Hello, I’m Astrid,

I’ve been working in EU funding and policy for over 20 years, supporting organisations in securing grants across various fields –  from social inclusion and environmental sustainability to research and innovation.

Through workshops, trainings, and hands-on support, I’ve helped many small and medium-sized entities – including nonprofits, public bodies, and companies – take their first confident steps into the EU funding landscape, and apply for EU grants.

This course brings together what I’ve learned over the years in a structured, accessible way, especially for those new to the process.
