Challenges & Solutions of European Grants & How to Get Paid as a Grant Writer w/ Geir S. Nilsen
Download MP3I often get emails from people asking about grants in Europe. Although I have worked on international grants before, that is not my forte.
So I was super pleased when Geir Sand Nilsen reached out to me to discuss the challenges and solutions of European grants. This goes for grants for businesses, grant writers, and nonprofits.
In this podcast, Geir and I discuss:
Challenges of EU grants
- Navigation is a mess
- EU is a union with many different languages and cultures so it is difficult to organize a central place for grant research
- It’s a partner’s game. You need intra-country partners for many grants
- Local help. Your country needs to have money to fund the grants
- In the end, it’s about Europe
