"Using public funds to finance complex research and development projects"

National governments and the EU manage several funding programmes to finance research projects. Because of limited budgets and ever-increasing numbers of applicants, in spite of large number of programmes available only the highest-quality applications are approved for grants.

Preparing a sound proposal
Preparing a sound proposal for a research project, involving several organisations and with millions euro of budget is a very time consuming and challenging task.
