Europa Media was founded in 2003 by two individuals who wanted to share their experience gained in proposal development and project management under EU programmes with other interested parties. The EU funding system is complex and the competition to get a project financed by the EU is tough. Specific knowledge, well-established networks and certain skills are needed to successfully get involved in these competitive projects. Europa Media’s mission has thus been to provide clear and structured information about EU funding and improve the skills of people in project development and management. Since its establishment, Europa Media has developed, launched and publicised a variety of information sources and tools including web platforms, publications and events to facilitate access to EU funding and simplify EC project development and management. To date, we have organized hundreds of training courses attended by thousands of participants from all over Europe and beyond. We have also supported many universities, research organisations and SMEs on an advisory/in-house capacity in their efforts to develop winning proposals and effectively implement their projects.
