BESTPRAC Training School - How to support successful grant proposals in FP9: from cross-cutting issues to grant writing

BESTPRAC Training school - "How to support successful grant proposals in FP9: from Cross-cutting Issues to Grant Writing"

Given the increasing need for external research funding, the role of research administrators within institutions is more important than ever. Securing science funding cannot happen without efficient processes in place. Scouting opportunities and support to proposal preparation, particularly in grant writing and revision, reinforced by a strong knowledge on EU funding programmes and specifications are key to success, which is what BESTPRAC aim to achieve with this training school.

Date: December 10 - 12, 2018

Location: Lisbon, Portugal

Open to:

Research administrators who work mostly in the pre-award phase, who are familiar with the H2020 proposal preparation procedures, but have limited experience or training in grant writing/grant revision.

Description:

Due to the complex and competitive nature of the current research and innovation ecosystem, the growing diversity of funding sources and the complicated application processes, there is a necessity to support research administrator experts in pre-award, grant writing and grant revision. Research administrators play a key role in supporting both research institutions and individual researchers to access competitive funding and improve success rates, particularly in highly competitive schemes such as the EU Framework Programmes for Research and Innovation.

Application deadline: October 15, 2018.
