Project management for EU grant projects
The European Union invests millions of euros every year in stimulating innovation, sustainability and social development. They do this, among other things, by funding international cooperation projects within various sectors. These include Horizon Europe, Interreg, CEF, Innovation Fund, Digital Europe and other major European grant programmes.
Taking full advantage of these grant programmes requires not only a strong project proposal, but also effective coordination and expert project management during the project.
Coordinating and managing EU-funded cooperation projects
Have you submitted or already been awarded a EU grant application? Congratulations, that’s an important milestone! But the real work begins now. Successful implementation of an EU project requires professional project management that goes beyond substantive steering. You are responsible not only for the technological and scientific part, but also for its administrative and financial coordination. You need to properly inform all project partners about the applicable grant conditions, deadlines and reporting obligations.
However, for many researchers and project coordinators, the administrative and financial side of an EU project is not their daily work. It is therefore wise to hire an experienced project manager to provide support with coordination, communication and reporting. That way, as a researcher, you keep the focus on the content and innovation, while we take care of the rest.
