New European training event added: developing networks

A new training event has been added to our European Funding Training Programme. Focussing on ‘building International Networks for Research and Innovation’, the session will take place on 5 Feb 2024. Full details are below, and registration is available here.

______________________________

Being well connected is an essential requirement for anyone looking to successfully engage with international funding programmes, such as Horizon. But how can you best grow and maintain those networks ? What support is available ? Where should you start ?

This on-line event is designed to get you going with your network building activities. Led by University of East Anglia’s European and International Funding lead, Ian Beggs, Ian has over 10 years experience of engaging with EU funding and has a wealth of knowledge and expertise to share.

In this session, you will learn about:

• Funding opportunities that can support building international contacts and networks;
• How to search for funding calls of interest;
• Interpreting funding calls and the key eligibility considerations;
• The importance of interdisciplinarity;
• Capturing your ‘Unique Selling Point’ (USP) (your potential research ‘contribution’ to a collaborative proposal); and,
• Finding and engaging potential partners/coordinators.

The session is intended to be as interactive as possible – with plenty of opportunities for you to ask questions.

Places are FREE to all Eastern arc staff but do REGISTER so that we have an idea of numbers.
