Grants In Practice event series
Here, students, researchers and administrators can learn directly from experts and current grantees or alumni:
- What types of grants there are and when are the calls?
- What kind of documents and skills are needed for application?
- How can researchers and institutions benefit?
- How does the evaluation process work?
- How to optimize your proposal, how to find hosts, and how things work once you get the grant!
This event series focuses --for now-- on the Marie Sklodowska Curie Actions (MSCA) Individual Fellowships (IF) and European Research Council (ERC) grants.
