How the event will run
The event will be structured in two distinct parts.
1. Technical presentation of the call
In the first part, we will clearly and practically cover:
- eligibility requirements
- eligible expenses
- evaluation criteria and scoring
- how to submit the application
- key elements to increase your chances of success
The aim is to provide a concrete overview of the call, highlighting strategic aspects and pitfalls to avoid.
2. One-to-One sessions – by advance registration
The second part will be dedicated to individual in-depth meetings. During the one-to-one sessions, participants can receive an initial technical discussion on the consistency of their project with the call requirements, eligible costs, and the application set-up.
A practical opportunity to quickly assess the feasibility of your application and properly orient the preparation work.
FIN4I will also be presented, the platform developed by TEC4I FVG for automatic monitoring of facilitated finance opportunities at regional, national, and European level.
