Hop-on Bootcamp for Success

Half-Day Live Course · 17 July 2026

Running consortia often say Hop-on partners “do not fit.” This workshop is designed for both sides — coordinators and Widening newcomers — to build the right partner-fit narrative, workplan integration, and application strategy.

Date: Friday, 17 July 2026
Time: 09:30 – 13:00 CET
Format: Live workshop on Zoom
Price: EUR 350

Why Attend

Most Hop-on applications fail because the partner-fit narrative is too generic.

Coordinators receive weak letters that do not align with the workplan. Widening organisations struggle to demonstrate why they belong inside an existing consortium.

This live 3.5-hour workshop helps both sides build a credible and evaluator-ready Hop-on application:

• Coordinators learn how to structure a partner brief without disrupting delivery

• Widening applicants learn how to position themselves as strategically valuable additions

• Both sides work through integration, budget amendments, reporting changes, and impact logic

You leave with:

• A stronger partner-fit narrative

• Workplan amendment guidance

• A practical budget-reallocation framework

• A clear reporting structure

• Real Hop-on examples analysed line by line

• A free pre-submission evaluation before the September deadline

This is live application work, not a lecture.

Is This For You?

A good fit if you are:

• A coordinator of a running Horizon Europe project considering adding a Widening partner

• A university, research institute, or SME from a Widening country seeking to join an existing consortium

• Ready to bring either:

  • A workplan extract (for coordinators), or

  • A partner profile and positioning draft (for Hop-on applicants)

Not the right fit if:

• You have not yet identified a running consortium or target project

In that case, the introductory webinar is the better starting point to scan open opportunities and assess fit.
