The main aim of the conference will be to share experiences of the GUILD members and South-East Europe universities and to discuss further the Horizon 2020 widening instruments. The conference will focus on the possible synergies with national funding and structural funds and will share best practices and ideas for improvement and future collaboration. A Guild position paper on this topic will be presented and discussed with representatives of the European Commission, member universities, other universities and the Slovenian government.
