The Grant Writing Lab is a 3-day training dedicated to researchers who will submit a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships proposal with Sapienza as Host Institution. Supervisors who want to join the training are also invited to attend.

During each day, a different section of the application form will be analyzed in detail to provide participants with all the information needed to address each section in the most comprehensive way. In particular, the lab aims at providing insights on what is expected from an MSCA-PF proposal, which are the most common mistakes to avoid, and which elements can represent an added value.

Special “focus sessions” will be dedicated to key issues such as Open Science, Communication and Exploitation, and Ethical Issues.

The full programme is available in the “Downloads” section.
