The is the first ordinary episode of The Grant podcast. I start building a batch of generic episodes covering each phase of preparing an EU R&amp;D funding proposal from the initial idea is born until submitting the final proposal to the EU Commission. I have labelled this The Timeline Series. Here in the first Timeline Series episode I dig into the basic project idea and what to be aware of when considering applying for EU funding. The episode covers the origin of an idea; strenght of the idea; European added value; has it been done before?; duration of the project and time to contract; marketability and replicability of the idea; funding rates; and the aspect of project partners.&nbsp;
The episode contains advice within the mentioned categories above and gives insights into the most important things to be aware of.&nbsp;

#3 Identify the funding - The Timeline Series (2)

Getting EU funding for your research project idea is great, but the process from project idea to submission of the full proposal is rough and tough. 20.000 proposals are submitted every year and every single one of these preparations goes through many challenges. Most of these challenges have the same overall characteristics, that can be minimized or eliminated by being aware of them already when starting the proposal process. This podcast is for proposals preparers looking for tips, tricks, advice or just an audible pad on the shoulder to deal with the unavoidable tough work
