@joerimeijsen.bsky.socialI am getting very good at submitting ERC Consolidators and dealing with the EU tender portal, 3th time is the charm... 🤞 If all else fails I have a future as an independent contractor managing and submitting EU subsidies for roundabouts, youth sports events or european cultural heritage sites...
