Grant writing

Grant applications: the competition is fierce, the chance of success is small and significance is high. In this tailor-made course, we work on your application in a result-driven way. The result is a scientific proposal that sells itself.

How do you positively bring your research proposal to the attention of grant providers such as NWO, ERC or KWF? How do you summarise complex matter in an attractive and clearly written text? In excellent English. We help you out during this tailor-made course.

Approach and content

This tailor-made course teaches you how to write a concise and pleasantly readable research proposal. A proposal that powerfully conveys the relevance and innovation of your research and your qualities as a researcher.

The meetings are above all practical and result-driven, with your own research proposal as the point of departure. You will focus on the content and structure of your text and receive valuable tips.

This workshop is available in both Dutch and English as a tailor-made course for groups as well as individuals.
