Tips• Question

Can I see myself committing to this project? Is it in line with my development and research progression?

• Man-months and costing Existing researchers, RA to recruit? (fulltime?) RO to help – average rate calculation

• Invest time Do not procrastinate Get a rough draft/skeleton ready quickly Know your partners Know your field Know your role in the project Refer to other successful proposals

Page 8: Personal experience in Horizon 2020 funding bidding

Tips• Network

Info Days Social media – Linked In, etc. 6-degree of separation

• Not successful – past the threshold? Then it’s “not right now”… maybe Reusable for other calls in the future Improve based on the reviewers’ feedback
