This year’s autumn Partnering Event, annually organised by CORNET and its partner network IraSME, will be taking place once more as a virtual format extending over a period of three weeks.

On 17 June 2021, the Innovation Day for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), annually hosted by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) in Berlin, will take place for the first time as a digital event due to the current pandemic situation. Although, unfortunately, it is not possible to enjoy the showcase of successful innovation projects on the garden grounds of the AiF Projekt GmbH like usual, the organisers have set up a compact alternative programme, transferred into the virtual world.

Cities face major challenges when it comes to climate change. At the same time, urban spaces are innovative centres for confronting climate change. The 9th German-Brazilian Dialogue, taking place online from 17 to 20 May 2021, is dedicated to this complex topic.

On 25 February 2021, the 1st Meeting of the Brazilian Diaspora of Science and Innovation in Germany will be taking place as an online event. The CORNET partners FAPESP and EMBRAPII are co-hosting the event which will be taking place in Portuguese.
