How to produce a winning proposal for Horizon 2020

The build-up has taken years, but now Horizon 2020 finally gets going. Much will remain familiar, but Horizon 2020 will evolve to have a rather different character to the Seventh Framework Programme. It has a strong focus on supporting innovation and societal challenges. There are new opportunities, but there will be a lot of competition.
The goal of this workshop is to provide a practical training on how to approach the preparation of a proposal effectively, particularly focussing on collaborative projects.

The workshop will provide a short ‘users guide’ to Horizon 2020. We will discuss the evaluation process and what the increased focus on innovation means for the design of projects. We will look at how to develop a proposal efficiently and position it to have the best chances of winning!

Topics covered:

The workshop will cover in a compact, but nevertheless practical form the background knowledge needed to prepare a good proposal and to acquire research funding. The goal is to provide participants with a good understanding of:

- An overview of the project forms Horizon 2020 will support
- what information, documents are essential and helpful
- how to organise the proposal preparation to make the process efficient
- how to build a strong consortium
- how to produce a convincing case, particularly on impact
- submission and follow up

The workshop is designed for anyone intending to participate in the first calls, but may also be useful for funding advisors who need to know about the practical side to proposal preparation.
