Professional Project Management and Collaborative Calls in Horizon Europe
The group harnesses EAIC's collective experience and know-how to ensure its members are best equipped to support collaborative R&D proposals and projects funded by the European Commission.
European research and innovation collaborative projects are complex, and their management and implementation is a challenge that requires a range of professional skills and tools.
Experience shows that the influence of effective and professional project management has a decisive impact on project performance and results. That is the reason why it has been professionalised throughout the years, both internally with the set-up of dedicated EU projects support teams, or externally with professional consultants.
