Research and Enterprise will be hosting a series of workshops and training sessions on Wednesday 1st February to help set you on the path to funding success!

Targeted at those who have little or no experience of writing research funding bids, this session will take you back to the basics of how to build a proposal for research funding. This session will also be of use to staff with more experience of writing proposals but would like a few hints and tips to maximise the chances of success. Staff who support research funding applications are also welcome to attend.

The how to engage with the EU and raise your profile session will provide tips, tricks and best practice on how to increase your chances of success when applying for European Commission funding.

There is an ever increasing emphasis on this aspect of research proposals; which many find difficult to address. This is a 2 hour discussion workshop developing the techniques and strategies required to maximise the many and diverse arguments and justifications required to ensure the research application is both structured correctly and presented in the optimum manner to be competitively ahead of the others.

We will discuss what the Marie Curie fellowships scheme offers, why it’s worth applying for and how to maximise your chances of success.

5) Introduction to research grant writing, 1 hour 3.45pm– 4.45pm. (As above)

The training will be facilitated by Dr Martin Pickard, who has been writing and supporting literally thousands of grant applications and projects over the past 25 years.  You are able to attend as many sessions as you would like. To book a place on any of these sessions please email us.

Martin will also be holding his usual bid writing surgery on Thursday 2nd February. Please contact research@lincoln.ac.uk if you wish to book an appointment to speak to Martin about a bid to any funder.
