“What is really amazing with OpenCosmos is that made me believe in myself and become successful in highly competitive research programmes such as Horizon Europe. I was so afraid to explore Horizon Europe before OpenCosmos support.”

Funding Expert Academy (Tool of Key Innovations Cyprus Ltd)

“The training was extremely well-structured, with highly useful content at both a theoretical and a practical level. I particularly appreciated the focus on the real-world applications of Responsible AI in Horizon Europe projects and the best practice examples that were presented. The instructor, Mr. Nikos Floratos, was exceptionally knowledgeable, eager to answer all questions, and fostered an open and interactive atmosphere. Additionally, the networking with other participants enabled me to exchange ideas and experiences with professionals in the field and to establish new collaborations. I would highly recommend this training to anyone interested in expanding their knowledge and strengthening their preparation for success in Horizon Europe projects.”
