SUMMARY:12th Edition of Aperitivo con le Imprese
DESCRIPTION:On 12 November 2026\, the University of Siena’s Liaison Office hosts a new session of “Aperitivo con le Imprese“\, an initiative designed to inspire students and graduates toward entrepreneurship and business creation. Starting at 16:00 at the Santa Chiara Lab Showroom in Siena\, the event will highlight the three new academic spin-offs established in 2026 within the University’s research laboratories: \n\nDETHENCO: Offers specialized services for the analysis of circulating RNAs in biofluids\, integrating molecular analysis\, bioinformatics\, biostatistics\, and biological-clinical interpretation.\nGEARC (Geo-Environmental and Archaeological Research Center): Capitalizes on academic research expertise in Earth sciences\, archaeology\, and cultural heritage diagnostics\, providing specialized analytical and consulting services.\nUnAIverse: Aimed at bringing high-value AI solutions to B2B and B2G markets\, using a human-centric approach focused on personalization and tailored dataset optimization for concrete business needs.\n\nNow in its 12th edition\, the event retains its established informal style\, foregoing formal slide presentations in favor of concise 10-to-12-minute talks. Company founders will share their entrepreneurial journeys\, discussing both the highlights and the practical challenges encountered along the way. \nFollowing the presentations\, a networking aperitivo will be served from 17:30\, providing an open space for students\, researchers\, and entrepreneurs to exchange ideas\, ask questions\, and explore innovative projects emerging from the University of Siena. \n

SUMMARY:APRE COURSES 2026: "The Lump Sum Scheme in Horizon Europe" in-person training course
DESCRIPTION:APRE is organizing the training course “The Lump Sum Scheme in Horizon Europe” (“Lo schema Lump Sum in Horizon Europe”)\, taking place on 24 November 2026\, from 10:00 to 13:00 and from 14:00 to 16:00 in Room M\, Presidio in Via Mattioli\, 10 – Siena. \nThe event is organized in collaboration with the University of Siena\, Scuola Normale Superiore\, University of Pisa\, Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna\, and the University of Florence. \nIn recent years\, the European Commission has systematically expanded the use of the Lump Sum scheme across Horizon Europe\, making it a central financing model that will cover around 50% of overall calls in the 2026-2027 Work Programmes. While this funding model significantly simplifies financial management by removing real-cost reporting in favor of pre-agreed fixed amounts\, it also reshapes the entire project lifecycle\, making work plan design\, deliverable setting\, and budget distribution far more strategic during proposal writing. \nThis course provides participants with an operational and up-to-date overview of the Lump Sum model\, systematically addressing all project phases from proposal drafting and new budget template usage to consortium management\, monitoring\, and ex-post controls. Through practical case studies and interactive workshop sessions focused on the Consortium Agreement\, attendees will gain hands-on expertise to navigate Lump Sum projects effectively and confidently.
