In June 2009 we organized a workshop in Brussels with Project Managers to discuss findings of the KEYLINKS survey on competences required of Project Managers of EU funded projects. On 24th September we organize a large conference with Educational Institutes from all European countries to duscuss the curricula developed and to initiate a European Network of Educational Institutions on Project Management of EU-funded projects.
The major challenge for managers involved in the preparation and implementation of EU funded projects is to have their project application approved and to successfully manage their projects. Their success is closely related to their skills and competences important for effective management of different phases of the project cycle.
