Description of the project

The goal of the project is to increase knowledge, competences, and improve collaboration between the project associates in the 5xPRO Consortium, including NGOs, researchers, and key stakeholders. The main objectives of the project are to increase the quality of proposals submitted to the Horizon Europe program by 2% compared to Horizon 2020; to increase the number of project proposals submitted to centralized EU calls for proposals; to strengthen the competencies of staff at public research organizations through the organization of professional events; and to establish a new project office at the Institute of Contemporary History. 

The key added value of the project lies in the creation of 9 new jobs in the project offices of the JRO consortium, which will significantly contribute to strengthening the personnel capacity of the research support environment and establish a sustainable framework for the further development of public research institutes within the competitive European Research Area. The 5xPRO project pursues the key objectives and measures of the Resolution on Slovenia’s Science, Research, and Innovation Strategy 2030, as it emphasizes the broader significance of scientific research and innovation activities for society and, through the project, strengthens the interdisciplinary and transnational nature of the research community. Strengthening the support environment for all five research organizations in the consortium will proactively contribute to better integration of Slovenian research organizations into the international research area.
