Cultura Impact Lab Joins the Torino Social Impact European Funding Expert Roster

Cultura Impact Lab is proud to announce its inclusion in the Roster of European Project Designers (Europrogettisti) of the Hub Progetti Europei per l’Economia Sociale, an initiative of Torino Social Impact developed in co-design with Weco Impresa Sociale, with the support of the Camera di Commercio di Torino and Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo.

What is Torino Social Impact?

Torino Social Impact is a wide ecosystem of organisations, institutions and professionals working towards sustainable and inclusive economic development in the Turin metropolitan area. It brings together over 100 partners — third sector organisations, social enterprises, universities, public institutions and impact-driven businesses — united by a shared commitment to social innovation and European collaboration. Its European Projects Hub, launched in 2023, serves as the reference point for social economy actors seeking to access European funding.

What is the Europrogettisti Roster?

The Roster is a curated community of 63 experienced professionals in European project design, active across key programmes including Erasmus+, Horizon Europe, CERV and Creative Europe. It is not a traditional consultancy service — it is a peer learning network where designers and organisations work side by side, building lasting internal capacity rather than dependency. The goal is to help social economy organisations not just submit a proposal, but develop the skills and confidence to engage with European funding independently over time.

Free Support for Organisations in Piemonte — From the Heart of Europe

Based in Brussels — at the very heart of European institutions — Cultura Impact Lab is uniquely positioned to support organisations in Piemonte taking their first steps into the world of European funding. Direct proximity to EU decision-making bodies, programmes and networks translates into practical, up-to-date knowledge that makes a real difference when designing and presenting a competitive proposal.

Thanks to regional funding, organisations based in Piemonte and part of the Torino Social Impact ecosystem can now access free coaching and support from Cultura Impact Lab and senior consultant Davide Gianluca Vaccaro. The service covers the full arc of European project development — from idea shaping and programme identification, to proposal writing, presentation and submission strategy.

Coaching sessions are available in the candidate’s preferred language, ensuring that every organisation can engage fully and confidently with the process, regardless of their linguistic background.

This is a concrete opportunity for third sector organisations, social enterprises and cultural actors in the region to strengthen their European dimension — with a partner who sits at the centre of it.
