<br />
EIF Tool Box was designed as a guidance for national public administrations to equip them with the necessary tools to align their National Interoperability Frameworks (NIFs) with the European Interoperability Framework (EIF), in order to promote interoperability at national and European level.<br />
<br />
In European Academy we have designed and launched a <a href="http://sendy.europeanacademy.com/l/2XW07vXukmvCnCYEEM7OOA/DBkBZaTn8S6UvgoNd5sxeg/Z3KRlSmgb1k7widFreRgIg" target="_blank">unique 2-day training course on the implementation of the PM² Methodology in international collaborative EU funded projects</a>. During this two-day training, the Critical Success Factors (CSFs) of project management will be discussed and participants will understand how PM² addresses them. With the help of workshops and exercises, at the end of the course participants will be in position to start implementing some of the PM² best practices which will increase the quality of their project management.<br />
<br />
The completion of the course entitles participants to pursue the PM² Basic Certification. At the end of the training participants receive the proof of training and a complimentary voucher for the PM² Basic Certification. </span></span></font></font></p>
