How to build and present a competitive idea and CV for MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship grants
The (online) workshop, organized by the Research, Technology Transfer and Innovation Department and held in English by Lotte Jaspers of the Dutch consultancy Yellow Research, aims to prepare young researchers to become competitive candidates for the prestigious MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships grants.
Considering the fierce competition and complex evaluation system of the MSCA PF, writing a successful grant proposal is a true challenge, as having a good idea is simply not enough.
In this entirely online training, we will dig into how to present your project idea and how to demonstrate that you are the best Researcher for the project. In particular the workshop will illustrate:
- an overview of the main aspects related to MSCA PF proposal writing
- an understanding of the complex evaluation criteria, how to assess it and what are quite often the so-called “hidden criteria” like career mobility and novelty of the idea
-how to “build” a competitive CV, presenting capacity and expertise to execute the project successfully
- methodological tools, such as the Logical Framework and the Logic Tree for grant writing
After the workshop, participants will have access to a study platform that will allow for individual study and where the slides and recording of the workshop will be provided together with some explanatory videos and support materials.
Registration for the workshop is mandatory at the following link by Wednesday 10 May (1.00 pm CEST, you will not receive any confirmation message). All subscribers will be given the link to connect to the webinar the day before the event.
