Since the early days of Sparks & Co in 2014, our mission has been to communicate about science in the best and brightest way.

We’ve been working hard and we are now consultants, subcontractors or partners on 8 on-going EU-funded projects! Based on our experience through these projects and the partnerships we had with the different stakeholders in EU projects, we decided to launch our own training courses to share the smartest communication tools for EU projects with you that will give more impact to your Horizon 2020 project(s).
