How to Prepare a European Research Plan Dr. Sean McCarthy Hyperion Ltd, Ireland
Overview of the Programme The aim of this training programme is to help researchers develop their individual research plans for Horizon Europe (2021-2027). At the end of the programme, researchers will have a Power Point presentation summarising their research plans for the following four years. This plan can be used as a private plan of the researcher or it can be used to contribute to a Department or Faculty research plan. The Plan can also be used by Research Support Offices to provide specific support to the researcher. Phase 1: Training Courses for Newcomers to Horizon Europe (2021-2027)
