Advice

How to increase your chances for eligibility? :
To make sure that your project will retain the attention of the European Commission, it is crucial to highlight its innovative character, its European dimension and its impact on the long term, while setting it within the context of the EU policy objectives.

The importance of planning :
Why planning? Each project is a unique and complex process. A detailed and comprehensive planning is essential to work effectively and ensuring the objectives are adequately met.Solid planning allows the project coordinator and partners to clarify the complex tasks, to anticipate and be flexible ...
