Training proposal

Within the framework of the PROMETHEUS project, as part of the call for "Grants for the Preparation and Management of European Projects 2022," the organization of training on how to approach the impact section of Horizon Europe projects is planned.

It is proposed by the International Projects Unit, in coordination with Nèstor López, responsible for communication in the RDI Area, to organize training jointly between the Research and Innovation Support Service and the Communication Service of the UPC.

The training would follow the structure outlined below. However, it is adaptable to the criteria of the trainer and those with expertise and knowledge.

1. PROPOSAL PHASE

In the scientific-technical description part, known as part B, of this model, there is a section dedicated to the communication and dissemination plan. In this first part of the training, the aim is to identify the key aspects valued by the European Commission and how to address them from the perspective of the researcher submitting the proposal.
