The 2025 SMART Proposers’ Day, set to take place within Call 9 in Dublin (Ireland) at Enterprise Ireland on the 14thof October.
SMART Proposers’ Day is a dedicated networking forum designed for organisations interested in participating in SMART collaborative projects. Whether you’re from industry (large companies & SMEs), academia, research centres or national funding agencies, this is your chance to connect with potential partners and kick-start your SMART Project Outline.
This year’s edition will take place over two days: on October 14, participants will join morning pitching sessions to present project ideas, meet potential partners, plus hear interventions from funding agencies, evaluators, success stories and more. In the afternoon, B2B meetings will follow to build strong consortia. On October 15, the agenda includes an exclusive technical visit to a leading company in the Dublin area — a unique opportunity to gain insight and explore new collaboration paths. Don’t miss the chance to be part of the SMART community and help shape the future of advanced manufacturing through international cooperation.
