- Horizon 2020 – and very likely also Horizon Europe – are highly competitive programs. Only the most excellent, innovative and high-risk proposals will get funded. To write a competitive proposal you must many things in place and be an excellent project developer. In this training you will gain the necessary knowledge about the European framework program for research and innovation and its complex set of rules. We give your tools to develop the good proposal: consortia building, excellence, impact and implementation, tips for the budget and the graphics and illustrations. The training will be adapted to your wishes and needs.
