The five-day International Summer EU Grant Academy for Research, Technological Development and Innovation focuses on the key skills and competences that each organisation needs to develop in order to build and increase its absorption capacity and establish a continuous process of obtaining grant funding for Research, Technological Development and Innovation:

• Identification and evaluation of project ideas
• Identification of project ideas suitable for grant funding
• Searching for appropriate calls for proposals
• Preparation of a project proposal
• Finding the right partners and creating a complementary consortium
• Administrative and financial management of grant funded projects
• Preparation of project reports
• Efficient preparation for audit controls

The International Summer EU Grant Academy, therefore, aims at providing the participants with the necessary knowledge and skills to successfully implement and manage the process of obtaining grant funding within their organisation.
The Academy targets institutions that want to develop their absorption capacity and provide their staff with specific practical skills for preparing competitive project proposals, coordinating the planned project activities among their partners and preparing financial reports of the project.
The International Summer EU Grant Academy for Research, Technological Development and Innovation is a result of a series of seven EU Grant Academies since 2008, organised by RR & CO. Knowledge Centre Ltd. in Slovenia, Croatia, and in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The programme and application form can be found here.
