Warm Welcome to the

2nd HERALD.ECI Workshop
with hands-on training for “bonding HERALD.ECIs from ideas to proposals”

When?

March 01-02, 2018

Where?

ICMAB (Institut de Ciència de Materials de Barcelona)
Campus de la UAB, 08193 Bellaterra, Barcelona, Spain

Organizing Committee

The 2nd HERALD.ECI Workshop is organized by:

Mariona Coll & Jaume Gazquez, Institut de Ciència de Materials de Barcelona;
Maximilian Gebhard, Ruhr-University Bochum; and
Marcel Junige, Technische Universität Dresden.

Program

The main objective of this 2nd HERALD.ECI Workshop with hands-on training is to

create an ignition point for competitive proposals resulting in joint, EU-funded research projects
under ECI (early career investigator) participation or leadership.

We want the trainees to

gain advanced ‘theoretical’ knowledge input on how to write competitive proposals & manage EU-funded projects from an EU funding expert & Horizon 2020 coach through an impulse talk plus interactive proposal clinics.
find excellent, perfectly matching collaboration/ project partners during a welcome mixer.
exchange experiences with an excellent (female) ALD expert and with an industry partner.
transfer the newly gained knowledge into advanced ‘practical’ skills by
developing joint proposal ideas,
transitioning specific ideas into concrete proposal drafts, and
starting to write together in smaller, matched collaboration/ project groups.
go home with a raw outline and concrete idea description, i. e. the first step of an actual proposal.
