There is a life after the PhD dissertation. This life is not necessarily straightforward in terms of a scientific career. It is a clear political and institutional expectation that researchers today acquire external funding for research projects – which are fundamental to an academic career. A PhD-position does not usually provide competence in project design and fund raising, even though this is the future for most PhDs who wish to pursue a career in research.
The aim of this workshop is to provide future researchers with skills to succeed in writing academic applications and acquiring external funding. It aims at giving PhD students increased knowledge about writing good project applications for research funds, the logic of evaluation of applications, and the key potential funding sources in Europe. The workshop is developed for PhD candidates who are in the final phase of their PhD projects.
Course work
The workshop will consist of individual presentations, group work and visits to relevant institutions in Brussels. Before the course starts, each PhD student is to prepare and pre-circulate a fictitious project application draft (3 pages, Times New Roman 12, Spacing 1,5). The simulated call for the workshop will be sent to the applicants after they have been accepted to the workshop.
