IndTech Brokerage Event on April 1
Co-applying a Horizon European Research Proposal with Young Researchers
Are you a young researcher with groundbreaking ideas? Or an industry leader looking for the right partners to co-apply for European-funded projects? This is your chance to connect, collaborate, and secure funding!
IndTech Graduate School is organizing the brokerage event, co-applying a Horizon European Research Proposal with Young Researchers.
The young research from IDT and EST schools of Mälardalen University will present a well-formulated proposal and potential partners in the brokerage event, If you are struggling to apply for a European-funded project, whether it is to find partners, identifying the right call and expand your network. You have two hours to interact with them for matchmaking, networking and exchange.
You can also join the lecture from the senior research managers regarding the experience and knowledge, everything you need to know about applying for the European Horizon project before the brokerage event. (9:30-10:30)

This event is affiliated with the IndTech Graduate School course: Writing a Horizon European Project Proposal
Course information
The purpose of the course is for the doctoral students to get involved and gain experience in leading research applications to Horizon Europe.
The course includes:
Lectures on Horizon Europe and methods for coordinating and writing applications for collaborative, industry-research applications. Training to acquire skills for and experience of Horizon Europe and method for coordinating and writing applications. To get the PhD students to coordinate and lead an application, involve companies and researchers. To write an application that can be submitted to the course. Create an account on the portal, how to find a topic (Topic) through the “seek funding” function, reflect on how to create a consortium, actually do this, and in writing: how to meet the Section 1 criteria and SMART objectives, How to formulate outcomes and wider impact – vs results, how to write so that the evaluator can follow the thread in each direction, how to formulate work packages, familiarizing with the WBS.
IndTech Partner Volvo sponsors this course through Volvo APP funding.
Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) is a world-leading manufacturer of construction machinery such as wheel loaders, articulated haulers, and excavators. Volvo CE has a long track record of collaboration with MDU.
