The UNITE.Widening project team invites you to the “Strategic Areas Workshops”, which will be held under the theme “Strengthening circularity and climate resilience through EU-funded research” on 8 April 2026 in Wrocław. The aim of the workshops is to present the principles of application preparation in the Horizon Europe programme, provide an overview of available funding opportunities, and enable teamwork on project concepts. The workshops cover the project’s strategic areas: Urban & Resources Sustainability and Circular Economy & Materials.
The workshops are part of a series of events organized within the project and dedicated to research communities working in the four strategic areas of the project. Their aim is to provide substantive support in the process of successfully applying for research projects and to build consortia capable of submitting high-quality proposals with a strong chance of receiving funding. An added value of both workshops is networking and the opportunity to establish long-term collaboration with researchers within these strategic areas.
As part of the event, two complementary workshops are planned:
- The first workshop: Proposal Preparation – Principles and Framework will be a joint session for communities from both areas, particularly from Wrocław Tech and ULisboa. Its purpose is to present the programme’s objectives, the current calls available for both areas, and good practices in proposal writing. Participants will have the opportunity to become familiar with the basic principles of application preparation and with best practices that will serve as a foundation for further work.
- The second workshop: Proposal Development – Practical Lab will take the form of a practical, on-site session. It will focus on presenting and discussing project concepts, as well as building consortia for specific calls.
Both workshops will be held in a hybrid format and conducted in English.
