REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED

Do the terms of the EU project funding call sound too complicated?
Have you tried applying for EU funding programs but were unsuccessful?
Would you like to improve your application skills?

Then let’s meet in Klaipėda at the EU project writing workshop!

The main goal of the workshop is to help potential applicants understand how to prepare the highest-quality project proposals for three EU funding programs: “Creative Europe,” “Horizon Europe,” and the Citizens, Equality, Rights, and Values (CERV) program.

Why this is important: All programs are popular among applicants from both the EU and Lithuania, so as the number of applications submitted increases and in order to secure funding, applications must be of exceptionally high quality, well-founded, and fully compliant with all evaluation criteria.

PLEASE NOTE: This workshop is intended only for participants who are familiar with the EU funding programs mentioned.
