My first EU-Project Dr. Bodil Holst Institut für Experimentalphysik TU-GRAZ, Austria
My First EU-Project: INA – Imaging with Neutral Atoms The objective is to improve the resolution of helium atom microscopy by a factor of 50, from 1 micron to 20 nm – This would create a novel imaging method with unique characteristics and a wide application range (biophysical, bio-medical, electronics, and other applications), and give European researchers a leading position in the technology of atom optics. NEST HOMEPAGE: http: //www. cordis. lu/nest/projects. htm Partners: W. Allison, Cambridge UK Total Budget D. Litwin, INOS Poland, 1. 4 Million Euro B. Surma ITME Poland, D. Farias Univ.

Talk-Overview l Preliminary Phase – Understanding how the EU Works l Preparation Phase – Getting the Idea – Finding the Consortium l Writing Phase – Outline Proposal – Full Proposal
Why Bother Writing an EUProposal? l Money for your own research – Important for obtaining a permanent academic position – I get 400000 Euro over three years. An FWF proposal just gave me 90000 for 1. 5 years – HINT: Make sure you get to keep your own overheads (20%) Normal procedure in Austria l More Presence in your scientific community Important for obtaining a permanent academic position. – HINT: Make sure to have famous people in your consortium l The ability to obtain external funding is a crucial requirement for obtaining a permanent academic position.
Preliminary Phase – Getting to know the EU • FIRST STEP: Idealy, Attend a course on how to write an EU proposal. I did this! The course was organised by CEWS (Centre of Excellence, Women in Science). The course was given by Sean Mc. Carthy Hyperion. If no course available, buy his book: “How to write a competitive proposal for framework 6”: http: //www. hyperion. ie (130 Euro). I now offer a one day workshop – “My First EU-Project” http: //www. bodilcampenhausen. de • SECOND STEP: Registering as an External Expert: Go to the cordis page http: //fp 6. cordis. lu/fp 6/home. cfm and click on „Call for experts“ • THIRD STEP: Make sure you get elected to be an expert. The scientific officers needs to know you. Get in personal contact with a scientific officer in your field!!
Preparation Phase l Getting the Idea – Make sure nobody steals it! Contact the loyal people first so that it is clear to everybody this is your idea. l Consortium – A mixture of loyal people, famous people, people from industry and people from Eastern Europe.
Outline Proposal l The transition stage between preparation phase and writing phase. Much easier to get people interested in an outline proposal than a full proposal because this is where science is done. l CALCULATE LOTS OF TIME – Outline proposal should be ready at least 3 months before call deadline – if possible
Writing Phase l IT IS ALL ABOUT ANSWERING QUESTIONS – THE TRICK IS TO KNOW WHICH QUESTIONS – The Workprogram (for the specific section you are applying in) – SECTION EVALUATION CRITERIA!!!!! – This is essentially the questions asked to the external experts during the refereeing. – Guide for proposers (for the specific section you are applying in)
Good Luck! For more information on how to book my oneday workshop: http: //www. bodilcampenhausen. de
