Margherita Sani, Project Coordinator at NEMO and author of the NEMO toolkit Cross-border cooperation hosted the webinar "From a project idea to a successful proposal". She was joined by Evelyn Kaindl-Ranzinger, MUSIS, who shared insights of applying for and receiving Erasmus+ funding. In her presentation, Kaindl-Ranzinger highlighted how small institutions can benefit from the different possibilities offered by the programme.
Cross-border cooperation acted as the starting point of the webinar. The NEMO toolkit was published with the aim to empower museums to explore cross-border cooperation and help them to better access EU funding and increase their international activities.
Since the toolkit was released in 2021, a new funding period lasting until 2027 started and EU programmes like Horizon Europe, Creative Europe and Erasmus+ have taken on new characteristics. In the webinar, Margherita Sani reviewed the main principles and recommendations of the toolkit. She also explained some of the new characteristics of the European funding programmes.
