ABSTRACT
Writing successful proposals for European projects is a tough task. Calls are increasingly competitive and the general quality of the proposals is extremely high. Only those with evaluation scores close to the maximum in all sections (excellence, impact and implementation) have possibilities for being funded. Writing a competitive proposal requires a great effort, planning and coordinating a group of people, typically with a variety of background and expertise. In this coffee talk researchers from different CIMNE groups with strong background on consortium creation and proposal writing will share their experience and provide key ideas to keep in mind to be efficient in these endeavors.
