Language tools for effective project writing

This course aims to help researchers improve their writing skills in English within the context of project proposals. The training will be eminently practical, giving examples of good and bad writing, paying special attention to grammatical, structural and stylistic aspects. The course will follow the different sections of a typical proposal (H2020) and provide attendees with the language tools necessary to produce clear, concise and easy-to-read texts.

This 12-hour course will combine live sessions (Zoom) and practical tasks (Google classroom).
