This in-person session will put theory into practice. Using real proposal scenarios, participants will engage in hands-on exercises that pertain to various parts of the proposal. We will take you through aspects such as AI use in proposal writing, understanding the ‘pathways to impact’ and how to exploit them, and managing the risks and barriers in your proposed work. Expert feedback and peer discussions will help solidify your understanding of the proposal writing process. Please note, attendance at this session is conditional upon viewing of the videos (Part 1).
