Coordination and management of collaborative projects
With this last work program, the framework program H2020 is closed. This new content revitalizes and realigns the program to the emerging priorities and, very importantly, it also connects with the next research and development framework program for innovation: Horizon Europe.
During the period 2014-2018, Spain has obtained 3,638.1 million euros in grants from the European Horizon 2020 program (2014-2020). This is the best part during the period of validity of the 7th Framework Program, as well as the total of the grants, as well as the position and the return by Spain, which was then the sixth country, with 8.3% EU – 28. According to CDTI sources.
From Euro-Funding we provide a comprehensive support service in obtaining funds from H2020 to turn an idea into a workable project. From the preparation and presentation of the proposal in front of the funding agency, as well as the support at the level of Project Management to coordination and management of the aid if financed:
