NUCL-EU 2020 (http://www.nucleu2020.eu/) is the European project funded by the European Commission under the Horizon 2020 programme that is aimed at aligning and enhancing the services that National Contact Points (NCPs) for EURATOM Programme provide to applicants of European funding across Europe and worldwide.
EURATOM NCPs are individuals nominated by their governments with the mandate to spread awareness, provide specialist advice and on-the ground guidance on nuclear energy research funding opportunities within Horizon 2020 and ensuring that the programme is readily accessible to all potential applicants. EURATOM NCPs can guide anyone interested in applying for European funding to identify the right call, guide and support you through the different stages of an application.
