Since 2010 Venice International University and Europelago Foundation have been jointly managing the Euro-Project Training Unit at VIU which provides training in project, financial and operational management of EU-funded projects. 

The Course

It is one of the most authoritative training programs offered in this field in Italy. Hundreds of participants have successfully completed the course over the years, including professionals both in the public sector (local and state authorities, universities, health authorities, and agencies) and from businesses, associations, training companies, social enterprises and also young people who wish to gain additional skills in order to improve their employability.
