The WIDERA Informative Day, held on December 12, 2023, is designed to widen participation and strengthen the European Research Area (ERA) by encouraging national involvement in EU research and innovation programs. The event, hosted virtually via the MS Teams platform, targets potential applicants from Croatia, offering insights into support measures, networking opportunities, and successful project examples. A particular focus is placed on enhancing access to excellence and attracting top talent to bolster national research and innovation systems. The event provides a platform for knowledge exchange and collaboration, ultimately aiming to bridge gaps and foster a more inclusive European research landscape.

During the event, the SeaTecHub project was highlighted as an example of an Excellence Hub, covering its concept, proposal submission process, realization, and valuable tips and tricks.
