All those funding programmes, and none of them quite fit your project, dammit!
Well, perhaps you can shoehorn whatever it is you want to do into somebody else’s funding instrument
Or perhaps you can go along and talk before the rules are made? How much more effective and subtle to intervene at strategy level, rather than wait until all the parameters have solidified.
This certainly is a possibility at regional and (sometimes) at EU level. So go and network to become part of the decision making and influencing process in the first place, rather than wait to be a supplicant at the table later down the line.
