Every year, the EARMA conference is a highlight for our team at ERINN Innovation, and 2025 promises to be even bigger as it transforms into the INORMS Congress in Madrid. We’ve been attending for years – Oslo in 2022, Prague in 2023, and Odense in 2024 – each time gaining new insights, meeting fantastic people, and, of course, dancing in the legendary gala dinner conga line!
This year, we’re thrilled to be heading back, and we’re getting ready to engage with research managers and administrators from around the world. The conference theme, “A Sustainable Profession in a Sustainable World,” resonates deeply with us, as we continue to support impactful, well-structured Horizon Europe proposals that contribute to a better future. We love being part of this vibrant community and sharing our knowledge to help coordinators and research managers navigate the complexities of EU funding.
A Workshop to Deepen Impact-Driven Proposal Design
One of the things we love most about EARMA or (INORMS) this year is the opportunity to share what we’ve learned through years of hands-on experience. In 2024, ERINN Innovation co-founder Michael Papapetrou hosted a workshop on Co-creating Impact Pathways that was incredibly well received, and we’re building on that success with our 2025 pre-congress workshop: Impact-Driven Proposal Design for Horizon Europe.
Our workshop is designed for research managers supporting coordinators in preparing Horizon Europe proposals. We’ll cover everything from aligning project design with impact-driven goals to forming the right consortium and crafting compelling impact pathways.
It’s interactive, practical, and designed to leave attendees with clear, actionable strategies they can implement immediately. We always appreciate the engagement and insightful discussions that come out of these sessions – it’s what makes this conference so special!
Visit Our Booth and Join Our Pop-In Proposal Clinic
The exhibition hall is always a hub of activity, and we love welcoming attendees to our booth. This year, we’re adding something new – a Pop-In Proposal Clinic! If you have a burning question about a Horizon Europe proposal, need some quick advice, or want to talk through a challenge, you can book a slot with us via the Brella app or simply drop by on the day. Whether you’re fine-tuning impact pathways, wondering about consortium composition, or need insights on structuring a winning bid, we’re here to help.
Looking Forward to Madrid… and Some Sunshine!
As an Irish-based team, we can’t deny that we’re also looking forward to swapping the drizzle for Madrid’s sunshine. The city’s rich history, culture, and energy make it an exciting destination for this year’s congress. And, of course, the social side of the event is just as memorable as the professional discussions – the gala dinner is always a highlight, and we can’t wait to see if this year’s dance moves live up to previous years!
If you’re attending INORMS 2025, we’d love to connect. Whether it’s at our workshop, at the booth, or over a coffee, come say hello. Let’s talk proposals, impact, and making the most of Horizon Europe – while also taking a moment to enjoy everything that makes this conference such a fantastic event.
See you in Madrid!
