LIVE ONLINE WORKSHOP
A strong Horizon Europe consortium is more than a list of capable partners.
Well-known organisations, broad geographic spread and a sufficient number of partners are a good start, but not a recipe for success yet. Evaluators will look at the consortium in relation to the proposal as a whole: the Call, the project objectives, the planned work and the expected results.
This 2-hour live workshop will help you assess your planned Horizon Europe consortium more strategically while there is still room to strengthen the consortium logic.
Consortium design is often discussed early, but not always tested carefully enough before drafting begins.
This can lead to questions such as:
If these questions are not addressed early, the proposal can become harder to write – and less convincing for evaluators.
What makes a consortium convincing?
We will look at consortium design from an evaluator perspective: what makes partner roles credible, relevant and clearly justified.
From Call logic to consortium needs
You will learn how to move from the Call text and expected outcomes to the functions, partner profiles and roles your project needs to deliver credibly.
Common consortium design mistakes
We will discuss frequent weaknesses, such as unclear roles, missing implementation or uptake perspectives, unnecessary complexity, or partners included without a clear purpose.
Practical exercises and consortium diagnosis
You will work with short examples to identify what feels convincing, what is missing, and where the logic breaks down – and then apply the same thinking to your own project idea or planned consortium.
You do not need to have a well developed proposal yet. The workshop is especially useful while the consortium is still being shaped.
The workshop is designed for organisations that still have room to think strategically about their consortium structure.
You will leave with a clearer way to assess whether your consortium logic follows the Call, whether key functions are covered, and whether partner roles are clear, relevant and well justified.
You will also identify concrete points to strengthen in your own consortium thinking before the proposal structure becomes too fixed.
When the consortium is well designed, the proposal becomes easier to write, the implementation section becomes more credible, and evaluators can more easily understand why this group of partners is the right one to deliver the project.
Bonuses included with your registration:
I have been working in EU funding and policy for over 20 years, supporting organisations in securing EU grants across a wide range of fields – from social inclusion and environmental sustainability to research and innovation.
Through workshops, trainings and hands-on advisory support, I have helped many small and medium-sized organisations – including NGOs, public bodies and companies – take their first confident steps into the EU funding landscape and develop successful funding strategies and proposals.
I am a committed advocate for sustainability and have been closely engaged with European environmental policies and funding programmes for many years. My work builds on hands-on experience across EU policy and funding instruments, including roles linked to EU Structural Funds, Horizon Europe and National Contact Point activities, as well as work within and alongside EU institutions and agencies.
Drawing on this experience, this workshop is designed to make EU funding more accessible and to support environmental and sustainability actors in taking their work further with the help of EU funding.
Participation fee: 97€ (excl. VAT)
Places are limited to keep the workshop practical and interactive.

Key Terminologies – Application Guidance
This guidance compares and compare and clarifies the 10 key terminologies within an EU funding application. How should you address them in your proposal, and what kind of information belongs to which one of them?
Online Workshop on 6 November!
The workshop “Getting Started with EU Funding” is for participants with no or very limited experience in EU funding. Discover what kind of projects the EU is funding, the requirements and how you can apply for funding in your thematic field.
