I am very proud to present to you all a new episode concept in this podcast: The Grant Q&A.

The concept is as simple as it is hopefully informative:

1. A guest has some questions in relation to EU funding

2. Another guest is a capacity and can reply those questions

Through this concept other beneficiaries throughout Europe approaching the same funding scheme can get enlightened on issues that they have already stumbled into or will eventually stumble into. I will slowly add episodes to The Grant Q&A as I move on. There are no limitations to the questions so please reach out if you would like to be involved.

In this episode we will have a look at the Erasmus+ Cooperation Partnership calls. Stelios Procopiou, co-founder and Director in the company Chrysalis LEAP, is developing trainings for start-up companies and he wants to get some support from Erasmus+ to develop his trainings. But he has some questions before throwing himself at this.

Christina Achilleos, owner and founder of the grants consultancy company InnoEUsphere, is an Erasmus+ expert with 45 successful Erasmus+ proposals under her belt. She is the right one for Stelios to ask those questions he has! Please enjoy as we dig into components of the proposal, evaluation criteria, how to keep the proposal on track and so on. Lots and lots of great guidance content for anyone sitting right now and preparing a proposal for this Septembers call round in Erasmus.
