The Regional Science and Technology Fund (FRCT), promotes, on May 17, in physical format and Portuguese only, the training and capacity building action on “how to develop Research & Innovation proposals with impact”, as part of our project FORWARD.
This training aims to empower the actors of the regional research and innovation ecosystem of the Azores, approaching and enabling them to the new instruments and tools available for funding from the new Horizon Europe Framework Program, and thus increase the ability to access EU funds.
This training aims, specifically, to present the project selection criteria of the main R&I programs, share effective methods of topic and partner selection and partnership management, present “storytelling to maximize the impact with evaluators, identify methods of budget construction, and also disseminate techniques for promoting the proposal.
In the framework of WP4 capacity building actions of FORWARD, our partner Plataforma Oceánica de Canarias (PLOCAN) will implement a training on Financial reporting and auditing in Horizon Europe Projects. The event will be organised on 5th May (web-streaming will be available in English). The key audience targeted by this training session will be the industry (e.g. SMEs and clusters).
