Grant Writing Workshop
Kuupäev:
29.11.2023 (All day)
Asukoht:
Zoom and Tartu, Jakobi 2-114
In this two-part hybrid workshop on Wednesday, 29th November, Laura Janda and Harald Baayen will prepare us for the challenges of getting external funding. Both of them have vast experience in successfully applying for research grants, including from the Norwegian Research Council, the European Union, and the National Science Foundation (USA).
How to put the 'fun' in external funding (Laura Janda)
In the first session, we will reverse roles and put on the hats of grant reviewers and granting agencies instead of grant writers. Imagine facing a pile of grant proposals, only a small percentage of which can be funded – what would you do? What strategies does the answer to this question suggest? We will tackle these and other questions with the aim of promoting an atmosphere of playful exploration as an antidote to the drudgery and frustration that too often permeates the grant writing experience.
Writing research proposals for the European Research Council (Harald Baayen)
In the second session, Harald will share his experiences with writing grant proposals for the ERC (including two successful ERC grants), his experiences as an ERC panel member for starter grants, and his ongoing interactions with colleagues who are preparing ERC grant proposals.
When? November 29th, from 12:30-17:00 EET / 11:30-16:00 CET / 10:30-15:00 GMT.
Where? This is a hybrid event that will take place both online, accessible over Zoom, and at the Insitute of Estonian and General Linguistics in Tartu in Jakobi 2, room 114. You will get the Zoom link after registration.
NB! Laura wishes to use Zoom polls with everybody. If participating on location, please bring a laptop or phone to interact with Zoom polls. Laura will also give us her proposals to read during the workshop. You can review them here.
