What this call funds
This call funds a support facility that helps research institutions in less research-intensive EU countries (Widening countries) build up their research management skills and systems. It pays for needs assessments, training, peer exchange, and networking for research managers, but not for actually implementing the resulting reforms. The goal is stronger institutional capacity to compete for and manage research funding.
