How to become a Europroject designer?
To become a successful Europroject designer, in addition to completing a specialization program like our Master in Europrojecting, it is essential to be familiar with European policies and priorities and to stay updated on European programs. Knowledge of project management and excellent problem-solving skills are also crucial. Most importantly, you must write winning projects and secure funding!
What does Europrojecting mean?
How much does a Europroject designer earn in Italy?
It depends on the type of job and therefore the earnings! If the designer is employed by an organization and receives a salary, they earn around 1500/1800 euros per month. Freelancers, on the other hand, can negotiate a consultancy fee with the client or agree on a percentage (usually between 3% and 5%) of the funding provided by the call. In this case, earnings can be very high, depending on the type of funding requested, but you have to win!
How much can one earn with a European project?
It depends on the type of call/program and the requested funding – this amount is obviously very variable. If the Europroject designer takes a percentage, it is usually between 3% and 5%
What degree does a European project designer have?
No specific degree is required to become a European project designer. Designers may have degrees in the humanities, economics, international relations, or other fields. They often complement their studies with a course or master's degree in Europrojecting.
What does a European project designer do?
A Europroject designer is an expert in European funds and can work as a freelancer, in a European project agency, or for public or private organizations that regularly participate in calls to obtain European funding.
Their job is to monitor calls for proposals, submit proposals, and obviously write winning projects capable of securing available funds in the many sectors in which the European Union operates.
During the project phase, the Europroject designer verifies the accessibility of the call, manages international partners, and develops the best and most competitive idea to win the call. Once funding is secured, they oversee the project and ensure its completion.
Who writes European projects?
The professional figure who writes European projects is the Europroject designer.
What are European projects?
These are projects funded directly by the European Commission or by the European Union, which provides funds to regions through specific funding plans, which the regions allocate through calls.
Where does a Europroject designer work?
The Europroject designer can work as a freelancer, in a European project agency, or for public or private organizations that regularly participate in calls for European funding.
How to participate in a European project?
To participate in a European project, you need an innovative idea, to find the right program and call to fund it, the right partners, and start writing a winning project! The answer to this question is the core of the Master in Europrojecting at Europa Business School.
Reviews
Student testimonials
A highly positive experience with the academic office and the teachers: always available, friendly, and ready to lend a hand! The course provides solid foundations to better understand the world of EU project design and participate in calls for proposals. The theoretical lessons are clear, comprehensive, and rich in content. The practical exercises allow you to work on existing calls and test your project management skills. An added value of this Master’s program is that it uses the official EU project design tools throughout the course.
I am very happy to finally have my title of 'EU Project Manager.' I attended the Master's in EU Project Design online last March after being recommended by a colleague. During the lessons, we use the official EU project design tools and are encouraged to work on numerous 'real-life' projects and examples, with our focus on an Erasmus Plus call. At the end of the course, we receive online mentoring through a Facebook group, with various instructors supporting us in writing an actual project. Thanks to everyone!
I attended the Master's in EU Projects Design & Management last September, and it was one of the best choices I've ever made. The course provided me with the skills and knowledge needed to write a successful project and access EU funding to implement it. The lessons were very well organized, the instructors were highly qualified, and always available to help the class with any doubts that might arise. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to access EU funding or simply acquire valuable skills that are in high demand in today's job market.
