The Project Development Support Office (PDSO) has been established in the framework of EU-CONEXUS Plus. It aspires to assist the EU-CONEXUS academic community (teacher-researchers, researchers or administrative staff) working in any university of the alliance by helping them apply to external calls for proposals. Specific target groups are consortia involving a minimum of two EU-CONEXUS institutions willing to submit a collaborative research or education project in response to a European or international call. The PDSO has also put in place its own funding opportunities (i.e., Seed Funding & Project Development Fund) with the goal of enhancing collaboration among partners within the alliance.
The main goal of the office is to provide guidance to applicants during pre-award phase, by supporting them in the preparation of their applications. More specifically, the PDSO may offer support in the following aspects of project development:
On top of that, one of the objectives of the PDSO is for people from the alliance to be aware of interesting upcoming calls. Therefore, it will from time to time hold or take part in events and webinars in order to present relevant funding opportunities to the community.
