C.4 - Master of Project Management in Horizon Europe and H2020

Master of Project Management in Horizon Europe and H2020 (2 dager) – Nivå 3
Kurset starter med en gjennomgang av hvordan en god konsortieavtale kan være et svært godt verktøy for prosjektleder. Deretter får du en gjennomgang av økonomireglene i Horisont Europa, og de viktigste forskjellene fra Horisont 2020, samt en praktisk øvelse i kostnadsberegning.
Hoveddelen av kurset fokuserer på den løpende rapporteringen, periodisk rapportering og sluttrapportering som skal gjøres i et prosjekt, samt granskningsmøter, og forskjellene fra Horisont 2020 vil bli gjennomgått. Det er også spesielt fokus på IP, utnyttelse av prosjektresultater, innovasjonsledelse, åpen aksess og data management. Kurset avsluttes med en gjennomgang av de forpliktelsene prosjektpartnerne har etter at prosjektet er avsluttet, noe som er viktigere i Horisont Europa enn i tidligere rammeprogram.

Kurset holdes på engelsk, og kursleder er Europa Media. 

Horisont Europa-kursene våre er delt inn i fem overordnede kategorier (A-E) og i tre nivåer (1-3). Les mer om de ulike kursene.
