Programme

9:00-10:00 Evaluators view: How to write a competitive EU-proposal?

Proposal writing for EU funding can be demanding and many submitted proposals do not get funding. However, this does not necessarily mean that writing a successful project proposal is a mission impossible. According to the independent expert evaluators that read your proposal, there are several things you can do to improve your success rate, when it comes to getting funding. Monica Schofield is an experienced evaluator for the European Commission and will give you insights on what the evaluators look for in a proposal.
