Europlanet Teams Day returns on 20 May for another packed day of networking and community activities. We hope to see you there.
Europlanet Teams Day
20 May 2026 from 11.00 – 15.30 CEST
Theme: Community support and funding
Online
Join us online for a fast-paced, interactive meeting to explore how we can best use Europlanet’s resources to support our community of members and projects they may wish to propose. The morning session will feature facilitated, hands-on discussions to find out about projects supported to date, raise awareness of opportunities and generate ideas on how to shape future funding rounds.
In the afternoon, we will break out into regional and thematic networking sessions. Join us to connect with colleagues, expand your network, and begin your next collaboration.
