<p style="margin: 0px 0px 0.14in; padding: 0px; text-align: left; text-size-adjust: 100%;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">As Horizon Europe rolls in, we notice more and more programmes to either require or recommend the implementation of PM<font size="2"><sup>2</sup></font>, the European Commission's Project Management Methodology.
</font></p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 0.14in; padding: 0px; text-align: left; text-size-adjust: 100%;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Given that the E.C. is further simplifying and streamlining the management system (i.e., the financial regulation) for the new Programming Period, the monitoring requirements become more demanding and with the recent inclusion of the PM<font size="2"><sup>2</sup></font> to European Interoperability Framework's Tool Box, the Methodology is becoming an irreplaceable asset for those dealing with European Projects.</font></p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 0.14in; padding: 0px; text-align: left; text-size-adjust: 100%;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Therefore, in European Academy we have developed and launched a
<a href="https://www.europeanacademy.com/management-and-coordination-of-ec-funded-projects-the-pm2-methodology/?utm_source=2021-mailer&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=may-campaign">unique 2-days training course on the implementation of the
PM<font size="2"><sup>2</sup></font> Methodology in international collaborative EU funded projects</a>. The course has been designed to equip participants with all the necessary knowledge, skills and reference sources to help them understand, tailor and effectively use the PM<font size="2"><sup>2</sup></font> Methodology for the coordination of multi-party project work, but also for the effective reporting and smooth communication with the Project Officers of the European Commission. </font></p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 0.14in; padding: 0px; text-align: left; text-size-adjust: 100%;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">
The completion of the course entitles participants to pursue the PM<font size="2"><sup>2</sup></font> Basic Certification. At the end of the training participants receive
the proof of training and a complimentary voucher for the PM<font size="2"><sup>2</sup></font> Basic Certification.
