The training session has a duration of around 2,5 hours and our expert will master you with some techniques in identifying potential proposal initiators in Horizon Europe (but also in other European funding programmes) and convince them to join their consortia.
Irrespectively of your expertise, network and involvement in European Research, it is a great asset to know who is initiating a proposal in European Research and Innovation Funding Programme, i.e Horizon Europe and how to convince them to invite you to their consortia. This is a skill that you can build on without the need to have an extensive network in European Research.
