Abstract Text

It is not easy to convince somebody to invest their money in you. It is no different for acquiring money for your research project. Writing a grant application is a long process, which requires knowledge and creativity, but also a lot of administrative work. Additionally, as a young researcher you need to convince the reviewers not only that your project is interesting and impactful, but also that you are the person they should invest in and this project is important for your career development. In this presentation, I will give some tips on: how to organize your work during application preparation; how to present your ideas in a convincing and structured way; and finally which mistakes to avoid.
