The overall aim of GREENET is to improve the professionalisation and skills of the Cluster 5 (CL5) National Contact Points (NCPs) across Europe, simplifying applicants’ access to Horizon Europe (HE) calls and raising the average quality of submitted proposals. Starting from the assumption that the NCP role is crucial in order to raise the participation in HE in terms of both quality and quantity, the GREENET overall concept is that the CL5 NCP community requires knowledge, skills, competences and a proven comprehensive suite of tools to convey a message in a multicultural and multi-disciplinary environment such as CL5 and to effectively support its broad based constituency. Therefore, the project is based on three pillars: (i) NCPs capacity building and competence development, (ii) development of targeted and high quality services (events and tools) for CL5 applicants and stakeholders , (iii) CL5 community building and general
mainstreaming of CL5 NCPs in Horizon Europe.
