What our customers say about us

MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship Proposal Writing Training
When you first set yourself to write a MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship application, the first reaction is to be overwhelmed at the panoply of documents, guides and instructions given by the commission. This is where the training from the FFG team proved essential to writing the application: by helping understand what the MSCA evaluators are expecting, and to navigate the differences between work packages and tasks, milestones and deliverables. I highly recommend their training!

Training on applying for Horizon Europe funding – focus on collaborative projects

‘The training was extremely valuable! The stakeholder mind map and the evaluator's input helped me to look at the application process from different perspectives. The group work and the explanations on lump sum funding were particularly useful.’

Dr Marie Macherhammer, HyCentA | Hydrogen Research Centre Austria

Training in project management in Horizon Europe

"As a Horizon Europe project coordinator, the University of Klagenfurt benefits greatly from the FFG Academy training course “Project Management in Horizon Europe”. The practical examples and personal exchange of experiences are very valuable.

The FFG training courses qualify ‘third space professionals’ in the field of research and thus enable successful EU projects. The Control of Networked Systems Group and the Health Psychology Unit at the University of Klagenfurt look forward to continuing this successful collaboration."

Dr. Barbara Pöcher, University of Klagenfurt, Institute for Intelligent System Technologies | Control of Networked Systems, Institute of Psychology | Department of Health Psychology

EIC Accelerator Interview Training

"When we got further with the EIC, the FFG Academy organised an interview training session. The feedback was constructively critical and prompted us to completely redesign and rewrite our pitch. I think that was one of the factors that ultimately led to us being awarded the project in the EU hearing. We are very grateful to the FFG Academy for this!‘

Thomas Neubauer, Dimetor GmbH

Training Project Management in Horizon Europe

’The training course “Project Management in Horizon Europe” gave me valuable insights into the specific requirements and opportunities of this programme. The practical examples and discussions with experts and other participants were helpful. I found the topics of financial reporting and reporting to the EU Commission particularly relevant. In view of the new financial guidelines for Horizon Europe projects, it is crucial to deal with these aspects in depth in order to be able to apply them correctly in the company. I recommend this training to anyone working in this field."
