Laboratory: Europlanning: from the Idea to the Project

The lab aims to provide students with technical theory and practice (at an introductory level) in Europlanning, which involves the design, drafting and submission of projects in the framework of g European calls for funding.
The lab is part of the European Union and Global Challenges curriculum and aims to open the door for students to enter the world of work as a Europlanner/Project Manager capable of taking charge of applications by public bodies, companies, association and other actors to European calls for funding.
The teaching methods, course content and assessment methods applied in the lab give students the necessary theoretical tools, promote the practical application of knowledge and develop their ability to self-evaluate outcomes. An active and diligent participation in classroom learning is therefore essential to enable students to achieve their learning objectives.

Upon completing the lab, students will understand the contents of European calls for funding, the main elements necessary to apply for funding and the life cycle of projects co-funded by the European Union.
By participating in classroom learning, students will also be able to test their ability to apply their own knowledge when it comes to generating planning ideas, drafting calls for funding applications and making provisional assessments as to whether call requirements are met.
The knowledge and competences acquired will enable students to become skilled Europlanning professionals by accessing training courses specifically intended for training in the professional role of Europlanners.
