This is a FREE one-day virtual event that will introduce the areas under Cluster 6 which are anticipated to present opportunities for partnership with SSH experts over the next two years.  It will also present the rationale and expectations for the inclusion of SSH in proposals, and provide insights from experts, and overall providing a unique international networking experience to forge the winning partnerships of the future.
