EU Proposal Development Resources

DCU Research Support Services recently completed a cross-team project with the aim to produce new resources to support the development and submission of European funding applications, focusing on Horizon Europe and Erasmus+. The produced resources are based on a wide-ranging consultation process (including the survey and one-to-one interviews) with the University research community and other relevant stakeholders regarding the EU proposal resources mostly needed.
