AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

This course aims to provide the necessary analytical tools to: - understand the methodologies and the techniques of EU planning; - elaborate the ability to participate, understand and manage European funding calls; - understand the fundamental know-how to access funding programs at the European level.

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

The course aims to introduce both the research and the preparation of application forms to respond to European calls, and the phases in which a European project is developed. Each phase must respond to and be subject to precise rules and must first of all be capable of responding effectively to calls, which the European institutions publish in the various sectors of Community interest.

The course aims above all to provide skills with a technical content aimed at generating the project idea and at the first assessment of consistency with the call for proposals. Attention will also be paid to skills:

1. of project management for the coordination of activities, objectives, and results expected from the project;
2. basic accounting and finance, useful for budgeting and administrative management;
3. of management, communication, and networking.
