DEPARTMENT Doctoral School

 
DESCRIPTION Most funding opportunities for doctoral researchers (such as the EU Horizon Europe programme) aim to embed societal engagement and involvement in research and research institutions. Incorporating the concept is essential to receive funding.

To maximise societal impact, society should be involved in every step of the research process. This helps ensure a greater commitment to addressing societal needs, an understanding of stakeholders’ needs and role in research, reflection on the impact that today’s decisions may have in the future, and increased transparency and openness in the research and innovation processes. Critical awareness and a sense of social responsibility are also considered necessary skills in Horizon Europe impact pathways.

This workshop will help participants improve the impact sections of EU funding applications. A series of tools and processes will be used to allow doctoral researchers to develop ideas tailored to their own research into practice and improve their societal impact. By engaging in group activities and mapping exercises, the workshop will encourage researchers to critically reflect on how these concepts can be practically implemented in their own research, and demonstrate how they can be incorporated in grant proposals to increase funding success.

By the end of this workshop, doctoral researchers should be able to:

- understand and improve the research impact sections of EU funding applications;
- expand ideas tailored to their own research;
- consider how these concepts can be carried out in their own research;
- integrate these concepts in grant proposals to increase funding success.
