Things we’ve learnt
● No one is too small to participate in FP projects
● Having only a good idea is not enough – it must be innovative in the world.. not only in Malta or in Europe
● Reporting is a beaurocratic nightmare – we have a team of people who do only that!
● Investment is a must – this is not a get rich quick scheme
● We enjoy working in European projects!! It’s a breadht of fresh air from the otherwise mundane work
Thanks for your attention
