Postdoc Grant Writing Course

Cluster

Career management

Target group

PhD candidates and postdoctoral researchers who are applying for an FWO Postdoc Fellowship (junior or senior) with Ghent University as their main affiliation.

We strongly encourage that you only apply for this course if you intend to submit an FWO application. Given the limited number of spaces, we may need to reject enrolment applications from PhD candidates who are not preparing FWO applications should that be necessary to guarantee places for those who are.

Objective

To support FWO Postdoc applicants with writing a grant proposal.    

Topic

Towards the upcoming FWO postdoctoral fellowship call, we are offering a series of online, interactive seminars by profectus.academy (https://www.profectus.academy/) to learn how to develop a more competitive research proposal. Anders Wennström and Folmer Bokma have helped many researchers take that step. Using real example proposals for different funding bodies, they will examine what distinguishes approved from rejected proposals, and how you can present your research idea, track record, and future potential more persuasively.
