Horizon 2020 Developing Winning Proposals - 1 day workshop
The Workshop
Horizon 2020, the EU’s funding programme for research and innovation, was launched at the end of 2013. With a budget of over €70bn for the seven year period to 2020, it represents a significant source of support for research and innovation. Universities, companies large and small, institutes and government bodies can all be funded.
This workshop will explain how to develop a winning proposal for collaborative research projects in the areas of Societal Challenges and Enabling and Industrial Technologies programmes of Horizon 2020.
The workshop is ideal for researchers, research managers and advisors new to the framework programme, who are preparing a proposal and trying to understand what is involved in Horizon 2020. Note: those requiring information on the financial aspects of Horizon 2020 should attend one of our finance workshops.
Each workshop is designed to be interactive, and questions can be asked at any time. To facilitate this, attendance is limited to 24 participants. Our workshops are all given in English
