What should you do before the call opens

The Postdoctoral Fellowship call for 2024 is about to open in a few days, but you can start working on your project already now. Here are a couple of tips on where to start...
You need to collect a lot of data to design your proposal in a way that will be credible to your evaluators and will get high scores. The more specific you are in your project ideas, the more convincing you will be. So, try to learn as much as possible not only about your topic but also about your host institution and yourself.

I just found this channel and I am so grateful. We live in rural Bulgaria and there are so many projects that can be done here (empowering Roma children, renovating old houses, cleaning the roads, animal protection). We have been living here for 9 years and completed some projects using our own money, however, I now see our needs for larger funds to keep going in a more effective way and on a larger scale. Thank you 🙏🏽

I know, Shira1976, there is so much still to work on to improve live in many regions across the EU. Thanks for your comments. Radka

How can I contact you?

[@allaboutprojects]

@@Shira1976 I only help with postdoctoral fellowships, Shira1976. If you want to contact me directly, use Linked in Radka Pittner :-)

Such a good channel, I am shocked that it has only a few hundred subscribers.

[@allaboutprojects]

You are very kind, I am glad if it helps :-)

Hello Radka. Thanks for sharing. Interesting topic, nice fabric. I wish you had many more subscribers.

[@allaboutprojects]

Thanks @petr5313 for your comment and your wishes. I guess if I would be more focussed on this work, the number of subscribers would grow. But.. Fabrics and design are my passion, so it´s difficult to divide my time between this channel and all my other activities. But with the call coming I will create more for tis channel as well 🙂. Let me know if you plan to submit some proposal.. Every inspiration helps in getting ideas for a new content. Thanks Radka

Hello Radka, thank you very much for this video! I am considering applying for this fellowship this year and I would like to know if you would have a timeline to suggest for preparing the full application with the different steps for the next months? (maybe you already talk about this in a video?). Thank you :)

[@allaboutprojects]

Thank you for your comment, Axelle. Good question, I will prepare a video on that :-) Thanks for inspiration!
