Many researchers at TECH collaborate closely with industry and work at high Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) yet often seek more experience in effectively describing the impact of their work in funding proposals. This workshop provides practical tools and real-world examples to help researchers articulate both commercial and societal impact in a compelling way.
Participants will learn how to frame their research in terms of market potential, economic growth, and contributions to a competitive and sustainable business sector. Emphasis will be placed on aligning project outcomes with strategic priorities of the funder. The workshop supports researchers in demonstrating how their innovations can create value across the entire value chain—from production to processing to end-user.
The workshop will be conducted in English.

The opportunities for external funding related to the green transition are numerous and rich in information. In this webinar, we will go through different ways to understand the funding landscape for research and development, and you will get an overview of the funding opportunities in Denmark (private and public) and Europe.
The webinar is designed to train junior researchers (tenure-track assistant professors, assistant professors, and postdoc) in finding the right funding for their research ideas now and in the future. Newly recruited, more senior academic staff from abroad and other interested researchers are welcome to join.

As a postdoc, tenure-track staff, and newly recruited to a Danish university there is an expectation that you will be involved in fundraising. However, for many researchers early in their career, this is a new competence that needs to be developed. For researchers new to Europe or Denmark there may be differences compared to your home countries.
This webinar covers the fundamental aspects of grant writing in a Danish and European context. Topics that will be covered include the grant writing process, genre, target group, evaluation, project description (introduction, objective, research questions, state-of-the-art, method, research plan, project management, dissemination, impact), budgeting and support at AU.
