Make your next application sharper, stronger and more precise.Fri, 19 Dec 2025 08:30:00 +0100Make your next application sharper, stronger and more precise.Are you planning to apply for seed funding, grants, a fellowship, or a targeted call in the near future? This hands-on workshop will help early career researchers transform a promising idea into a proposal that aligns with the call, persuades reviewers, and presents a clear plan rather than a collection of good intentions.Instead of generic "how to write" advice, we work step-by-step with the exact elements that often decide the outcome: scope fit, a crisp core idea, a compelling motivation, a realistic workplan and timeline, and the key pieces reviewers look for but applicants often miss (budget logic, management, ethics, state-of-the-art, etc.). You'll also get structured peer discussions throughout the session-because if someone else can't quickly understand your idea and its importance, a reviewer probably won't either.   You will leave the workshop with:<ul><li>a sharper 2-3 sentence description of your proposal idea</li><li>a straightforward argument for why your project fits the call (and what's out of scope)</li><li>a draft workplan with timeline and roles that feels realistic and fundable</li><li>a checklist of what's missing in your draft, aligned with the call text</li><li>a "Plan B" for reusing your proposal if it isn't funded (article, re-targeted call, new collaborations)</li></ul>Format Interactive workshop with short writing exercises, call analysis, and peer feedback.Target group PhD candidates and early-career researchers.Seats Limited capacity (approx. 20 participants) to keep the workshop interactive.   Register before 18/12 to secure a seat: <a href="https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=-aZLWjH1Mk-UZzmPGead5L5NCtMc_wFKtktBBSp87MJURVM3TEwxWkpTRjBLSVpCQ0tPNDhKNDFXNC4u&route=shorturl">Writing workshop for early career researchers</a> The workshop will be held in <a href="https://use.mazemap.com/?utm_medium=shorturl&fromshortlink=true#v=1&campusid=289&zlevel=2&center=20.305992,63.819906&zoom=18&sharepoitype=identifier&sharepoi=Universum-Aula%20Nordica-A2.38.51">Mustang Sally</a>Mustang SallyWorkshop/en/events/writing-workshop-for-early-career-researchers_12152409/2025-12-19T08:30:00+01:002025-12-19T12:00:00+01:00/en/events/ec2u-linguistic--cultural-diversity-doctoral-workshop-in-jena-_12153300/EC2U “Linguistic & Cultural Diversity” doctoral workshop in Jena Are you a doctoral student interested in linguistic & cultural diversity?
