This is one of several other important activities within the POLICY ANSWERS (Horizon Europe) project. This cohort includes around 30 researchers from different universities and research organizations. This diverse group of participants bring a range of perspectives, ideas, and experiences to the program. However, they all share a common goal of increasing their competitive and absorptive capacities at securing funding for their research projects through Horizon Europe. An excellent group committed to learning the best practices for developing proposals.

Through this program, participants learn how to effectively communicate their research ideas, structure their proposals, and address the evaluation criteria required by Horizon Europe.

This cohort is led by experienced professionals who have a deep understanding of the Horizon Europe framework and funding opportunities, also featuring an international trainer, Dr. Ildiko Ipolyi (ESF),  prof. M. Mustafa and Dr. A. Hashani, a team which brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to our program.

Likewise, the participants work in groups to identify relevant Horizon Europe funding calls and develop proposals for their own real-world research projects. This collaborative approach not only fosters a sense of community among participants, but it also provides them with valuable experience working in a team to develop a competitive proposal.
