(in Polish) Obtaining Grants - Lecture 1800-SZD-NP-PG-W
This course prepares participants for the competitive and challenging process of grant writing, focusing on strategies for resilience, ambition, and effective collaboration. Students will learn to navigate rejection with perspective, improve their proposals through constructive feedback, and approach grant competitions with a balance of confidence and adaptability. Emphasis will be placed on developing compelling, original, and meaningful research ideas through thorough pre-research and critical engagement with existing literature. Participants will also explore the importance of cooperation, balanced ambition, and iterative refinement of ideas while avoiding common pitfalls in interdisciplinary research such as uncritical replication of existing research designs or focus on topics that are only relatable for a small circle of disciplinary specialists.
