Description:    
The course gives the necessary background to write good proposals for Horizon 2020 within the areas of Societal Changes and Leadership in Enabling and Industrial Technologies.
 
Prerequisites:
No prerequisites are required, but the course becomes more entertaining if one has an idea for a possible project and can frame this based on the information provided.
