Embarking on six new projects funded by the European Commission through Erasmus+ programme and the Interregional Innovation Investments (I3) Instrument.
Welcoming a new year at OnProjects always motivates us to explore fresh avenues filled with creativity and progress. The year 2023 marked a period of significant growth for our team, boasting noteworthy achievements: we unveiled our re-branding along with a new website, and actively participated in relevant events in the cultural and heritage sector, consolidating our collaboration network in this specialised area. Adding to these milestones is the initiation of six projects backed by European funds, where we assume key roles as experts in European project management, communication, and dissemination.
Five of these new projects have been funded within the framework of Key Action 2 (K2) – being 4 Erasmus+ Cooperation Partnerships and 1 Erasmus+ Innovation Partnership The European Union program aimed at supporting education, training, youth, and sports in Europe. The sixth project we are embarking on has received funding under the Interregional Innovation Investments (I3) Instrument, designed to enhance the development of European value chains by mobilising innovation ecosystems for the expansion and commercialisation of interregional innovation projects.
