PARTICIPANTS

-    New-comers to the world of EU projects: Get familiar!
There are a lot of opportunities for gaining the financial support from European budget; still, you need to understand the whole mechanism to take the advantage of EU funding. Otherwise the risk of crucial mistakes in a project is quite high.
-    Experienced EU project managers: Learn and exchange!
We can always learn something new and improve our skills with best practices of others. There might be some problems which make your EU project life difficult – discuss them on seminar, get guidelines.
-    Representatives of managing authorities for EU projects: Foster cooperation with beneficiaries!
Tasks related to management of EU programs, even in a local area, are complex; the fluctuation of personnel is intensive as much as in other modern business. Understand how EU project partnerships operate and what are their most common challenges - in order to evaluate proposals and to manage cooperation with beneficiaries even more effective.
