EU Grants Unlocked: Your First Funding Wins as a Startup Founder
Many early-stage founders don't realize that Erasmus+ grants are open to startups, or assume the application process isn't worth the effort. This session breaks down how these grants actually work, who qualifies, and what a realistic first application looks like. What you'll take away: Which Erasmus+ grant schemes are relevant for early-stage startups and how to assess your eligibility How the application and evaluation process works, including the criteria reviewers use to score proposals A clear next step: leaving with enough clarity to decide whether and how to pursue your first application What makes this session different: The focus is on the entry-level grants, the ones with lighter requirements and faster turnaround, rather than the large programs that dominate most EU funding guides. The goal is practical orientation, not an exhaustive overview of every available scheme.
