Hands-On Erasmus+ Proposal Workshop — built from experience, not theory.

This live workshop transforms the knowledge from Part 1: The Recipe 4 Success in Erasmus+ into direct practice.

You will not just learn the methodology — you will apply it, and leave with the structure of your own proposal.

You will master the following for each of the grant application sections in a collaborative Erasmus Plus proposal with

focus on the four evaluation criteria

• Relevance of the project,

Strategic Funding Masterclass + Sailing Cruise Experience
18-19 Sept 2026 (Athens)

Course Purpose

Give R&I professionals a two-in-one springboard: squeeze the most out of Horizon Europe’s final 2025-27 calls and line up early wins for the € 175 billion FP10 era that begins in 2028. Day 1 blends a “last-minute opportunity hunt” of Horizon Europe with forward-looking FP10 readiness; Day 2 lets insights ferment naturally on a relaxed Aegean cruise, where conversations are transformed into partnerships.

Learning Objectives :

Spot and prioritize high-value Horizon Europe 2025-27 calls that match your expertise, with emphasis on the programme’s new competitiveness drive and the € 7.2 billion 2025 call pot.
Draft a compliant lump-sum budget (now > 35 % of grants and heading to 50 % by 2027) and avoid common audit flags.
Map your pathway from Horizon Europe to FP10, understanding the four-pillar structure and the proposed € 175 billion budget envelope.
Leverage Widening/ERA instruments and the quality seal to boost success odds
Design a personal FP10 readiness roadmap that locks in people, processes and partners before the programme launches.

Structure in Modules

Day 1 — 18 Sept (09:30 – 17:00 | Athens)

Morning: “Last-Minute Horizon Europe Wins”

Welcome & Funding Landscape (09:30): Why the 2025-27 work-programme pivot to competitiveness is a gift for agile consortia.
Opportunity Radar (10:00): Live walkthrough of cluster dashboards and search tricks to surface late-stage calls in Digital/Industry/Space, Health, Security, Inclusive Societies, Energy and Agrifood. Participants shortlist 1-2 topics each.
Quick-Win Proposal Sprint (11:30): Teams draft a one-pager using the STEP Seal template—ideal for scoring fast under the lighter 2025 rules.

Lunch Panel (13:00): Recent Horizon Europe awardees share how they hacked the two-stage evaluation and blind review pilots.

Afternoon: “Shift Gear to FP10”

FP10 Deep-Dive (14:00): Decode pillars, budgets, simplified rules and the Competitiveness Fund interface.
Change-Readiness Workshop (16:00): Build your FP10 readiness canvas—governance tweaks, skill gaps, partnership wish-list—and get peer feedback.
Wrap-Up (16:45): Capture “first-100-days” commitments that bridge Horizon Europe actions to FP10 prep.

Day 2 — 19 Sept (10:00 – ≈19:30 | “Relax, Sail & Mingle”)

A no-agenda catamaran cruise through Aegina, Moni and Agkistri. Coffee, swims and scenic sails frame organic networking. Facilitators simply weave introductions and surface synergies; proposal ideas emerge on deck or notepads at your own pace. We dock back in Athens early evening, sun-kissed and armed with new contacts and clear next steps. Conversations start over coffee, drift toward FP10 ideas or stay blissfully off-topic—it’s your call. We anchor off Aegina for a swim and stroll, share a barbeque on deck, then glide to Moni for snorkeling or shaded chats. The skipper decides on a late-afternoon pause near Agkistri; sunset finds us raising a toast while swapping contacts and casual commitments (“Let’s exchange a concept note next week”). We dock back in Athens by 19:00–19:30—sun-kissed, re-energized and richer in prospective partners.
