This includes contact details and networking opportunities, as well as the option for direct contact via chat or video conference.
Process
The stages for a successful path to European funding are:
Application Consulting Find and review the right call: Does the project fit the call?
Partner Matching/Internationalization Searching for suitable strategic and international partners: Does the choice of partners contribute clear added value for the EU and to competitiveness?
Application Support It is a long road with many milestones to reaching the submission of the application, and achieving them depends on strong drafting and coordination skills.
Project Management Once the application is approved, the usually extensive project management phase begins: Are the necessary competencies in place, or should the regularly offered training and advisory services be used?
Synergies through Follow-up Funding After project completion, the strategic acquisition of further funding along the entire innovation chain takes place: Can the research results be further developed toward practical application?
At every advisory step, ongoing exchange with other applicants, potential cooperation partners, and advisory bodies is essential to the success of both the application and the project. Strong consortia form the basis for a compelling application and successful project implementation.
