Slovak Technical University together with the University of Pisa invites you to 2 practical workshops: “The Horizon Europe non-scientific sections of the proposal” and “Budget setting in RIA/IA/CSA, ERC and MSCA: actual costs, lump sum, unit cost and fixed rate.” The workshops are organized within the project FrontSeat funded by the Twining scheme of Horizon Europe.

The Workshops will take place on 21 June, Wednesday, in Slovak Technical University in Bratislava, Vazovova 5.

Program:

9:00 – 12:00 The Horizon Europe non-scientific sections of the proposal.
The HE templates include section which you, as a scientist, may not be so familiar with. What Open Science, Gender in science, DNSH is about? How to deal with the Ethics self-assessment? What is the difference between Exploitation, Dissemination and Communication activities? The workshop will drive you through all this aspect of your proposal.

13:00 – 16:00 Budget setting in RIA/IA/CSA, ERC and MSCA: actual costs, lump sum, unit cost and fixed rate.
Let’s talk about money. Depending on the programme you are applying for in Horizon Europe, the approach to budget setting may vary. We will present you the main current frames, up to the new pilot on lump sum.

The workshops are for researchers, project managers, and everyone interested in Horizon Europe funding. The workshops will be held by the project managers from the University of Pisa. The seminar will be in English.
