Brilliant project idea - successful proposal?
Writing compelling project proposals

Starting point

A good project idea does not automatically make a project proposal successful. Rather, a whole range of aspects of the proposal submission process determine whether a project is funded or rejected. The better the applicants address these aspects, the better they can sell their ideas and set themselves apart from the mass of competing proposals.

Aim

Participants will receive sound guidance on how to write high quality proposals. You will learn about:

  1. Planning and conceptual development,
  2. Design and structure as well as
  3. Presentational and linguistic peculiarities of proposals.

Content

The course provides insights into key aspects of drafting and formulating proposals:

  • Criteria for a high-quality proposal,
  • Components and content,
  • Formal requirements and expectations of the contracting authority,
  • Attractiveness and marketing aspects,
  • Persuasive project summary.

Methods

Input, discussion, small-group exercises, developing case studies. Participants are welcome to bring questions from their own experience.
