Involvement in EU-funded projects: recent references

Sigma Orionis is involved in European programmes and projects addressing the ICT area since the early nineties. Company’s senior staff members are often invited by the European Commission to evaluate proposals and review projects, and by ICT leading organisations to guide them through EU-funded programmes, train their project managers, support them in the preparation of project proposals. Furthermore, Sigma Orionis is proud to participate in many FP7 projects as a coordinator or as a partner, and to contribute to the full success of these projects through a wide range of services.
