Description of the workshop:  EGT-TWINN Workshop on EU funding possibilities for Geosciences and Proposal Writing
In this workshop we will dive into different aspects of preparing a funding proposal for Horizon Europe, EU's framework programme for research and innovation. We will start by looking at where to find the funding calls, what parts the proposal consists of and their content. We will proceed by analysing the call text and what information we can extract from the text. For part of the day, we will focus on what impact means and how to write the impact section in the proposal. We will also examine how the proposals are evaluated and how the evaluation forms can support you in the proposal preparation. Many of the topics addressed can be applied also to other funding sources.
