Discover the EU-GaNoM project

The EU Grant advisors Network of Multipliers (EU-GaNoM) is an Erasmus+ KA220 project designed to strengthen the capacity of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) across Europe in the development and management of EU projects, through the upskilling of grant advisors and associated staff members.
 

Activities

  • Development of two staff training weeks for EU grant advisors and project managers, combining the deisgn of training content (pedagogical hybrid content, workshop activities) with phases of practical experimentation in two host partner universities (Linnaeus in 2025 and Murcia in 2026)
  • Organisation of a job-shadowing seminar on staff training week implementation in European universities (online, April 2026)
  • Design of a toolkit to support the implementation of staff training weeks on EU projects, including guidelines, activity sheets (workshops, evaluation, ice-breaking sessions etc.) and template support documents
  • Design of training courses on EU project design and management, as well as their digitalisation (production of interactive powerpoint presentations)
  • Dissemination activities through presentations in conferences at EU level (France Université and ERACON Congress, 2026)
  • Organisation of a final conference (forthcoming - Nantes, October 2026)

Results

The EU-GaNoM has produced a range of practical, reusable training deliverables:
  • Staff training week toolkit 
    • Guidelines (to be published)
    • Activity sheets (to be published)
    • Template support documents (to be published)
  • A set of training courses on key EU project design and management topics,  tailored for grant advisors and support administrative staff
    • These courses will be available on an online repository (to be updated).
These results will support European universities for the implementation of staff training weeks or sessions (at EU, national or local level) to upskills grant advisors, project managers or support staff.
