Securing external funding is a crucial skill for advancing your research career, yet the process can often seem daunting. In this interactive seminar, specifically designed for PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, and early career researchers in business and management, we demystify the grant application process and share practical, proven strategies to enhance your success.
