OUR COMPANY

EProjectConsult – Istituto Europeo Formazione e Ricerca is a forward-thinking NGO based in Italy, founded in 2013. Each year, we host over 1000 participants from across Europe for practical traineeships and training courses, tailored to the evolving needs of the Erasmus+ program.

Our team is young, diverse, and driven by a shared passion for innovation, self-improvement, and cultural learning. We believe people are at the heart of what makes our programs successful—and it’s this multicultural energy that makes us a trusted name in EU mobility projects.

Thanks to our extensive network of regional and international partners, we ensure every participant receives continuous guidance and support throughout their training experience. Our goal is to create high-impact, enriching programs that leave a lasting impression and empower individuals to shape their own future.
