Project Results from our training course in Greece. The project has been supported by Erasmus+ and Greek National Agency (I.NE.DI.VI.M)

2. HOW TO ADMINISTRATE EU GRANTS
MORE EFFECTIVELY
More than 50 billion euros are distributed by the European Commission each year.
The direct access to the European Commission programmes are granted by the
European Commission from Brussels. These EU funding programmes cover the
major European issues: education, research, environment, transport, culture ....
These grants are available to all public, private or non profit organizations.
There are many "constraints": the European dimension of the project, the number of
partners involved ...This funding source requires a precise methodology, despite its
apparent complexity, it offers those who come to our training(s) very valuable skills
and brings to any organization European visibility and additional financial
resources.
