About the event

Winning an EIC Pathfinder grant is not about filling templates—it’s about thinking like the programme, structuring bold ideas, and convincing top-tier reviewers.

This one-day intensive, hands-on training will help you:

  • Unlock the EIC Pathfinder mindset – what makes an idea truly “high-risk/high-gain”
  • Understand the core ingredients of a strong proposal – from concept to structure
  • Build robust consortia – strategies for credible partnerships
  • Apply practical tools – for clear, reviewer-friendly writing

Through a mix of focused inputs, group work, and individual exercises, participants will actively work on idea shaping, consortium strategy, and proposal structuring—not just listen to slides.

There is a limited number of places available for this course, so it is advisable to register as soon as possible. If there are more applicants than available places, priority will be given to participants planning to submit an EIC Pathfinder proposal in 2026.

This course will be conducted in English.
