The Horizon Europe Academy covers the full life cycle of a research and innovation project. starting from the conceptual phase to financial audits.  

The Academy consists of 3 parts in 5 days. You can attend the whole Academy or choose the preferred part(s) separately. 

Live presentations will be complemented with eLearning modules to ensure flexible and effective knowledge transfer.  

The Academy starts with a 2-day webinar which will provide a complete insight into writing and submitting competitive proposals in response to open calls in Horizon Europe. The combination of practical presentations and hands-on online exercises will introduce all aspects that you need to know, from identifying the right call for your project idea to developing and submitting a competitive proposal. We share first-hand experiences from the first submissions.

After reviewing proposal writing, we will dedicate two days to discuss the management and reporting of Horizon Europe projects. We show real examples and share our management tools. These will ease your project management journey while preparing your periodic technical and financial report for the EC.

We finish with financial matters. What are the financial rules of Horizon Europe? How to figure out what is eligible and what is not, and how that helps you to develop your budget or report your costs? How to do personnel cost calculation and reporting?

Who is this webinar for?  

This is the most appreciated series of webinars by EM participants. This gives you all you need to know about Horizon Europe – on proposal and project level. Do not forget – you can write better proposals if you know the rules of management and finances – and vice versa – you become a better project manager if you understand how a proposal is developed from scratch. There are more linkages in HE than before – you meet at open science, innovation management, finances, data management, IPR etc.  

Who we are  

Europa Media is a unique company supporting public and private organisations to develop successful project proposals and effectively manage projects under the EU's research and innovation programmes since FP5. Over the past 20 years, our team has been directly involved in writing successful proposals and coordinating and managing projects under different EU programmes. Under Horizon 2020, we have been involved in over 30 projects as coordinators and partners. Our workshops and seminars are designed based on this direct experience we have from our own proposals and projects - we discuss and reflect on a lot of specific problems during these events. They are therefore quite hands-on with real-life examples and stories. This practical approach has attracted over 10,000 participants from all over the world in the past 15 years.
