The main objective of Europa Media Public Service Corporation is to structure and to disseminate all available but still dispersed information about the European Union. We believe that this knowledge – especially the preparation of projects – cannot be the privilege of those who can afford to pay for these services.
The European Summer Academy organised only once a year is the cost-sensitive version of the well-established European Funding Academy. The Summer Academy is the ultimate solution for the staff of universities, companies, governmental and non-governmental organisations to learn how to develop proposals and manage EU funded projects. Many organizations, especially from New Member States can benefit from this practical knowledge.
During the 4-week eLearning course participants review all available EU Funds focused on FP7 in well structured theoretical and practical modules. By the time the workshop starts participants already know each-other.
The unique feature of the 5-day workshop is that participants will have the opportunity to experience the entire life-cycle of an FP7 project through role-playing and listening to real-life examples under the guidance of experienced project managers. The course is highly interactive and each day focuses on a different aspect of project development and management. (See below)
