Earlier this month, Stefanos Kokkorikos, CORE Group Co-Founder & Managing Partner, was invited to participate at the 8th edition of the Mediterranean Forum, Circle the Med. It was an event full of workshop activities and insightful panel speeches on how EU funding opportunities can drive positive change for the countries of the Mediterranean.
Circle the MED aims to bring together policymakers, political and business leaders, experts and key stakeholders to engage in an interactive dialogue on the urgent need to accelerate the green transition towards climate neutrality and resilience in the Mediterranean.
Panel discussion with Stefanos Kokkorikos
CORE Group co-organized the session on EU Grants Networking Workshop: Building Consortia for a Resilient, Green, and Inclusive Mediterranean, moderated by our partners from JOIST Innovation Park.
The first part of the session comprised a panel discussion on securing EU funding. Stefanos took the stage to introduce CORE Group and the CORE Innovation Centre to forum participants and answered burning questions from the audience on how organisations can profit from funding opportunities at all levels.

Proposal writing workshop
The panel was followed by a proposal writing workshop, where participants where brought together in separate groups to discuss funding opportunities and set out to plan the drafting process.
It was a highly intriguing session, helping us build collaborative networks and introduce CORE Group and the work we do to potential partners in the Mediterranean region through actionable channels.
