How to write effective EU proposals: A practical guide on getting funding for Horizon 2020

"How to write effective EU Proposals" is a practical guide on getting funding for Horizon 2020.

The book shows you how to:

• Develop ideas and find opportunities for funding within the Horizon 2020 programme.
• Start networking and make yourself a natural partner for a proposal.
• Use successful partner search strategies and tactics.
• Manage your way to EU funding, weed out bad proposals and join successful networks.
• Apply a step by step approach to increase your chances of funding by guiding you through the often neglected areas of proposal positioning through excellence and urgency and writing for impact.
• Evaluate and improve your proposal before submission.

The book describes these steps beyond the technical requirements and focuses on the lesser known - but essential - social and procedural factors for obtaining funding for your Horizon 2020 project. See http://horizonbook.eu for additional resources.
