What If the Real Problem Isn’t Funding, But Fragmentation?
In European cooperation, we spend a lot of time talking about funding. New calls. New programmes. New opportunities. And, of course, funding matters. Without it, many valuable initiatives would never get started. But recently, at L’ORMAinternational, we’ve been asking ourselves a different question. What if one of the biggest challenges in international cooperation isn’t the […]
EUSport LAB 2026: Beyond Projects. Building Alliances.
What if a European event was not only a place to talk about projects, but a place to start building what comes next? This is the idea behind the 6th edition of EUSport LAB, taking place in Milan on 3–4 December 2026. Over two days, around 80 professionals and organisations from across Europe will come […]
Strategic Alliances Beyond Projects | L’ORMAinternational
In European cooperation, we tend to follow a very familiar sequence. A funding opportunity appears. An idea starts taking shape. Potential partners are identified. A consortium is built. The proposal is submitted. And, if everything goes well, a project begins. There is nothing wrong with this process. It is how thousands of valuable European projects […]
Registrations are now open for EUSport LAB 2026
Beyond Projects. Building Alliances for Long-term Impact. Every European project begins with an idea. Over time, that idea becomes a partnership, a shared journey, new methodologies, new experiences and new relationships. But once the project officially comes to an end, an important question remains: What happens next? At L’ORMAinternational, we believe that the greatest value […]
Building Strong Partnerships Before the Call Opens | L’ORMAinternational
Every time a new European funding call is published, something very predictable happens. Organisations open old spreadsheets. They scroll through previous consortia. They send emails to organisations they haven’t spoken to for months. “Are you interested?” “Do you have capacity?” “Would you like to join?” Within a few days, dozens of conversations suddenly come back […]
We’re Realising We’ve Been Asking the Wrong Question About Partnerships
A few days ago, our team at L’ORMAinternational was reviewing a new funding opportunity. Like many organisations do, we started discussing potential partners. Who has experience in this field? Who could add real value? Who might already be working on something similar? Who should we contact first? It was a completely normal conversation. In fact, […]
Why International Partnerships Often Feel Like Starting From Zero
Many organisations active in international partnerships know this feeling. A new opportunity appears. A conversation starts. Potential partners are contacted. Roles are explored. Alignment begins. And despite previous experience, the process can feel surprisingly familiar. Almost like starting from zero. New conversations. New explanations. New trust to build. This raises an interesting question: Should international […]
