EU funding for your project

Finding EU funding opportunities and completing an EU funding application can be a challenging task, especially for newcomers and small and medium sized organisations entities. EU Funding Consulting offers information and hands-on support to submit a high-quality EU funding proposal for your project idea.

Getting access to EU funding

In the course of 20 years working with EU policies and projects, I worked with EU grants from several perspectives. This includes writing grant applications myself, giving trainings, advising applicants as a National Contact Point, and being a moderator for proposal evaluation panels.

I have seen that many organisations often do not have the resources to fully engage in and benefit from EU funding opportunities. In particular, the complex rules for participation and a lack of expert knowledge about how to write a successful EU grant proposal present a challenge. Would you like to get support with your application?

What I can do for you:

  • Writing grants: targeted advice or full proposal writing
  • Helping newcomers to navigate EU funding
  • Workshops on EU funding and proposal writing
  • My main focus is currently on: Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values Programme (CERV), Erasmus+ cooperation projects, Horizon Europe (Research and Innovation), LIFE (Environment and Climate Action)
