*REMINDER: DRAGON-STAR, 1st call for Applications, deadline: 31st July 
2013* <#>

APRE, partner of the Dragon Star project, is pleased to remind you about 
the forthcoming deadline for the Travel Grant Scheme: Individual Vouchers.

The *Travel Grant Scheme provides the opportunity for European 
organizations to investigate the Chinese market and identify suitable 
partners to conclude technological and/or research collaboration*. It 
also *provides financial support to eligible European organizations to 
travel to China*.

The Travel Grant Scheme is composed of two elements:
  (1) Individual Vouchers, and
  (2) Participation in Brokerage Events (BEs) and/or Missions.

The Individual Vouchers Scheme is designed to cover part of the 
traveling expenses of European organizations to visit Chinese 
counterparts of their choice and discuss the possibility of concluding 
technological and/or research collaboration and agreements. The BEs and 
Missions scheme is designed to reimburse traveling expenses of European 
organizations to visit an international fair in China and/or participate 
in a BE (in parallel to an international fair or conference), meet with 
Chinese counterparts and discuss potential collaborations.

The objective
The aim of the Individual Vouchers Scheme is to support technological 
and research collaboration between Chinese and European organizations in 
order to explore the opportunities, not only for joint participation in 
the European Commissionâ??s HORIZON 2020 programme, but also the 
possibilities of concluding technological agreements. The Individual 
Vouchers Scheme is designed to cover the traveling expenses of European 
organizations to visit Chinese counterparts of their choice and discuss 
the possibility of concluding technological and/or research 
collaboration and agreements.

The call
The *call is open from the 31st May until 31st July 2013*. It supports 
representatives from European organizations from the EU Member States 
and China to meet their counterparts For the preparation of the call 
documentation, material from the ENLACE project was used from the other 
region for joint preparation of a project proposal in one of the 
upcoming HORIZON 2020 calls or for the conclusion of technological 
co-operations. The topic of the planned joint project proposal has to 
lie within the following areas defined by the HORIZON 2020 calls.

The funding
The individual Innovation Vouchers will cover *50% of the traveling* 
expenses and/or subsistence with a maximum of â?¬1000 for European 
organizations seeking co-operation with one or more specific and 
pre-defined Chinese organization
It is expected that approximately 25 organizations will benefit from 
this scheme, which means that a total of â?¬25.000 will be allocated
