Horizon 2020 Proposal Writing: A hands-on approach

Are you preparing a proposal to submit under the upcoming deadlines of Horizon 2020?

This webinar will provide you hands-on tips to make your proposal more competitive and boost its chances to get funded.

Date: 5 May
Time: 14:00 CEST
Duration: 90+30 min

We have 20 years of experience in writing proposals and implementing projects under the EU’s Research and Innovation Framework Programmes. Under Horizon 2020, we have been involved – both as partners and coordinators – in dozens of proposals and have gathered a critical mass of best practices building on successful as well as unsuccessful proposals. During this webinar, we will share with you real proposal examples and case studies to help you improve your proposal and avoid mistakes.

Topics covered:

Understand the common features of successful Horizon 2020 proposals
Learn about the typical shortcomings leading to lower scores in evaluation
Design your proposal to be easily comprehendible and digestible by the evaluators
Learn how to compose text when you run out of ideas
Get an insight to the evaluation process: how the evaluators think and how to satisfy the expectations of different types of evaluators
At the end of the webinar, you will be able to see your proposal from a different perspective and will have new ideas to introduce in your proposal to increase its chances to get funded.
