Training Course “Marie Curie Actions, with particular reference to Innovative Training Networks (ITN) Calls" (Turin, 11th September 2018)

This course is the first module of a training course divided into two parts, entirely dedicated to the Marie Curie Actions. The first module, scheduled for 11th September 2018, focuses on how to build successful project proposals, while the second one, scheduled for 12th-13th September 2018, is dedicated to project management and financial reporting. It is possible to register for both courses (benefiting from a discounted rate) or to attend only one of the two modules.

This course aims at providing participants with key tools and tips to build successful Marie Curie project proposals. The thorough analysis of the proposal templates for this particular strand of Horizon 2020 will allow participants to acquire the competence needed to complete the administrative, technical and financial sections of the proposals – particularly within the framework of ITN.
Frontal lectures will always be coupled with practical exercises; furthermore, participants will be provided with examples of completed sections of proposal templates, to help them acquire basic notions for successful project elaboration and to equip them with ready-to-use and easy-to-adapt material for designing future H2020 proposals.
