eCourse based on live recordings on how to have success with Social Science and Humanities in Horizon Europe  

 Learning Objectives and structure 

Based on around 100 slides we aim along with the live recordings to transform you into a confident proposal applicant in social sciences and humanities in Horizon Europe. 

This course is ideal for researchers in social sciences understanding the whole Horizon Europe spectrum and especially pillar 2 with special focus on Cluster 2 that is highly related to Social Sciences and how to exploit it successfully. The main purpose is to motivate and mobilise researchers in social sciences to get involved successfully in Horizon Europe collaborative projects as partners first and then as coordinators. Also, attention will be given on enhancing the profile of researchers from the social science and how they could be involved as partners in any collaborative proposal even in calls that social science is not the main focus (i.e. outside Cluster 2). The participants will master the intelligence behind related Horizon Europe calls and how to exploit them to their advance and also to understand the full proposal development cycle of a winning proposal as well as how to impress the evaluators with general techniques.

This training is based on the following modules:
