Where Europe’s Next Winning Projects Are Designed
Turn the 2026 Programme Guide into a Winning Project
20+ fundable EU projects designed in 5 days
This is Europe's first Academy focused on integrating the new Adoption and Behaviour Change policy requirements.
Join the AI Project Writing Incubator, created for professionals who want to design serious, fundable projects using a structured methodology and advanced AI support. In just five days, you will move from reading the 2026 Programme Guide to designing a complete, evaluator-ready EU project with clear intervention logic, credible impact pathways, and a proposal structure built to compete successfully in European funding calls.
During this intensive programme, you will learn how to transform the 2026 Programme Guide into a coherent project architecture, guided by the AI mentor Miles and the proven 26-Step WinCode methodology.
You will:
- Work with the advanced AI mentor Miles
- Develop a complete project proposal in 5 days
- Apply the proven 26-Step WinCode methodology
- Design clear intervention logic and strong partner roles
- Write with evaluator-grade clarity
In 2026, Projects Are Not Evaluated by What They Produce — But by What They Change
Successful proposals today must demonstrate real behavioural change and measurable social value.
The MilesUp incubator focuses on designing credible interventions, strong impact pathways, and Social Return on Investment (SROI)—enabling participants to build high-impact proposals that stand out in competitive European funding calls.
MilesUp Goal
Move your project from “producing outputs” to “guaranteeing behaviour change.”
Using forensic project logic, you will design proposals that are coherent, persuasive, and capable of delivering measurable impact.
Who This Incubator Is For
This programme is designed for professionals who want to design projects that truly deserve funding:
- Project managers and coordinators preparing EU proposals
- Researchers and university staff developing international projects
- NGOs and organisations applying for Erasmus+, Horizon, or other EU calls
- Consultants and professional project writers seeking a stronger methodology
- Institutions building internal project development capacity
Day 1–2: Forensic Behaviour Analysis & COM-B Mapping
The 2026 Shift
Why "Outputs" (PDFs/Websites) are no longer enough for high scores in the current EU funding climate.
COM-B Deep Research
Technical mapping of the Capability, Opportunity, and Motivation barriers that prevent your target group from changing.
The Mechanism of Change
Defining the specific intervention "mechanisms" required to break identified barriers before drafting a single objective.
Behaviour Impact Pathway 2.0
Hard-linking these behavioural mechanisms directly to the project’s intervention logic and Work Packages.
MSC (Most Significant Change)
Moving beyond simple metrics to implement qualitative verification of actual behavioural shifts.
SROI (Social Return on Investment)
Forensic analysis to prove the project generates higher social value than the financial investment required.
Life After the Project (The Uptake)
Defining Day 1 ownership—who takes over the results when the funding ends, and what is the technical plan for long-term usage?
The 26-Step Evolution
Applying the updated WinCode methodology—built on 25+ years of Igor’s experience—to design specifically for permanent behavioural change.
Day 3: Advanced Financial Engineering
Data Extraction & Alignment
Converting the outputs from Miles and the 26-Step Template into a financial blueprint. We ensure that every work package from Day 1–2 has a corresponding price tag that makes sense to an evaluator.
Intervention-Linked Budgeting
Moving beyond "flat rates." We link every Euro directly to the behavioural mechanisms identified in your COM-B analysis. This creates a budget that is 100% transparent and logically "unbreakable."
The Financial Narrative
Mastering the art of explaining "Value for Money." We don't just list costs; we describe the investment logic in the project narrative, proving that the cost is necessary to achieve the specific behaviour change.
Operational Allocation (Erasmus+ & Horizon Standards)
- LTTs & Mobilities: Strategic placement of learning activities to ensure they trigger the “Capability” shift in your target group.
- Multiplier Events & Transnational Meetings: How to budget these as strategic “Uptake” milestones rather than just travel costs.
- Cofinancing Logic: Managing the reality of institutional investment to show evaluators that your partnership is “skin in the game” committed.
Day 4: Narrative Psychology & The "Uptake" Strategy
Preparation
What do you need before you start writing an application’s narrative?
Writing for the Evaluator
Using clear, no-fluff language to explain complex behavioural change.
Policy-Referenced Writing
Aligning your behavioural outcomes with specific EU priorities.
Signalling Theory
For persuasive and detailed answers.
Day 5: The Final Success Audit & "Gold Seal" Validation
The Zero-Error Finish
Ensuring that your terminology (indicators, results, and outcomes) is identical and consistent.
Partner’s Description Alignment
Verifying that your partners aren't just names on a page, but essential "owners" of the behavioural change.
The “Unbreakable” Simulation
Using Miles to simulate a critical evaluator review to find and fix any remaining logic gaps.
Polishing Cycles
Improvements to a "Gold Seal" proposal that is technically perfect, logically synchronised, and ready for elite-level EU funding.
