Final call for our free webinar: Teaming for Excellence

With an upcoming 1st stage deadline on April 10th, Teaming for Excellence is a funding opportunity that supports the creation of new centers of excellence or the modernization of existing ones in Widening countries. This call for proposals follows a two-stage deadline model making it an excellent opportunity to “test the water” and receive feedback on the concept of your proposal, only investing in developing a full proposal if you pass to the second stage.

Join our upcoming free live webinar on January 30th, 2025, at 10:30 CET! We’ll clarify what the evaluation of the 1st stage focuses on, discuss the role of the research component in Teaming actions, and offer our top tips for constructing a solid Teaming for Excellence proposal.

You can reserve your spot using the following link, and as always, you are welcome to invite your fellow colleagues to join as well.
