This session has been organised by Edinburgh Research Office, at the University of Edinburgh.

By the end of this event, attendees will:

• Gain clarity on the application process

• Understand how to tailor their proposals to align with the funder's requirements and priorities.

While primarily aimed at those preparing to apply for the 2025 round (with a deadline of 20 February 2025), the insights shared will also benefit researchers considering future applications.
