EU partnerships: organisational costs and benefits

Hosted by ESSCA School of Management, France

EU partnerships are an important funding source for many think tanks. But meeting the strict reporting and administrative requirements can be challenging for some. This roundtable discusses the organisational costs and benefits of EU partnerships. What strategies are think tanks using to reconcile existing operational practices with EU requirements? How are think tanks recruiting and training staff to meet standards? How do think tanks balance their organisational needs and priorities with those of the partnership?
