EU-GaNoM (European Grant Advisors Network of Multipliers) is an Erasmus+ Cooperation Partnership project that aims to strengthen the professional capacities of staff involved in European project development and management in higher education institutions. The project promotes knowledge exchange, practical training and international collaboration among European universities.

EU-GaNoM aims to enhance the skills of university staff working with European funding opportunities, develop practical training resources, facilitate the exchange of experience among partner institutions and encourage the transfer of knowledge and good practices across higher education institutions.

The project brings together six partner universities:

• Nantes Université, France Project Coordinator
• Linnaeus University, Sweden
• University of Murcia, Spain
• University of Crete, Greece
• Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Ukraine
• University of Tirana, Albania

The Staff Training Week Model is a structured approach to professional development that combines thematic presentations, practical exercises, peer learning and knowledge exchange. It is designed to support university staff in developing competences related to European project funding and management.

Two international Staff Training Weeks were organised during the project:

• Linnaeus University, Kalmar, Sweden — 2–5 June 2025
• University of Murcia, Spain — 20–24 April 2026

These activities provided opportunities for professional development, collaborative learning and the exchange of institutional experiences.

EU-GaNoM developed training resources for project officers covering different stages of the European project lifecycle, including identifying funding opportunities, preparing proposals, understanding evaluation processes, managing grant agreements, implementing projects and completing project activities.

The resources are particularly relevant to research support staff, European project officers, international relations professionals, research administrators and academic staff involved in developing or managing European projects. They may also support institutions seeking to strengthen their internal project management capacities.

The project has produced three main outcomes:

• A Staff Training Week Model supporting structured professional development.
• Training Materials for Project Officers addressing the European project lifecycle.
• Transferable resources and approaches that can be adapted by other higher education institutions.

Yes. EU-GaNoM promotes the wider dissemination and transferability of its results. Higher education institutions beyond the partnership can explore the project's resources and approaches and consider how these may be adapted to their own institutional needs, subject to any applicable conditions of use.

Institutions can use the project's outcomes as a reference for organising staff training activities, developing internal professional development programmes, strengthening project support services and encouraging knowledge sharing among staff involved in European funding and cooperation.

Information about project activities, training initiatives, events and outcomes is available on the official EU-GaNoM website, www.euganom.eu, and through the project's communication channels.

EU-GaNoM contributes to the development of professional competences, the exchange of institutional knowledge and stronger cooperation among European universities. Its long-term value lies in the continued use and adaptation of its training resources, as well as the professional connections established throughout the project.
