Brussels, the heart of European decision-making, hosted a diverse group of professionals on 17–18 October 2024 for an intensive training on Financial Administration & Auditing Preparation for EU-Funded Projects. The course brought together participants from Germany, the Netherlands, Ireland, the Republic of Moldova, and Latvia, all representing institutions actively managing or auditing European Commission-funded projects.

A Programme Led by Expertise

Organised and coordinated by Scientific Events on behalf of the European Academy, the training was delivered by seasoned expert Sara Dishkova, a former European Commission auditor. Her sessions provided participants with practical insights into key areas such as EU funding regulations, cost eligibility, financial reporting, and audit preparation.

Interactive exercises and real-world case discussions allowed attendees to connect theory with practice, enhancing their ability to ensure compliance and strengthen financial management within their organisations

Networking and Exchange

Beyond the technical sessions, the event created space for networking and peer-to-peer exchange. Participants from across Europe shared best practices, compared approaches to audit readiness, and gained a broader perspective on the challenges and opportunities in managing EC-funded projects.

Scientific Events’ Role

As the organiser, Scientific Events managed every aspect of the training’s coordination. This included venue arrangements at the Warwick Brussels Hotel, participant services, meals and coffee breaks, and on-site facilitation. By ensuring a smooth and professional environment, Scientific Events enabled participants to focus fully on the expert content and collaborative learning experience.
