Workshops and seminars on funding

Do you need guidance prior to writing your research application? For several funding organisations, there are regular information sessions where you can receive practical tips, an overview of this year’s calls and requirements, and the opportunity to ask questions directly to experts.


The following seminars are organised annually at the time of the call opening. Check the calendar regularly for updates!
