How to exploit with just six steps European Research and Innovation funding for boosting the success of your organization

Athens, 20-21 January 2025 from 09:30 till 13:30

Venue Place: Point124

The training will take place in English and follows the approach below:

Day 1: 20 January 2025

• In Person Training on Horizon Europe Intelligence: Ideal for anyone irrespectively of their current experience, they want to understand the structure of Horizon Europe and the intelligence behind it and how they can exploit it as partners. Essential for potential partners in Horizon Europe proposals

Day 2: 21 January 2025

• In Person Training on Intelligent Networking For the first time, there is a course that focuses on practical steps and tools for identifying open calls and consortia for joining their project. The formula works 100%. The course will be completed with hands-on practice and one-to one sessions with each participant and the trainer for describing their profile and assets.

The course on Horizon Europe is organized specifically for participants from Israel that have no experience on European funding and you will have the opportunity to network with them also.

Key Purpose

Participants irrespectively of their current experience, they will master the whole Horizon Europe structure and mainly the three vertical pillars as well as their intelligence and learn also how to find relevant calls and consortia for joining their proposals

Learning Objectives and Structure

No matter what is your experience in European Research, you will achieve the following objectives for specific call(s) of your choice:

Day 1  Structure : Horizon Europe Intelligence

• Step 1/Module 1: Understanding the intelligence behind Horizon Europe based on its structure, key documents, fundamental concepts, the call topic structure and the pre-requisites for a successful grant application
• Step2/Module 2: Understanding how to be successful in Pillar I and Pillar 2 mainly as partner
• Step 3/Module 3: Understanding how to be successful in Pillar 3 mainly as partner

Day 2 Structure: Intelligent Networking

• Step 4/Module 4 – Profile Intelligence: Build your assets and add value to your profile as a small or big organization
• Step 5/Module 5 – Contact Details Intelligence: Exploit public tools such as F& T portal, Cordis, Horizon Dashboard, Google, forms and social media for identifying contact details for potential proposal initiators
• Step 6/Module 6 – Communication Intelligence: Master techniques for engaging with identified potential proposal initiators

N.B.: In this hands-on practice course, we will show you how your organisation with or without any experience in Horizon Europe or in other European funding programmes can intelligently identify grant application actors in Horizon Europe (but also applicable in any other European funding programme) and convince them to join their consortia. The recipe works 100% and it is outside the normal channels (social media, partner search facilities, etc) for finding potential partners that do not work in practice.
