Online workshop: Who’s afraid of EU funding? An introduction to EU research funding

FORTHEM Academy for Early Stage Researchers: How to understand EU calls and prepare a competitive proposal

European funding programmes are notoriously diverse. They are politically driven, many follow a top-down approach, and the field is difficult to grasp. But fear not!

This two-and-a-half-hour workshop will give you an overview of European funding programmes and their political background. We will focus on the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation, Horizon Europe, but will also look at smaller funding lines to give you a better chance of identifying an appropriate programme for you project idea. You will learn how to read calls for proposals, and will get some basic tips on how to prepare a competitive proposal.
