An Opportunity to Apply for Advisory Support for the Preparation of “Horizon Europe” Twinning Project Proposals
Advisory support for Latvian coordinators in the preparation of project proposals under the European Union programme “Horizon Europe” is now also available for the Twinning call.
The objective of this support scheme is to promote the participation of Latvian scientific institutions in the “Horizon Europe” programme as project coordinators by reimbursing the costs of consultations provided by foreign experts for the improvement of project proposals, up to a maximum amount of EUR 5,000.
The support is intended for Latvian scientific institutions to engage expert services for the provision of advisory assistance to coordinators of “Horizon Europe” project proposals. A consultation shall be understood as oral and written recommendations provided by an expert for the enhancement of a project proposal, as well as a preliminary review of the proposal prior to its submission to a “Horizon Europe” call. Support is granted for project proposals that have received expert consultations and that obtain an evaluation of “above the quality threshold” in the respective “Horizon Europe” call.
