Breve descrizione

• Teach the basic skills of Grant Writing
• Provide an overview of the European projects landscape (Horizon Europe in particular)
• Introduce basic strategies and tools to search for forthcoming calls (e.g. EU Funding&Tender portal)
The course is preceded by a lesson in which some aspects of contemporary science will be illustrated and discussed, from excessive competition for re-search funds and academic positions, to the constant growth of publications, from the uncritical use of bibliometric indexes to ethically questionable behavior.
After the course, the candidates will be able to approach a project proposal according to the standard sections required by most of the proposal templates, in particular:
• Objectives
• Methodology including transversal aspects
• Workplan including Work Packages, Tasks, Deliverables, Milestones
• Impact
• Communication, Dissemination, Exploitation
• Project Management
Target audience
Ph.D students (preferably 3rd year, not binding)
Numero massimo di partecipanti
Min 10
Max 45
