FP7 Grant Agreement Negotiations are tougher and more stressful than before. Deadlines are strict and partners are sometimes uncooperative. This is only the beginning of FP7 project management. The financial rules and reporting procedures have been modified and audits are playing an increasing role. The FP7 Financial and Project Management course will help ensure successful implementation of your FP7 projects and will also give added insight into how to successfully handle EC and partner communication.

The course targets all those competitively participating in FP7 projects after receiving positive results for FP7 proposal submission and those who have experience in FP6 and need to learn the new rules of FP7. Whether an experienced Framework Programme manager or starting Grant Agreement negotiations for the first time, this FP7 Management course will help you strengthen your management skills.

The event will be held at Hotel Novotel Budapest Danube and will begin with registration at 9.00 on 26 February and the course will end approximately 16.00 on 27 February.

The training will introduce a hands-on approach to FP7 project management, highlighting the changes in the financial framework and implementation guidelines for FP7.
