Funding for your next stage! Writing successful grant proposals for your research career

Through practical exercises in developing third-party funded projects, peer feedback on short proposals and information on the funding landscape, participants will gain important knowledge and key skills for writing successful funding proposals.

The core of the workshop is that participants will develop a mini-proposal during the two-day workshop for which they provide feedback to each other as reviewers.

In the workshop, the participants take on the position of both applicants and reviewers and, through this change of perspective, are able to gain a thorough understanding of what makes a good proposal.

The practical exercises are accompanied by an introductory overview of the topic of third-party funding in the postdoc phase. After this workshop, participants will have gained important knowledge and developed key skills for their (first) own proposal.

The seminar is aimed at young researchers from all disciplines who either are in the late phase of their doctorate or have already completed their doctorate.

Important note: Please reserve at least 2-3h in the afternoon or evening of the first workshop day! You will mandatorily need this time to write a grant application in order to be able to participate in the second day of the workshop.
