Back to original languageAbout Ana Maria
I am an expert consultant in European funding with more than 15 years of experience writing, coordinating and evaluating projects for Erasmus+, Horizon Europe and Creative Europe. I help cultural, educational and social organizations transform their ideas into winning proposals, with a focus on real impact, methodological innovation and sustainability.
My added value is in combining strategic thinking, active participation and creative tools such as autobiographical theater and digital storytelling. I have led funded proposals on topics such as inclusion, youth mental health, green transition and digital transformation.
I work both as a consortium coordinator and as a facilitator of participatory processes, and I have evaluated projects as an external expert for national agencies. I get deeply involved in each phase: from writing to implementation and final reports.
Regular clients: universities, NGOs, SMEs, municipalities and European networks.
Working languages: Spanish, Italian and English.
