Set your EU funding proposal up for success – Key steps before the next Call opens
Increase your EU funding success chances – how to lay the groundwork to set your EU proposal up for success already ahead of the Call opening
Finding EU funding opportunities and completing an EU funding application can be a challenging task, especially for newcomers and small and medium sized organisations. EU Funding Consulting offers information and hands-on support to submit a high-quality EU funding proposal for your project idea.
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:
Tell me your project idea(s) and I’ll advise you on the most suitable EU funding programme(s) for you.
Get individualised coaching support for your EU grant application or for on-going project reporting.
