Why Attend?
Most proposals written with AI are average, and evaluators can tell.
The problem is not necessarily the technology. The problem is using AI to produce proposal text instead of testing the proposal itself.
In this intensive 3.5-hour workshop, AI becomes your second reader—testing your proposal against the call, the award criteria and your own internal consistency.
You work on your own text throughout the session. Every prompt demonstrated is applied to your own draft before the session ends.
Is This Course for You?
A good fit if you are:
- A researcher or coordinator preparing a Horizon Europe proposal for a deadline within the next six months
- Working on Pillar 2, Widening, MSCA, EIC or ERC
- A research or project office reviewing proposals for several teams
- A consultant looking for a repeatable, safe AI-assisted method rather than one-off tricks
- Using free AI tools or an institutional AI licence
What You Will Walk Away With
01 — A Strong Proposal Summary Analysis
Your summary analysed against the call text, expected outcomes, scope and destination, with gaps identified and objectives checked for credibility.
02 — A Follow-Up Evaluator Review
The award criteria are applied to your proposal to identify weak points and provide feedback in the language an evaluator would use.
03 — A Rewrite in Your Own Voice
Machine-text patterns are identified and removed while preserving your terminology, claims and intellectual contribution.
04 — A Part A & Part B Consistency Check
Your objectives, work packages, KPIs and budget lines are checked against each other for inconsistencies.
05 — A Hallucination & Confidentiality Protocol
Learn how to verify references and numbers, what information should never be entered into a public AI model, and how to prepare your AI-use statement.
06 — A Tested Prompt Set
You will use the prompts during the session on your own draft and receive the efficient prompt set as a document afterwards.

What You Will NOT Get
- No copy-paste template
- No promise of funding
- No ghostwriting—by a person or by a machine
AI does not write your proposal. You do—faster, with a second reader.
If you arrive without a call and without text, you can still follow the process using a specific call and proposal example.
100% Satisfaction Guarantee
We are confident in the quality of both the training and the evaluation output.
If you are not satisfied with the quality of the course or the evaluation feedback on your proposal, your participation fee will be returned.
Frequently Asked Questions
What tools and accounts do I need?
A free account on one general-purpose AI tool is enough, although a paid account is preferred. Institutional AI tools also work. A short list is sent three days before the session.
Is my draft safe?
You work with your own text on your own screen. The workshop shows you how to switch off training on your data and anonymise text that must remain confidential. Your draft is never shared.
What if I cannot attend on 19 November?
You can move your seat to the next cohort of the same bootcamp at no extra fee.
What is the refund policy?
Full refund up to 7 days before the event. After that, you can transfer your seat to the next cohort or to a colleague.
Turn AI Into Your Second Reader
Don't use AI simply to write more. Use it to test, challenge and strengthen the proposal you have written.
