B.4 Dissemination, Exploitation, Open science and Research Data Management in HE (Bergen)

This 1-day course gives an introduction to horizontal issues in Horizon Europe that can help maximising the impact of your research project.  During the course both proposal writing and project management phases will be covered.  The course focuses on four main issues: exploitation of project results and IP management; how to tailor an effective disseminate and communication plan to maximise the potential impact of your Horizon Europe project; how to comply with open science requirements and options; finally, what to consider for effective research data management.

The course language is English, and the course is delivered by Europa Media.
