EU Project Support
EU-funded projects offer significant opportunities for organizations and individuals looking to achieve research, innovation, and social development goals. However, successfully managing these projects requires not only a good idea but also a strong application, legal compliance, and meticulous management and reporting processes. At Brussels LAC, we provide legal and administrative consulting services at every stage of EU projects, facilitating applicants in achieving their goals.
A successful EU project begins with a robust application process. Brussels LAC analyzes which EU funding program your project idea aligns with, ensures the identification of the correct calls, and, when necessary, contributes to the formation of the consortium structure. We play an active role in the proposal writing process, including defining objectives, developing methodology, creating work packages, and structuring the budget.
The thorough preparation of the application file from both legal and financial perspectives is the most crucial step in obtaining a positive evaluation from the European Commission. At this stage, the services we provide aim not only to complete the applications but also to ensure they are competitive.
Contract Management and Legal Compliance Process
After you are awarded a grant for an EU project, one of the most important steps in the process is contract and consortium management. Brussels LAC conducts a legal review of the grant agreements with the European Commission and, when necessary, handles the negotiations. We ensure that the agreements between consortium partners (Consortium Agreement) are balanced, transparent, and protective of their rights. Additionally, we provide consultancy on the protection of intellectual property rights that may arise within the scope of project outcomes and ensure their fair distribution among partners. This way, the legal responsibilities of all stakeholders involved in the project are clearly defined.
Project Implementation and Operational Management
Once the project begins, one of the key considerations is ensuring that the implementation process fully aligns with EU regulations. Brussels LAC monitors the compliance of project activities with European Union legislation and relevant national laws, providing necessary guidance, particularly in areas such as ethical rules, environmental standards, and data protection. Additionally, we offer support in preparing financial reports, tracking payments, ensuring alignment with the work plan, and managing risks, contributing to the timely and smooth completion of the project. We also provide technical and legal support for the coordination of meetings and the sharing of reports, ensuring sustainable communication among partners.
Training, Monitoring, and Sustainability
Brussels LAC offers not only project implementation support but also a specialized training program aimed at enhancing the knowledge capacity of project teams. This comprehensive program, consisting of eight modules, covers the entire process from EU funding structures and project management tools to financial reporting, quality control, and sustainability. In addition to training, we provide consultancy on monitoring progress during the project, ensuring quality standards, and preparing for mid-term evaluation meetings. For organizations aiming to disseminate project results and create long-term impact, we develop sustainability plans and intellectual property strategies.
