On 11 June 2018, the Executive Agency for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (EASME) of the European Commission hosted its first COSME Info Day, a pilot event aimed at highlighting opportunities to participate in the European COSME programme's Calls for Proposals, with the goal of encouraging new applicants and potential beneficiaries to register for information on the opportunities available.

The event programme also included practical examples of projects funded by COSME, with testimonials provided by beneficiaries. Both EU experts and the proposal evaluation committee shared their insights and advice with participants, and EASME staff presented the wide range of support services available to registrants.

The event agenda provides a comprehensive overview of the following topics:

• How to prepare a proposal
• Key financial aspects
• Available support services
• Sources of information
• Future calls for proposals
