Informazioni generali sul corso
The ability to write proposals that get you obtain funding for research is a skill that every organisation and early stage researcher must invest in and have.This course has been designed in such a way as to equip participants with essential proposal writing skills that are effective and practical.
The course material is drawn from well researched and tested experiences on proposal writing.
ESRs will be exposed to the theoretical foundations of proposal writing and at the same time engage in intensive practical sessions where they are expected, through practice in writing proposals, to apply what has been learnt.
Furthermore, adult learning methods will be employed where ESRs share experiences on how they can be more effective in their proposal writing. A sample proposal that can be used as a model will be given to every ESR for future reference.
