“Three years after its launch, the EU’s Horizon 2020 framework programme continues to be an open interrogation: although most applicants don’t master the programme, thousands of project proposals are still submitted every trimester (if not every month). Horizon 2020 has thus emerged as an ultra-popular hunting ground for financing, being labelled as one of the most successful support schemes for research and innovators in Europe… and worldwide”, says Daniela Gomes, CEO at Octopux Consulting.
“However, more than 80% of researchers and innovators are new to EU public financing and are largely misinformed about its real complexity. Many first-time applicants (accounting to more than 50%) are still convinced of the incredible easiness of receiving Horizon 2020 funding, while, on the other hand, several multiple-time non-funded applicants claim that Horizon 2020 is a lottery that only finances researchers and innovators who lobby top EU officials with success”, concludes.
This is the reason why our mission during the first 2017’s Horizon 2020 Proposal Writing course (16-17 February 2017, Brussels) consists in demonstrating to all participants that, despite the fierce competition in Horizon 2020, winning a Horizon 2020 proposal is possible… through persistence, even for first-time applicants!
Many first-time applicants complain that it is impossible to find on the internet examples of real-life successful proposals (from page 1 to 30… 50… 70…) selected for funding by the European Commission. On 16-17 February 2017, you will have a fantastic opportunity to learn from at least 2 real-life Horizon 2020 projects and see their full proposals right in front of you during the workshop.
We are proudly giving yourself a chance to become a better proposal writer on EU Funding, right after more than 1000 professionals have benefited from it since 2013.
