How to write a competitive Horizon Europe Proposal - Advanced Level

How to write a competitive Horizon Europe Proposal - Advanced Level

21 November 2024 | 09:00 - 17:00

About the event

Our one-day workshop is designed for proposal writers targeting Horizon Europe who work for Luxembourgish entities and who developed already a prior experience in writing research proposals or have been involved in research projects

The primary focus will be on the Impact section of the proposal template of Horizon Europe. Specific attention will be given to relevance, and alignment with the programme's expectations and the evaluation process. The workshop will cover only Research and Innovation Actions (RIA) and Innovation Actions (IA), excluding CSA, ERC, MSCA, and EIC proposals. 

Objectives: 
  • Equip participants with techniques for writing a strong Impact section that aligns with Horizon Europe’s strategic goals. 
  • Provide practical insights and feedback to enhance the chances of proposal success. 
  • Facilitate peer exchanges to foster collaboration and learning. 

Target audience: 
  • Participants should have prior experience with Horizon Europe proposal submissions (successful or not) and/or project involvement. 
  • A solid understanding of the Horizon Europe proposal template is required. 
  • Participants should intend to submit a proposal within the next year. 
  • Priority will be given to those who did not attend the previous proposal writing workshop for advanced proposers. 

As places are limited, we ask participants to respect the organisational team by notifying us in advance if they are unable to attend, so their spot may be offered to someone on the waiting list.
