EU Research & Innovation News, Events and Courses - Europa Media Newsletter - April 2017
05-04-2017
Dear Reader,
In our latest newsletter we asked you to share with us your experiences, opinions and impressions related to your participation in Horizon 2020. We are now pleased to show you the results of our survey, which point at an overall feeling that access to EU funding through proposals is still very complex, and that the reputation of partners, and especially of coordinators, can play a decisive role in the success of a proposal.
During our latest Horizon 2020 Proposal Development training course, which had a specific focus on “Impact”, we engaged in lively discussions on the dissemination and communication tools that can help maximise a project’s impact; learn how you can fully unlock the potential of social media in a European project from our latest blog post here.
Dissemination and communication are not the only elements that will help transform your successful proposal into a smooth project: to have a thorough overview of a European research and innovation project in its full cycle, join our European Funding Academy this June in Budapest. From proposal development to project management and financial reporting, our trainers will share with you the lessons learned from dozens of winning and lost H2020 proposals they have worked on since 2014, and from the twelve H2020 projects they have been running at Europa Media, including closed ones, for which full final reports have been submitted.
We hope to see you there!
Gabor Kitley
CEO

Our Survey with Horizon 2020 beneficiaries:Your impressions on proposal preparation and project implementation
Valentina Zuri
As we reached halfway through the EU’s eighth Framework Programme for Research and Innovation, at Europa Media we were increasingly eager to discover the opinions our colleagues in some of the key aspects of participation in Horizon 2020. To find out what peer project managers, researchers and funding consultants think of the current state of things in EU funding for research and innovation, we launched a survey consisting of six questions.
Social Media: an inevitable part of communication in European projects
Cosmina Bisboaca
The rising importance of technology in our lives has led to more connected people to online information, not only limited to computers, but also to smartphones and tablets. This makes us face an audience that is connected 24/7 and has the expectation to be continuously updated.
