What is a multiplier?
• Individuals or Organisations able to help other organisations or
persons in their own country on the writing of successful
proposals for the EU Frameworks. The focus is on proposals in
the field of Information Society Technology (IST)”.
• Can be: SME’s academic institutes, private/public consultants
• Should have vested interest and will volunteer their staff’s
time in exchange for the valuable hands-on knowledge they
will gain from their mentors
