Writing an effective abstract for a Horizon Europe (HE) proposal is a critical first step in presenting your project idea to the European Commission. The abstract is often the first thing reviewers will see, and it plays a crucial role in determining whether your proposal will capture their interest. A well-crafted abstract can make all the difference in setting the tone for the entire proposal.

In Horizon Europe projects, measuring success and tracking progress is crucial. As we move through the project lifecycle, it's important to differentiate between three key concepts: results, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), and impact. Each plays a distinct role in ensuring that the project achieves its objectives and delivers meaningful outcomes.
