The Research Support Services organize a Grant Writing Seminar day on 26th April 2013 at 9.00-15.30 in Otaniemi, address Rakentajanaukio 4 A, seminar hall R2.
We target all Aalto researchers and professors, who are interested in improving their chances of winning funding bits to support their research.
The course comprises many thematic blocks, touching the most important aspect of grant writing. In cooperation with the Language Centre, we propose a section focusing on the use of English language in grants and how it differs from standard academic writing. In addition, we will listen to the experience of proposal evaluators and of researchers who used Aalto’s grant writing support service.
Aalto’s grant writers will present the most important aspects of all parts included in a proposal.
The course will be held in English.
Registration via eAge, deadline 24.4.2013.
