Why Attend
In EIC Pathfinder Challenges, the Excellence narrative carries the score.
Successful proposals are built around:
A convincing breakthrough story
A credible pathway from TRL 1–3 toward TRL 4+
Strong consortium logic
A realistic intellectual property framework
This live 3.5-hour workshop focuses directly on those elements using evaluator-style guidance and challenge-specific positioning.
You work on your own concept and proposal draft while building:
You leave with:
A clearer challenge fit
A stronger Excellence section
A more credible impact pathway
Better consortium positioning
A practical IP framework
A free pre-submission evaluation before submission
This is live proposal work, not a lecture.
