So… you think EU project evaluations are fair?
Let’s be honest: most great project ideas never get funded.
Not because they lack innovation.
But because the proposal isn’t written for the only audience that matters at submission: the evaluator.
In the Season 3, episode 9 premiere of InnovEU – The EU Project Chronicles, we dive deep into:
✅ The real-life pain of bad evaluations — and why they keep happening
✅ The hidden logic behind the evaluator's scoring mindset
✅ A powerful AI tool that helps you write proposals that actually get funded
I mention in the episode the excellent video pitch Luis-Fernando published for his EUROPEA.RED. Check it out, it’s a great example of a pitch, it’s an excelent explanation of what EUROPEA.RED can do for your project. You can also check their brochure.
We also a hot new opportunity for EU funding:
🔍 ERASMUS-EDU-2025-PI-FORWARD-DIGITAL-AI — a call that can shape the future of education and AI in Europe.
