Distinctive phrases
Which phrases belong to one type of action, rather than to the programme as a whole.
- youth worker
- multiplier event

Write your proposal in the language that gets funded.
Projam reads more than 400,000 funded Erasmus+ and Horizon Europe projects and shows your team which phrases each programme expects, how they are used and how they change. Then it brings the whole proposal into one workspace, from the first idea to the moment you press Enter on the portal.

A proposal is judged on its idea, and on its language.
Evaluators expect a good idea to be told in the programme’s own terms: capacity building, multiplier events, sustainability of results. That vocabulary is not written down in any guide. Teams pick it up from consultants, or from rejected applications.
It is written down in one place: the summaries, objectives and results of every project the EU has funded and published. Projam gathers those texts into one corpus and makes the language measurable.
