Trainings for the researchers of the University

The training provides researchers with practical knowledge on how to find consortium partners. Topics include: how brokerage events work, how to prepare a profile that evokes the attention of the relevant target groups and how to start cold-call conversations about your research idea.

The training assists potential Horizon Europe applicants in finding partners for Horizon Europe calls. Should the researchers plan to take the role of a Partner or a Coordinator, they have to be able to represent their proposed research idea, relevant skills and references in a succinct, convincing manner and substantiate their expertise – often in a very strict and narrow timeframe.

The training shows researchers the internal dynamics of the international research consortium and helps them articulating and representing their interests in the proposal writing process regarding positions, tasks, budget and IPR negotiations.

The training equips researchers with a sound knowledge of the two most important documents of the Horizon Europe projects, both of which are crucial for the project implementation and consortium dynamics. The training helps the participants in understanding and also in negotiating these agreements.

The training provides insight to widely used dissemination, communication and exploitation techniques applied by EU projects. As Horizon Europe lays increased emphasis on CDE activities, the training will give a concise overview of the requirements of the European Commission.
