The big opportunity for SMEs – SME Instrument under H2020

Step-by-step approach for exploiting successfully SME instrument under Horizon 2020

Why to take this course?

This is not one more course on SME Instrument under Horizon 2020 but the only course that will guide you step-by-step on how to write a winning proposal under SME Instrument. Did you know that SME Instrument has the lowest success rate in the whole Europe (only 6% of the submitted proposals are granted funding)? However, there is a pattern for successful proposals. The course schedule addresses either the needs of any applicants that already have a draft proposal ready for the 25 November 2015 cut-off date/submission deadline and want to improve it significantly or start from scratch and prepare them for the next cut-off date submission deadline on 16 December 2015.
