Euresearch: Writing Skills Workshop

Writing may be elementary, but writing WELL can change your life! This course will focus on how to improve the text you produce, in particular for FP7 funding applications. We are fortunate to have Prof. Otto Kruse (Dr. phil. habil., Dipl.-Psych.) as the main presenter.

The course will be limited to 12 places to assure maximum benefit for the participants. In order for the lessons learnt on the course to be of most use, ALL participants are expected to be either currently applying for FP7 funding or intending to do so within the next 6 months.

Course mission: 
To increase participants success in FP7 by understanding what matters when making proposals and how to write better applications.

Course objectives:
Participants will obtain from this course:
+ Some basic principles of writing
+ Practical experience in proposal writing
+ An understanding of the value of feedback
