In the framework of the EBSOMED project, BUSINESSMED (Union of Mediterranean Confederations of Enterprises) conducted from the 18th to the 20th January 2023,   a training aimed at refreshing the knowledge of the participants on the tools to develop a solid project proposal for the European Commission (EC) and providing an overview of what to expect in 2023 regarding NDICI (INTPA/NEAR) fundings of interest for BUSINESSMED. The training also aimed at improving the participants' skills and attitudes towards monitoring, evaluating and closing EC funded projects.

The participants learned what grant beneficiaries need to do when closing an EC funded project, in compliance with the applicable PRAG. In addition, the participants were able to find and understand the information on EC calls for proposals published in the Europeaid website and master the way to fill-in adequately the different parts of the Concept Note and the Full application when applying for an EC call for proposals. By the end of the training, the participants were aware of the upcoming NEAR/INTPA calls of interest for BUSINESSMED in 2023 and felt confident when answering to them.
