The training consisted of eight modules: the structure of the applicant institutions, project management, the structure of the H2020 programme, preparation of the project proposals, the preparation process, drafting of project proposals, evaluation of project proposals, and project implementation process.
During the training, which was conducted by Alex Percy Smith and Birgit Kerstens, experts of the IBF consulting company from Brussels, the participants had the opportunity to get acquainted with the new concept of programme promotion at the national level.
