Who they are

Europa Media has been supporting public and private organisations to develop successful project proposals and effectively manage projects under the EU's research and innovation programmes since FP5. Over the past 20+ years, the team has been directly involved in writing successful proposals and coordinating and managing projects under different EU programmes. Under Horizon 2020, they have been involved in over 30 projects as coordinators and partners. Their workshops and seminars are designed based on the direct experience they have from own proposals and projects - discuss and reflect on many specific problems during these events. They are, therefore, quite hands-on with real-life examples and stories. This practical approach has attracted over 10,000 participants from all over the world in the past 17 years.
