National Contact Point Flanders (NCP Flanders) fulfils its services towards stakeholders located in Flanders.

Since in Belgium NCP services are regionalised, there are 4 other NCP organisations responsible for other stakeholder groups:

The various work programmes are drafted by sixteen Programme Committees consisting of delegates of the participating countries in Horizon 2020.

Representatives from EWI (Department of Economy, Science and Innovation) inform on the drafting process and collect input from stakeholders located in Flanders to bring it on the Belgian and European level, which results in a concrete work programme. This input can typically consist of suggestions for new topics, requests for adaptations on scale, content of proposed projects or feedback on former participants.
