Browsing PPI with Google provides 134 million results in 0.73 second, the top result being the 2017 OECD report, which emphasizes the huge potential and importance of PPI.

But none of them being targeted to the necessary competences for encouraging, motivating, inspiring, supporting, empowering and professionalising the public procurement professionals to look and apply for innovation.

This is exactly the gap that the PPI GO Erasmus+ projects addresses, by identifying the PPI good practices and developing a related training course.

EFCoCert Foundation is part of the project consortium as competence certification expert, evaluators being more and more aware of the crucial importance of adding a recognition and certification dimension in complement to training courses and curricula dedicated to acquire and enhance any set of competences, skills and good practices.

Involving EFCoCert’s unique expertise for developing a recognition and certification system of the acquired competences significantly increases the success rate of the applications (80% success rate on 2021 applications).

Are you preparing a project idea for the next Erasmus+ call?
