Abstract: This paper presents a model for a successful approach to addressing the EU calls. The research results indicated that the application's success in Horizon 2020 is largely influenced by the financial projection, knowledge of EU's policies, proposal design proposal elements - contents, the importance of individual proposal elements process, past experiences, a partner organisation, referrals, and coordinators. We can conclude that for a potential applicant to succeed with the application it is advisable to hire an expert to develop the financial projection if the applicant is not experienced in this. Secondly, it is useful to know the EU policies. Thirdly, when designing the project proposal, one should keep in mind that visual aspect of the proposal is important. Also, past experience in the EU projects is important. Lastly, the most efficient way to find partners is through networking, referrals and the already selected project coordinators, not through partner search portals.
