Horizon 2020 Proposal Development - Focus Impact

How to turn your innovative ideas into winning concepts and put together competitive proposals in response to the Horizon 2020 calls, this time with special emphasis on how to write best the impact section.
We are sharing our direct experience with successful and unsuccessful proposals under the 2014-2016 calls and providing tips and recommendations on how to write best the Impact section and put together all issues that lead you to be able to achieve that impact.

Factors determining your impact: start with a winning team – turn your idea into innovation – position it properly – define convincing KPIs – assess barriers and risks adequately – communicate/disseminate/exploit always with supporting your final goal.

- Are you ready to submit a competitive project proposal under Horizon 2020?

Join Europa Media’s Horizon 2020 Proposal Development – Focus: Impact training course and obtain hands-on knowledge and the necessary skills to submit competitive project proposals under the EU's research and innovation programme Horizon 2020.

-Why participate in the "Horizon 2020 Proposal Development – Focus: Impact" course?

The key findings of H2020 Interim Evaluation - Monitoring Report concluded:
“There remains an innovation gap. EU lags behind in breakthrough, market-creating innovation
Low involvement of civil society but improving from FP7: room for improvement in bringing research closer to the general public”

Two key findings that your project may change – that the evaluators will be looking for and find positive - if the Impact is well-defined. Several calls for proposals are now open with deadlines in spring/summer, and many forthcoming topics and draft 2018-2020 Work Programmes are in the pipeline. Bring your project ideas and calls to the training, we will discuss your concept with you and you may even find your excellent future partners with our help, maybe amongst the training participants.

This 2-day course will provide you with an insight into Horizon 2020 with a focus on Impact and the necessary practical skills to develop competitive proposals.

1. Trainers are actual Project Managers and Coordinators

This course is built on our direct experience gained over the past 17 years from developing and submitting proposals and implementing projects under the EU's Research Framework Programmes. The trainers of Europa Media are actual project managers, coordinators and financial administrators of EU-funded research and innovation projects. They are currently involved in more than 10 successful ongoing Horizon 2020 projects as project coordinator, work package or task leader, and are on a daily basis conceiving and developing their own project proposals under the open and forthcoming H2020 calls. This course is designed based on this direct experience and is therefore 100% practice-driven.

2. Lectures and Workshops on proposal development

Experience Europa Media's well-known "learning-by-doing" approach – hear presentations introducing the rules of the game with examples, then practice your newly-gained knowledge during the practical and interactive workshops.
