The Call for Interest is now open for inclusion in a roster of EU project designers supporting the HUB for European Projects in the Social Economy. The initiative is promoted by Torino Social Impact, co-designed with Weco Impresa Sociale, and supported by the Turin Chamber of Commerce and the Compagnia di San Paolo Foundation.
The Call is addressed to professionals and entities with expertise in EU project design, with the aim of creating a reference list for all HUB-promoted activities, putting local expertise at the service of social economy organizations interested in accessing European funding.
The deadline for submitting applications is 31 August 2025.
Why a roster of EU project designers
The activation of the roster arises from the desire to:
-
collect qualified experiences and enhance territorial expertise in EU project design
-
build a network of EU project designers supporting ecosystem organizations
-
promote the exchange of skills among individuals with different levels of experience
-
collect best practices and testimonials to be integrated into the HUB’s training programmes
Role and activities of the project designers included in the roster
EU project designers included in the roster may be involved in various activities:
-
support and guidance in drafting EU project proposals, from call analysis to partnership building
-
sharing of experiences and good practices in workshops and training sessions
-
facilitation of peer learning among ecosystem entities
-
support in building European partnerships through scouting and networking
-
strategic contribution to the HUB’s evolution through feedback and suggestions on tools and methodologies
Who can apply
The roster will consist of two types of applicants:
-
individual EU project designers with experience in EU project design
-
entities within the TSI ecosystem that can offer services through internal experts
For project support activities, TSI ecosystem organizations will be able to autonomously select, from the published profiles, the individuals or entities most suited to their needs. Prior to each collaboration, the HUB will organize a preliminary meeting to ensure proper alignment between the organization’s needs and the designer’s skills.
The collaborations will be activated through direct agreements between the designer/entity and the beneficiary organization, defining working methods, timelines, and tools. The compensation for support activities is €400 gross per day (8 hours), with an average workload of 15 to 25 hours per project.
Selection criteria
To apply, it is necessary to complete an online form providing:
-
information about the applicant’s profile and experience in EU project design
-
number and type of projects written, awarded and/or coordinated
-
experience with European programmes (e.g. Erasmus+, Horizon Europe, Interreg, CERV)
-
training or dissemination activities carried out
-
motivation for applying
A short descriptive text of the applicant’s profile will also be required. If selected, this will be published in the official list on the Torino Social Impact website to facilitate matching with interested organizations.
Inclusion in the roster does not imply automatic engagement, but represents a concrete opportunity for activation on a project basis, depending on the needs of the HUB and involved organizations.
