Nikolaos Floratos masters managers on creating an audit-proof system for their european funded projects

Nikolaos Floratos last week  has delivered his popular course in Brussels  on Financial Management and how to deal successfully with external audits. The training took place on Monday and Tuesday  29-30 May as part of  the European Academy and European Projects Association courses and  highlighted that anyone can become financial manager of european funded projects as long they are trained properly.  He stressed out that financial management is the only skill that you can start apply immediately, since you don't have to be creative and fully networked in order to start developing proposals for funding and implementing european projects.  In fact, a person with sound financial management skill can never be jobless and there is a european market of 1 trillion EUR that is of high demand of such skill.  He explained that the whole concept in Financial Management is based on just one rule, the ENA™ rule that should be deeply and professionally applied. For more info, tips, advice and training videos in the area of european funding, you can register for free at the Funding Expert Academy.

Right after my experience in South Africa as Horizon 2020 coach, I was invited as key-note speaker  in two events that were taking place at the same days, i. e at the 21st Annual Conference of the European Spas Association  with key actors in the area of wellness and Spa industry and at   Scaleup for Europe in Porto attended by hundreds of startups, highly innovative companies, business angels and venture capitalists.

Nikolaos Floratos, the founder of Funding Expert Academy has delivered in Finland at researchers from Seinajoki and Satakunta Universities and an advanced training course on Horizon 2020 that focused on the step-by-step approach that has to be followed in order anyone to master the daily habits needed for becoming an expert, the techniques for realising which (if any) are the most attractive H2020 calls for the organisation, the 8 steps for submitting successfully an Horizon 2020 proposal, as well as the techniques for impressing positively the evaluators.  Nikolaos Floratos commented that of course a low success rate in Horizon is a big issue but the fact that already more than 9500 proposals have been funded under H2020 proves that consortia that apply specific techniques are in the winning side. This recipe was instructed to the excellent audience in Finland (It was worth it the cold)!

Sound Financial Management practices are critical for a successful completion of a European project. Any European funded project is subject to audit by the European Commission for five years after its end. EC audits have been significantly increased at a European level for the last three years in order to ensure transparent and sound practices are applied and public money are well spent. Nikolaos Floratos trains  8-9 March 2016 in Brussels on behalf of European Academy, individuals and managers how to become professional financial managers of european funded projects and how to develop an audit proof financial management system.

Nikolaos Floratos delivers in Brussels not one more course on SME Instrument under Horizon 2020 but the only course that guides you step-by-step on how to write a winning proposal under SME Instrument. Did you know that SME Instrument has the lowest success rate in the whole Europe (only 6% of the submitted proposals are granted funding)? However, there is a pattern for successful proposals. The course schedule addresses either the needs of any applicants that already have a draft proposal and want to improve it significantly or start from scratch and prepare them for the next cut-off date submission deadline.
​The course takes place in Brussels 2-4 March 2016 at European Academy

I am really excited to join this event and share with others views on the new EU funding programmes and especially for Horizon 2020 and Erasmus plus. The fact that is not based on a structured framework but mainly on on the spot initiatives and ideas makes it even more interesting for me. I can't wait.
