Would you like to work with European Projects but don’t know where to start? Or are you looking to strengthen your skills in the field?

Join the new Project Cycle Management Course by ALDA+ Academy – registrations are now open!

This autumn, benefit from more than 30 years of ALDA Academy’s experience in European project design and management through a comprehensive training programme available in both English and Italian.


What to expect

Following the success of previous editions, the course has been further refined based on participants’ feedback to provide an even more practical and effective learning experience.

The course will take place online, twice a week:

  • 6–27 October (English)
  • 3–24 November (Italian)

Across 7 interactive sessions (21 hours), participants will explore the entire Project Cycle Management process: from identifying funding opportunities and designing a strong proposal to budgeting, communication, implementation, and project management.

Using the Logical Framework Approach, the methodology widely adopted for European and international projects, participants will gain practical tools to transform ideas into well-structured, impactful projects.

Combining theory with hands-on exercises, individual assignments and group work, the course is led by experienced professionals in EU funding and project management/design, ensuring participants develop practical skills that can be immediately applied in their professional context.

Whether you are a student, professional, NGO representative, public servant, social or cultural worker, or simply interested in developing expertise in European projects, no previous experience is required.

Take the next step in your professional journey and gain the knowledge, confidence and practical skills to successfully design and manage European projects.
