The AIoTwin project was represented on December 3, 2025 at the national webinar organized by the Agency for Mobility and Programs of the European Union, dedicated to the Twinning instrument of the Horizon Europe program.
The event, which targeted researchers and administrative staff, focused on providing key information for achieving a successful Twinning application during the final call in 2026 under Horizon Europe.
Prof. Ivana Podnar Žarko, AIoTwin Project Coordinator, participated as a panelist in the featured discussion and shared first-hand experiences from coordinating the AIoTwin Twinning project.
The panel discussion offered comprehensive, practical advice covering the entire project lifecycle:
- Preparing a Winning Proposal: Strategies and key elements required for a successful application.
- Project Execution and Impact: Main challenges encountered during project execution and methods for maximizing research and institutional impact.
- Project Outcomes: Concrete examples of knowledge transfer and capacity building achieved through Twinning.
AIoTwin is a prime example of how Twinning funding can be used to accelerate research capacities and build strong research networks in advanced fields such as AIoT, Edge AI, and the Cloud-Edge-IoT continuum.
