🧠 ❓Grant proposal Impact Section: do you know what evaluators want? Our internal independent expert recently analyzed AI research projects. One thing is clear: the societal impact is often poorly understood. Many proposals remain vague, without indicators or a concrete action plan. To convince, you must at least: - Identify specific target groups - Define a geographic area - Quantify the expected effects - Use scientific measurement methods Without these elements, promises remain hollow. Be specific. This is the key to making your projects have a real impact. We’ll be hosting a free 45-minute webinar where I'll break down: - The most common mistakes and real examples of what not to do - What and you should specify - Live Q&A to solve your questions Perfect for: Research teams and Europe department Limited spots.

🔍 Inside Horizon Europe Impact Section Experts’ Mind: Impact Section Red Flags Hear from an evaluator that recently reviewed Research & Innovation AI projects and her point of view about the quality of proposals regarding the impact section. Here’s a short extract from a Q&A session on impact section in research projects, and the worst impact pitfalls we see way too often: 🚩 Generic statements that could apply to any project 🚩 Impact sections that read like wishful thinking 🚩 Vague claims with zero measurable outcomes 🚩 AI-generated lists without genuine reflection or strategic prioritization Don’t assume impact is obvious, even in areas like climate tech or health Personal reflection remains essential to stand out. Understanding what evaluators are looking for is crucial to develop a strong and compelling proposal. Want to know how to concretely transform your impact section from 👎🏼 to 👍🏼? We’ll be hosting a free 45-minute webinar where I'll break down: - The most common mistakes - Real examples of what not to do - Proven strategies evaluators love - Live Q&A to solve your specific questions Perfect for: Research teams and Europe department Limited spots.

🔎 Comment réinventer l'utilisation des matériaux pour une meilleure circularité ? C’est la question que nous nous sommes posée avec des experts de divers horizons lors de l’atelier de co-définition de problématique sur The Future of Materials for Circularity pour lancer l’appel à collaboration sur le sujet, co-organisé avec Université PSL. 🌟 Quels enjeux pour ces matériaux d’innovation ? Les matériaux d’innovation, avec leurs propriétés physiques inédites et leur potentiel d’application, ont été au cœur des discussions. Ensemble, nous avons exploré leurs impacts sur des défis majeurs comme le réemploi, la gestion des ressources, le recyclage, les potentielles innovations technologiques et bien plus encore. 🎯 Les temps forts de l’atelier : - Identification des enjeux sociaux et environnementaux prioritaires - Échanges sur les secteurs d’application variés : de l’architecture durable à la mode, en passant par l’industrie de la construction - Co-construction d’une problématique commune pour cadrer le lancement de l’appel à collaboration 🌍 Un début d’écosystème multidisciplinaire : - Recherche scientifique et innovation technologique - Architecture et urbanisme durables - Mode et matériaux alternatifs - Économie circulaire et gestion des ressources - Solutions industrielles pour la durabilité 🫵 Voici le défi que nous vous proposons de relever : Nous cherchons des matériaux structurés multi-usages dont la vocation est de se substituer, voire d’améliorer les matériaux existants dans l’objectif d'accroître leur circularité en garantissant une mise à l’échelle économiquement viable, techniquement faisable et durable. 💡 Et maintenant ? Nous allons très prochainement ouvrir l’appel à candidatures : si vous pensez pouvoir contribuer à cette problématique et que vous avez un projet ou une expertise à proposer, likez ce post pour être informé(e) dès son ouverture officielle dans quelques jours ! 🚀 👉 Votre avis compte ! Quels autres enjeux voyez-vous comme essentiels pour ces matériaux innovants ? N’hésitez pas à partager vos idées en commentaire et tagger de potentiels intéressés. ✨ Merci à tous les experts pour cette journée inspirante ! Nous avons hâte de partager avec vous les résultats de ce projet et de continuer cette belle aventure ensemble.
