eCourse on Project Management of European Funded Research and Innovation Projects

This course based on live recordings will transform you into a leading project manager of EU funded projects that delivers results of high scientific, economic and social impact. For the first time, there is a course that focuses on practical steps and tools without using any of the established project management methodologies that add a lot of jargon, administration work-load as well as confusion to the project consortium and no-one uses in reality. This course balances the necessary documentation and commitment required by the EC as funding authority with the freedom and flexibility to create new discoveries in highly funded projects. It is based on 24 years of experience in project management of innovative EC funded projects with the latest developments in modern project management.
