To encourage ERC-applicants from UHasselt, OBI offers applicants for Starting, Consolidator and Advanced grants the opportunity to participate in proposal writing training. Applicants will have the ability to choose between two types of training, either by participating in an online webinar organised by Yellow Research or by engaging in an individual training by Ms. Julia Staykova of Scriptorium. Both trainings will be financed by BOF. Applicants interested in this support, should notify OBI via research@uhasselt.be.


For the Starting, Consolidator and Synergy Grant call, NCP Flanders has organized an information webinar. Visit the website to watch the recording.
