Overview
The programme has been designed to strengthen institutional capability across the higher education sector, supporting universities and research organisations to increase participation in Horizon Europe and improve application success rates. Through a train-the-trainer approach, the programme aims to equip research support professionals with the knowledge, skills and confidence to act as multipliers of expertise within their institutions.
This event will bring together research support and development professionals from across the UK to explore practical approaches to supporting researchers, developing competitive proposals and embedding effective Horizon Europe support within their organisations. Sessions will cover key aspects of proposal excellence, application support and institutional best practice, alongside opportunities for discussion, networking and peer learning.
As part of the registration process, we are asking attendees to complete a short survey. The information gathered will help us better understand current strengths, challenges and development needs across the sector, enabling us to identify common themes, facilitate peer learning and ensure the programme delivers maximum value to participants.
We would be grateful if you could complete all survey questions as fully as possible. Responses will be used for event planning and evaluation purposes only and will be reported in aggregate. Individual responses will not be attributed to specific attendees.
Should you wish to provide any additional comments relating to the topics covered, please use the free-text fields provided throughout the survey.
Please note that this event is currently an expression of interest only. All submissions will be reviewed by the team, and attendance will be confirmed following the review process.
