You do the research – we take care of everything else
Effective project management is a central element of successful research. This is because large projects entail a lot of administrative work. Since the 6th Framework Programme (FP6) through to the current Horizon Europe Programme, the EU Commission has explicitly demanded solid project management. Also, when it comes to evaluation, project management is one criterion: What counts are effective decision-making structures, human resources and relevant expertise.
