Mark AndersonDirector of The Europe Office

LAUNCH OF THE EUROPE OFFICE

What makes us different:

• Proactive support is offered to the academic community whereby calls are matched with appropriate specialisms;

• Support is also offered to non-research projects including regional funding, international collaboration and exchange and mobility projects;

• International collaboration projects are developed and coordinated by TEO itself in order to widen and strengthen international networks in line with international and research strategies and to generate direct income streams to support Office activities.

TEO

1. Align the strategic goals of GCU with the opportunities available through EU engagement

2. Effective promotion of EU programmes and delivery of successful EU funding bids within the University

3. Forge new links and expand networks in Europe and throughout the world

4. Delivery of international projects through The Europe Office that will enhance the University’s international reputation as a global player while widening our networks for future engagement and recruitment

5. Programme of vigilance to mitigate risk in EU project management and compliance

6. Support international exchange and mobility
