PoDoCo spring application round is open from March 1 to April 15, 2021. This year around one million euros will be distributed through the program in two funding rounds. In the beginning of this year the PoDoCo grant was raised to 30,000 euros.
“The PoDoCo webinars held before the application round have been lively and I’ve been contacted by various postdocs and companies. It sounds like we are going to have many interesting cooperation project applications this spring,” says Dr. Seppo Tikkanen, the leader of the PoDoCo program.
In the autumn application round, the number of applications increased.
“PoDoCo gives companies a good opportunity to receive support for renewal even during these uncertain times,” says Tikkanen.
