For this, dierent learning approaches will be carried out includingparticipants’ discussion, groups’ practical exercises and networkingactivities. These have been designed in order to provide maximuminteraction among participants and include a poster session, introductionof participating institutions, their R&D&I expertise and outcomes, aswell as presentation of potential project ideas.
MODULE I: European Funding Opportunities for R&DExhibition accompanied by presentations and visuals aids, supportedby online tools to search for information and funding. Hands on sessiondesigned to instruct course participants in how to navigate virtualportals so as to promote their use. The consultant will aim make thesession more pleasant by encouraging participation and interest of theattendees, opening up discussions on real cases.MODULE II: Preparation and Management of European R&D&iprojects (FP7)This Module is organized as a workshop, as all examples provided will bebased on situations and real cases.
The session will be complemented bythe added value of a senior consultant, who through his know-how andexperience will add personal examples and experiences to make thecontent easier to understand.
Each participant will receive the following documentation:- Relevant legislation in the student’s specic area of interest. Web linksof interest and Bibliography.- Clear and outlined manual and support literature to the coursecontent.- Supporting documents to the case studies and simulations.- Instruments and tools for calculating budgets. Practical forms forpartner searches.
This workshop has been designed based on more than 15 years experiencein the successful preparation and formulation of projects for EUnancing. It allows for case studies and analysis of best practicesbetween consultants and participants. Prior to the course, participantswill be asked about their experience regarding participation in Europeanprojects and interest programs.The contents and case studies are tailored to participants’ concerns andtraining needs, based on a needs analysis carried out prior to the course.The knowledge acquired can be extrapolated to projects nanced byother funding sources (national, regional, etc.)
This workshop has been organized using a non-conventionaltraining approach and has the basic goal of addressing the keyelements and procedures involved in the design and preparationof projects in the Environment theme of the FP7. Besides,additional insight in general FP7 issues as well as in otherEnvironment European funding programs will be provided. TheWorkshop is addressed to researchers and other technical andadministrative sta usually involved in FP7 projects applicationand participation. A wide spectrum of organizations working inthe environmental eld can nd here an opportunity toimprove their chances of success when applying to FP7 calls bygaining capacity, and networking with other workshop participants.Among participants, some have been previouslyselected and invited based on their already proven researchbackground in dierent EU R&D&I programs.
