Spring Training Course for Project Proposal Writing – Multi-national Science and Technology Projects
Dear young scientists,
As you are at the early stages of your bright career, you might be feeling that you would probably have your latest project proposal supported if you had a little support with you. Or maybe it was not because your idea was not bright, but the way it was presented was not outstanding.
Sure, you will collect necessary understanding and expertise over time, probably a couple of years if not decades. This timewise cost is too much to burden.
We assure you; the most prominent scientists with numerous project proposals earned acceptance and support and completed their projects with great success, they have been through the same difficulties at their early stages. During “Spring School and Educational Courses” at ICSM 2020, some of these well-experienced scientists from all around the world particularly from Europe, the UK, and the USA will be sharing their accumulated knowledge and skills in project preparation, management, and the evaluation.
The training course is part of our multi-national main conference of “ICSM 2020 – International Conference on Superconductivity and Magnetism” and will take place just before the main conference in the same venue. You will have a chance of meeting and talking to remarkable scientists from various countries during the Spring School and as well as the conference.
The aim of the course:
We run this training course to teach and train young scientists with a high degree of enthusiasm in preparing project proposals in scientific and technological fields, especially for superconductivity and magnetism related areas.
Dates and duration of the course:
The courses will start at 9 am on the 15th of April 2021 and finish at 1 pm on the 17th of April 2021. In two and a half days, there will be 5 lectures in the morning and 3 lectures in the afternoon. Also, an hour for interactive discussion sessions will be held in the evenings of the first two days.
