An information day on the first Horizon 2020 calls in the area of secure societies will take place on 1 April 2014 in Brussels. The registration for the event is open until 25 March, but will close when the number of participants reaches 300.

The information day targets potential applicants to the first three calls for project proposals under the societal challenge 'Secure societies - Protecting freedom and security of Europe and its citizens':

• H2020-DRS-2014: Disaster-resilience: safeguarding and securing society, including adapting to climate change

• H2020-BES-20014: Border Security and External Security

The submission of proposals to these calls will open on 25 March 2014 with the deadline of 28 August 2014.

Participants of the information day will receive detailed information about the calls and their legal and procedural rules, as well as practical information on the new proposal submission system and an overview of the new features of Horizon 2020. Potential applicants will have the opportunity to present their project ideas and exchange views at the brokerage and networking sessions.
