A new milestone for the European Projects HUB for Social Economy of Torino Social Impact, co-designed with Weco Impresa Sociale and supported by the Torino Chamber of Commerce and the Compagnia di San Paolo Foundation.
The roster of EU project designers has officially been launched — a true community of professionals with expertise in European project design, dedicated to supporting social economy organizations in accessing EU funding opportunities.
A network of expertise for the social economy
The roster brings together 63 professionals with experience in major EU programmes — including Erasmus+, Horizon Europe, and CERV — active across key areas of the social economy. Among them, 16 professionals belong to organizations within the TSI ecosystem.
Beyond serving as an operational tool to guide organizations in preparing European proposals, the roster is conceived as a space for connection and exchange — where project designers and TSI ecosystem actors can meet, collaborate, and co-create new opportunities for social impact.
A concrete and multi-functional support system
This network of experts represents a valuable resource for the entire TSI ecosystem.
It will not only provide hands-on support in drafting project proposals but will also contribute strategically to the development of the HUB and to strengthening local skills in EU project design.
The support approach is based on peer learning, fostering mutual exchange between designer and organization.
Rather than offering an “off-the-shelf” consultancy, it promotes a shared learning process aimed at:
-
transforming an idea into a project consistent with EU programmes dedicated to the social economy;
-
adapting the languages, formats, and logic of EU project design to each organization’s specific needs;
-
developing internal capacities to make TSI partners more autonomous and better equipped to apply for future EU calls.
Why a roster of EU project designers
The creation of the roster stems from the desire to:
-
attract and enhance EU project design skills across the territory;
-
build a stable support network for social economy organizations;
-
encourage knowledge exchange and best practice sharing among professionals with different levels of experience;
-
integrate expertise and testimonies into the HUB’s training and capacity-building activities.
In this way, the roster becomes a strategic building block in strengthening and expanding the social economy ecosystem in Turin and across Europe.
An open call for new members
The roster is a living and evolving tool: the call for new applications remains open year-round, and each submission is reviewed upon receipt.
Professionals and organizations with proven experience in EU project design can apply via this link to join the community.
The roster is valid for two years and is periodically updated to ensure the continuous renewal of the skills and expertise involved.
