Values + Vision

Training consists of modules that will teach you how to navigate across the EU funding ecosystem, how to identify opportunities, search for organisations with common goals, introduce your company to experienced leading players and participate into winning consortia.
All modules are divided into shorter sessions to help you understand the main concepts in just a few minutes.
