ground guidance, they will ensure that the new programme becomes known and readily accessible to all potential applicants, irrespective of sector or discipline.
