Are you planning to apply for research grants in the near future? This hands-on workshop will help researchers transform a promising idea into a proposal that aligns with the call, persuades reviewers, and presents a clear plan rather than a collection of good intentions.
To ground the discussion in a concrete example, we will work with material from the call for Clusters of Excellence. The example will be used to illustrate how to interpret scope, priorities and assessment criteria, and how these translate into writing choices in a proposal.
Instead of generic “how to write” advice, we work step by step with the exact elements that often decide the outcome: scope fit, a crisp core idea, a compelling motivation, a realistic work plan and timeline, and the key pieces reviewers look for but applicants often miss (budget logic, management, ethics, state of the art, etc.).
You will also take part in structured peer discussions throughout the session - because if someone else cannot quickly understand your idea and its importance, a reviewer probably will not either.
You will leave the workshop with:
Interactive workshop with short writing exercises, call analysis, and peer feedback.
All researchers.
Limited capacity (approximately 20 participants) to keep the workshop interactive.
