The Online Project Office is a digital hub for the development, management and support of projects connecting Slovenia with the countries of the Southern Mediterranean. It represents a central place where economic, innovation and development initiatives are brought together, international consortia are formed, partners are identified and project proposals are prepared for European and domestic financial mechanisms (Interreg, NDICI South, Horizon Europe, Erasmus+, EuropeAid, national calls, regional schemes).
The project office also provides companies with professional support in accessing financial resources - from reviewing current calls for proposals, checking eligibility, finding partners, to preparing project applications that meet all call criteria. It also offers project monitoring , assistance with implementation, reporting, financial tracking and communication with call authorities.
