We are pleased to highlight its recent collaboration with The Grant, an independent podcast initiative dedicated to exploring the landscape of EU Research & Innovation funding.
In a context where many researchers and practitioners seek to better understand how to develop competitive project proposals, TheGrant addresses a clear gap in the podcast landscape by offering practical, experience-based insights on EU funding schemes. The series explores the full project lifecycle, from the early stages leading to proposal development, through the writing process, and up to the implementation phase once funding is secured.
Given the podcast’s strong alignment with these topics, we engaged in an open and insightful exchange with the host, Niels Tudor, to present its perspective and share hands-on experience gained across multiple areas of EU-funded projects. The conversation covered our role as a consultancy supporting proposal writing activities, as well as its broader expertise in Communication Dissemination & Exploitation within European projects and its work on sustainability assessment.
The discussion proved particularly stimulating, supported by well-targeted questions and an engaging hosting style from Niels, who combined technical depth with a light and approachable tone.
The following ENCO representatives contributed to the series:
- Marco De La Feld – ENCO’s General Manager
- Antonietta Pizza – Head of EU Projects Unit
- Rosanna Buonfiglio – C&D Consultant
- Mirko Busto – Sustainability Manager

We would like to thank The Grant for the collaboration and the opportunity to exchange views on these key topics. We wish you all the best for the continuation of the series and future initiatives.
