On the 2nd of October 2015, Anamaria was one of the guest speakers at the SME Week 2015 Info Day on the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme for Research and Innovation and its funding schemes for SMEs and enterprises.
As an independent expert evaluators engaged by the European Commission on a number of its hallmark funding programmes and schemes, Anamaria provided the evaluator’s perspective on such funding opportunities and the various aspects that need to be considered and addressed by SMEs when preparing and applying for such funds. The highly competitive nature of such programmes providing support to the most innovative companies all across the EU and a number of other Associated Countries, requires an very thorough strategic planning and innovation management approach. Objective expert guidance and support is also highly important to ensure that a most robust case is being made for the proposed innovation, go-to-market and commercialisation scale-up strategy.
