CSIC hosts outreach event on EIC opportunities featuring BoneOscopy as a success case
On Wednesday, 15 April 2026, BoneOscopy partner CSIC (Spanish National Research Council) will organise a dedicated outreach event in Valencia to promote participation in European Innovation Council (EIC) funding opportunities, with a particular focus on the EIC Pathfinder and Accelerator programmes.
The event, titled Jornada pro-EIC, will take place at the I2SysBio Seminar Room (Paterna, Valencia) and will bring together researchers, innovators and funding experts to exchange knowledge on EIC calls, support services and success stories.
As part of the programme, Michael Seimetz (i3M-CSIC) will contribute to the panel “Inspirarse en el éxito”, where he will present BoneOscopy as a successful example of an EIC Pathfinder project. His presentation will:
- Showcase the collaborative pathway leading to the BoneOscopy proposal, including the partnership between i3M, DKFZ and LIP
- Provide insights into the pre-application phase and consortium building
- Highlight key achievements and essential facts about the BoneOscopy project
- Offer practical reflections for researchers preparing competitive EIC proposals
This contribution positions BoneOscopy as a reference case for interdisciplinary collaboration and successful participation in highly competitive EU funding schemes.
The CSIC-led event aims to:
- Raise awareness of EIC funding instruments and upcoming calls
- Present institutional support services for applicants
- Enable direct interaction with EIC grant holders and experts
- Encourage researchers to engage in high-risk, high-impact innovation projects
Programme overview
The event will run from 10:15 to 13:45, followed by individual consultations in the afternoon, and will include:
- Institutional welcome and programme overview
- Detailed information on EIC calls and application processes
- Presentation of support services by CSIC’s Pro-EIC team
