EUREC Agency, in collaboration with MEP Judith Merkies, has hold a workshop on the successor programme to FP7 on 14 June at the European Parliament 4-6:30pm. The date also marked the 20th anniversary of EUREC Agency and food and drinks were served afterwards at nearby Renewable Energy House to celebrate the occasion.

The EC announced the results at a public conference on 10 June before preparing its legislative proposal by end 2011. EUREC Agency submitted its position paper, which can be found here.
