Join Us for The ABCD of EU Funding!

EU calls don’t reward “good ideas” — they reward strategic fit, evaluator clarity, and credible delivery. In this hands-on training, you’ll learn the ABCD framework to turn a call topic into a structured proposal path: from go/no-go and concept logic, to winning narrative, to delivery-ready commitments.

Key Takeaways

A — Align: What’s asked, what’s our fit, Go/No-Go?

B — Build: What’s our logic from objectives to impact and WPs?

C — Compete: How do we convince evaluators—clearly, compliantly, with evidence?

D — Deliver: How do we deliver credibly and de-risk execution?

Take-home: Which templates can we reuse right away?
