Learning Objectives and structure
Everyone’s talking about AI that “writes your grant in minutes.” Sounds great—until you remember evaluators don’t fund pretty paragraphs; they fund solid ideas, clear plans, and credible teams. AI can help tidy text, but it can’t replace the thinking, evidence, and commitments reviewers look for.
This course teaches the parts AI can’t do—call reading, impact pathways, credible methodology, realistic work planning, and the reviewer mindset. Then, we show you how to use this knowledge also with the support of AI safely and effectively for success in Horizon Europe

As a funding expert, personal trainer and coach, he has supported thousands of individuals and organisations mainly from Europe but also from all over the world in managing state funding (e.g. from the European Commission, National Funds, etc) and receiving support for deploying their business idea or mission. Recently, he came across of AI in proposal writing and he became thrilled with it. He considers that AI will bring the same revolution as PC (Personal Computers). PCs changed the way that business is conducted and today is the only norm and in the same way, he believes that AI will do so and no one should stay behind. |
