Third lesson of the EU project design webinar by CBE in collaboration with Fondazione Inarcassa

From strategy to action: mastering operational tools for EU projects

𝐂𝐁𝐄 is proud to continue its partnership with Fondazione Inarcassa for the ongoing 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘓𝘢𝘣, a specialized training initiative designed to empower architects and engineers with the skills needed to navigate European funding.
The third session, held on April 22nd, shifted the focus from theoretical frameworks to concrete operational tools. Designing a successful project isn’t just about having a great idea; it requires a robust logical structure. During the lesson, we delved into the technical heart of 𝘌𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘮𝘶𝘴+ 𝘒𝘈2 applications, covering:

• The project life cycle: moving from the initial funding search to planning and final evaluation.
• Strategic partnerships: using the Partner Information Form (PIF) to build credible, multi-context consortiums.
• Logical framework & GANTT: organizing objectives and activities into a coherent timeline with measurable SMART indicators.
• Budgeting: ensuring financial proposals are realistic, transparent, and efficient.

A huge thank you to our expert speakers, Dr. Alessandro Previtali and Dr. Ettore Melzi, for their clear and insightful guidance through these technical complexities.
We also want to extend a very special thank you to Dr. Nadia Glaeserer, EU Project Manager at Fondazione Luigi Clerici, for her invaluable contribution and expertise in shaping this module.
The journey doesn’t end here! We are now preparing for the next phase: a hands-on workshop in Florence on May 28th, where participants will put these tools into practice by drafting their own concept notes.
