The training organisation Europa Media Trainings is launching a series of regular, free webinars on the Horizon Europe programme, which will take place every month from September onwards. The first two will take place on 21 and 23 September and will focus on the use of artificial intelligence in drafting project proposals and on grant writing for early-career researchers.
The webinars are intended to serve as a regular forum for sharing practical experience of managing and coordinating projects funded under the Horizon Europe programme, directly from experts with practical experience of EU-funded projects.

The webinar will focus on a practical introduction to writing grant applications for early-career researchers, specifically the MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships and ERC Starting Grants calls. The programme will cover the key features of both schemes, the process of preparing and evaluating proposals, the criteria that evaluators look for in early-career researchers, and the differences between writing a scientific article and a project proposal. The session will also include practical exercises in concisely formulating a project proposal.
The webinar will be led by Paolo Simonelli, an external expert on European partnerships and innovation projects.
