How to write an (international) competitive proposal

For whom?

Interested research and support staff who will submit a research proposal for funding, within the next 12 months.

The training is directed at the “junior researchers” i.e. PhD candidates in their final year, up to assistant and associate professors (UD/UHD), with only little experience in applying for funding.

As a follow up to this ‘general’ training, we organise several specialized training sessions, aiming at particular instruments (like ERC or VIDI).
