Sploro Info Day: Putting CORE12.01 in Front of Future Applicants
On 16 January 2026, CORE12.01 stepped into the spotlight at an online Info Day organised by Sploro — a focused opportunity to introduce the project, walk applicants through the Open Call, and answer the questions that matter most when researchers are deciding where to invest their time.
Sploro brings together a community of researchers, innovators, and startups who follow Cascade Funding and EU programme opportunities closely. Reaching that audience in a single, dedicated session was a chance to make the Open Call tangible: what CORE12.01 offers, who it serves, and what applicants can expect from the Responsive Ecosystem Fellowship Programme.
Metaxas Gamvrelis presented on behalf of CORE12.01, taking attendees through the project’s mission, its relevance for climate-tech researchers, and the practical opportunity created by the Open Call. The presentation focused on the things applicants tend to weigh up first: who can apply, what kind of support is available, how the Fellowship is structured, and how participation links to commercialisation, mentoring, and ecosystem connections.
The session drew 99 registered attendees — a meaningful turnout for a focused online format and a clear signal of genuine interest in both the call and CORE12.01’s wider objectives. For the project, this kind of targeted engagement matters more than broad reach: it puts the programme in front of people actively scanning for opportunities, gives them direct access to the team, and builds confidence in what the Fellowship can offer.
That direct exchange is at the heart of how CORE12.01 works through its Open Call period. Awareness campaigns introduce the project; sessions like the Sploro Info Day turn that awareness into informed interest, and ultimately into stronger applications. By meeting researchers where they already are — in trusted, opportunity-focused communities — CORE12.01 makes its support more visible and more accessible across Europe.
As a Horizon Europe project, CORE12.01 helps climate-tech researchers move closer to commercialisation through ecosystem connections, practical tools, and targeted support. Events like this Info Day are part of how that journey starts.
