ENSI's project design

Project work starts with a specific topic and its discussion in the frame of an ENSI meeting. The project idea is communicated in the ENSI network; interested partners are invited to join the development of the proposal. ENSI is coordinating processes and is preparing the application in close collaboration with the project team.

ENSI is supporting a project over its duration with management work and expertise. After the projects closure ENSI is taking over further mainstreaming and dissemination of the outcomes through ENSI’s information channels and events.
