How to write a winning grant proposal

The key mission of the course is two-fold. First, emphasis will be put on writing a strong abstract to attract reviewers’ attention. It includes individual guidance and feedback on individual abstracts written by the participants. Second, we will learn how to compile an excellent CV (putting your scientific leadership/track record in the picture). In addition, all other aspects of a grant application will be touched upon: objectives, state-of-the-art work packages and methodology are discussed in the light of different evaluation criteria. Finally, we will review some real examples to understand the reviewers mind.

So, starting with limited experience in grant writing, at the end of the course participants should be able to understand basic principles for writing (international) competitive individual proposals based upon criteria for excellence.
