The course aims at introducing PhD students to Horizon2020, the platform of research projects funded by EU.
The students will familiarize with the most relevant concepts such as the different types of projects, the structure of a standard proposal, eligibility criteria, analysis of the evaluation form, project guidelines, and main statistics for the specific projects. The introduction lecture will be delivered by Dr. Martina Calamusa, Research facilitator in the Research and Technology Transfer Services of UNIPI.
Three professors from DCCI will illustrate their personal experience with EU projects of different types of Individual Fellowships:
ERC Starting Grants; Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions - Individual fellowship (MSCA-IF); Future and Emerging Technologies (FET).
In the practical hands-on session, which will focus especially on MSCA-IF, the students will learn how to access useful documents to apply to the programme, and understand the main sections of the template.
