Proposal
Writing Sessions - Marie Curie Actions
The UK Research Office – in its capacity as UK National
Contact Point for the Marie Curie Actions – and in partnership with the
Manchester University, University of Newcastle, Cardiff University,
University of Strathclyde and University of Reading - held a series of proposal
writing sessions for UK-based applicants for: Marie Curie Intra-European Fellowships; Incoming
International Fellowships; Outgoing International Fellowships;
Excellence Teams; Excellence Chairs
and Transfer of Knowledge actions.
Background
The Marie Curie Fellowships are designed for
industry (including SMEs) ,
universities, institutes of technology and research organisations. They
support the training
and mobility of researchers, within the context of promoting
excellence in European Research. They
are funded by the European Commission under Framework
Programme 6 (FP6) for European Research & Technological Development.
The Marie Curie
Fellowships provide an opportunity to develop you and/or your
research teams’ research skills and training capacity, by building on
industrial and academic expertise within Europe and across the
world,
through
staff exchanges, secondments and studentships.
Aim of proposal writing sessions
The aim of each session is to provide participants with a deeper
understanding of the proposal format and the key issues they are required to
address in planning and writing their proposal. There will be two different
types of session: one focusing on the Individual and Excellence actions and
the other on the Transfer of Knowledge Action
Who should attend?
The session will be of particular interest
to UK-based researchers who are interested in and/or are planning to submit
a proposal for one of the forthcoming deadlines: Marie Curie Intra-European
Fellowships, Incoming International Fellowships, Outgoing International
Fellowships, Excellence Teams, Excellence Chairs and Transfer of Knowledge.
Attendance is free thanks to support from the hosting Universities and the UK
Research Office.
Programme outline
Each session will provide an outline of the application form and in-depth
guidance on planning and writing your Marie Curie proposals. The session
will be based on feedback from evaluators (from current and previous calls),
and endeavour to respond to specific areas of interest identified by
participants in the on-line registration form.
