Horizon Europe Intelligence-The Full Recipe for Horizon Europe Success: From Idea to Impact

Master the essentials of Horizon Europe and the full proposal development cycle in a live, hands-on session designed to help you think, act, and lead like a winning coordinator. You’ll learn how to read the programme with intention, turn ideas into compelling concepts, and structure proposals that speak the evaluator’s language—so your application moves from promising to fundable.

Guided by Nikolaos Floratos, a globally recognized Horizon Europe expert with 25+ years of experience, the training blends strategy with action. You’ll adopt the B.U.N.D.L.E.R.™ habits that drive leadership and momentum; navigate work programmers, portals, and TRLs to gather critical funding intelligence; and use the I.C.R.E.A.T.E.S.™ formula to transform an initial concept into a complete, coherent proposal. You’ll then refine it with the C.R.I.T.E.R.I.A.™ approach, aligning content to what evaluators expect and reward.

Across the session, we move from mindset to mechanics: building the right consortium, shaping the narrative, assembling the “building bricks” of the application, and pressure-testing drafts through practical exercises, role plays, and targeted feedback. The experience is deliberately interactive—“learning by doing” that leaves you with reusable frameworks, a clearer roadmap, and tangible outputs you can apply immediately to your next submission.
