Preparation for group discussions
Writing a funding application requires a constant optimisation of different sections of the application, including the introduction, the background/state-of-the-art, and the impact, dissemination and communication parts.
We therefore ask you to choose one of the following three topics and prepare some notes on what you consider as important when writing this particular section: (1) introduction; (2) background/state-of-the-art; and (3) impact, dissemination and communication.
