Grant Writing Trainings

We offer recurring grant writing courses on “How to prepare successful grant proposals” to doctoral students, researchers and scientific collaborators.

EDOC course for PhD students

This 1-ECTS course is offered each autumn and gives PhD students guidance on the fundamentals of proposal writing as well as hands-on composing their own proposal, including peer-review exercises.

Course for Postdocs

This lecture aims to guide EPFL postdocs and staff scientists in finding appropriate funding opportunities and provide bascis of grant writing. Complementary sessions allow to write a ready-to-submit proposal, and to give and receive feedback from peers.

Self-learning e-course

This self-paced e-course provides practical advice on narrative grant writing, through video lectures and interviews with EPFL grant coaches, communication specialists and professors.

Additional courses:

  • Roundtable on preparing collaborative proposals: Funders increasingly emphasize collaborative approaches to research projects. The process of writing such collaborative proposals might seem like a daunting and overwhelming task to researchers. Join us and talk with experts with a track record in securing collaborative proposal funding. 
  • On-demand courses: we offer customized grant writing courses for groups of EPFL researchers (for example as part of training programs, workshops or retreats). Please contact us directly with your request!
