I believe in helping early-stage researchers in advancing their careers. I dedicated twenty years of my life to getting better as a consultant and mentor. My idea has always been rather to inspire than to guide. Now I see how many people are not afraid to join me in this mission. We are not perfect, we make mistakes but we learn from each other on the way.
You can advance your research career and empower your skills with the experience of others.
People working in research have accumulated a huge amount of experience during their careers and many of them are willing to help a new generation of researchers to grow. This is why we run this channel - to help you to empower your transferrable skills and make your careers grow.

💚💚💚💚
Thank you :-) Hope it helped though we are getting to the next programming period. I will make an update once the WPs are made public :-)
Hi. Is that possible to change the part B application template format. I mean font size and margins. Even shorter the title. Please give me an answer. Thank you very much.
Be careful, there is minimum size of font and also minimum margins. I would have to check the exact numbers for your. It used to be 11 pt Times new roman ... BUT don´t make your font too small or try to get as much as possible on the page, if I can advice you on that. Reviewers will only have a short time to review your project and reading documents full of texts, no paragraphs and no space is tiring. Rather than making fonts smaller, try to reduce the length of your text... again if I may give you some idea on that... USe chatGPT to suggest when you have words redundancies and you certainly can safe a lot of space
@@allaboutprojects Thank you very much for your reply
Here are the specifics - • The minimum font size allowed is 11 points. Standard character spacing and a minimum of single line spacing is to be used. This applies to the body text, including text in tables. • Text elements other than the body text, such as headers, foot/end notes, captions, formulas, etc. may deviate, but must be legible and not be less than 8 points.
the instructions on font size and margins are part of the project template....
THANKS A LOT
you´re welcome :-)
Thank you for explanation. Very helpful
please explain how can i fill about participiants ? will host professor will help me to fill all ?
Thanks for your input. Can u plz explain should I add my supervisor name by adding partner ?
Here is your turorial ua-cam.com/video/7Xm2r9uudds/v-deo.html
Can you share the template of proposal Part B please?
Hi, I can´t share files on youtube but I have uploaded the file to my linked in posts www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7231681307720708096/
Different between europian and global fellowship??
European Fellowship - you are hosted by an institution that is located in EU or associated state to the Horizon, 2 years
Global fellowship - 3 years - still hosted by EU or associated country organization BUT YOU GO FOR 2 years TO THE institution outside "Horizon Europe zone" and than return back to the "HORIZON ZONE" for one year.
BE CAREFULL - these project are not about travelling!!! They are about your research project in the context of your career growth and positive impact in favour of HORIZON EUROPE ZONE
Is it necessary to fill the employment/education/ publication sections of the person profile?
Hi. is your question related to Kusum and Jay´s offer to review a draft proposal?
If it is related, the answer is clear - by all this information you provide a context for your part B1... It helps to understand your proposal from the perspective of your experience.... So, if you want your project to ne reviewed, you gain more from providing more complete information on your project.. At the same time it will take more time for Jay and Kusum to give you some feedback...
Thank you
Jay and Kusum offer two of you their help in reviewing your proposals. If you are interested, let us know in comments. We will select proposals at the end of July 2024. Best of luck with your writing! Radka
I'm interested
I am interested :)
@@mahfoudbabaousmail4332 Hi, if you are interested, the review will make sense only if you have already covered all chapters of your proposal.. Is it ok?
@@timeyinA Hi, if you are interested, the review will make sense only if you have already covered all chapters of your proposal.. Is it ok?
@@allaboutprojects The B1 part is almost ready.
Thank you, Radka, for the useful insight and sharing your exprience.
Very encouraging, time wise, thank you, Dearest.
Thank you for your kind comments, Marina. Plan to do more once I am back home :-). Working on your Postdoctoral Fellowship project?
How thoughtful! thank you.
Thank you for this video, I have one question please, can we re-submit the same proposal again which was not funded in the previous call but crossed the threshold (70). Please comment on this. Thanks again.
Hi, thank your for your question. I will address that in short video as well with explanation. Answer is YES, if you had at least 70%. BUT be careful because to receive such score still means that there were big gaps ideantified by your evaluators in your project. If you resubmit, the new evaluators will receive both your project proposal and previous evaluation. Therefore you have to read very carefully any comment you received and update your proposal...
@@allaboutprojects Thank you for your prompt response. My score was 79 in the previous call. I hope to improve it well enough for the next call. Thank you for your suggestions. ☺
@@saqibhassan4585 That is quite good. But be careful with every word in the review... It has to be addressed and most of the time it means quite big changes in the whole project text. Fingers crossed :-) I am now processing an interview with two researchers who were successful and one of them is sharing her experience with rewriting project as well. Hope to process the video during the weekend to share it for inspiration 🙂
@@allaboutprojects Thanks Again.
Such a good channel, I am shocked that it has only a few hundred subscribers.
You are very kind, I am glad if it helps :-)
I just found this channel and I am so grateful. We live in rural Bulgaria and there are so many projects that can be done here (empowering Roma children, renovating old houses, cleaning the roads, animal protection). We have been living here for 9 years and completed some projects using our own money, however, I now see our needs for larger funds to keep going in a more effective way and on a larger scale. Thank you 🙏🏽
I know, Shira1976, there is so much still to work on to improve live in many regions across the EU. Thanks for your comments. Radka
How can I contact you?
@@Shira1976 I only help with postdoctoral fellowships, Shira1976. If you want to contact me directly, use Linked in Radka Pittner :-)
Hello Radka. Thanks for sharing. Interesting topic, nice fabric. I wish you had many more subscribers.
Thanks @petr5313 for your comment and your wishes. I guess if I would be more focussed on this work, the number of subscribers would grow. But.. Fabrics and design are my passion, so it´s difficult to divide my time between this channel and all my other activities. But with the call coming I will create more for tis channel as well 🙂. Let me know if you plan to submit some proposal.. Every inspiration helps in getting ideas for a new content. Thanks Radka
Hello Radka, thank you very much for this video! I am considering applying for this fellowship this year and I would like to know if you would have a timeline to suggest for preparing the full application with the different steps for the next months? (maybe you already talk about this in a video?). Thank you :)
Thank you for your comment, Axelle. Good question, I will prepare a video on that :-) Thanks for inspiration!
Thank you very much for the video!
Thank you for your comment, I think you add to the decision not to switch the youtube channel off. Which I just wanted to do as I am busy with lots of other things at the moment :-)
@@allaboutprojects You should keep the channel. All the information you give, is valuable (: and i appreciate it (:
@@kkaixer I will do my best, I´ve got some new ideas but I will see how I´ll manage as I start a new collaboration in a few days 🙂
@@allaboutprojects that is nice to hear. I would love to learn more about horizon. We are working on an outline right now for a blockchain tech, once we finish we will prepare a proposal (incl. for horizon as well). That's why it is nice to listen to your videos (:
Thank You. It's really helpful.

first here
So inspiring👩🎓waiting for the next)
I am sorry, I know there is a delay but I keep on struggling with technology and a bit with my health as well... I started to teach languages and a new podcast.. so just like always I tend to be engaged in too many activities at once :-) But I promise I still think about guiding people to better project proposals... 🙂
I like the idea of short videos. Keep the good work 🎉
Thanks 🙂
Great plan(s) ... I love it 🎉
Thank you :-) ... I hope I will sort out the technical problem soon but I will go on even with the lover quality videos
I am looking forward to these exciting contents. :)
thank you :-) Hope it will meet your expectations
Hello Radka, I would like to express my gratitude for the helpful information you provided in this video regarding ERC grants and the valuable links you shared. In regard to today's video, I must admit that I am not yet skilled in asking insightful questions. Nevertheless, I look forward to learning and improving in this area.
Hi Jay, thanks for your feedback.. To tell the truth, based on my experience I think that many young researchers are trained mainly in knowledge and technical skills related to their research fields and these seemingly subtle, yet very important areas are being overlooked... and that is one the areas i thought might be interesting co cover... To keep you inspired and opened to new ways of thinking 🙂 I am curious if I get more feedback on the question... Btw. I decided it would be a great fun to collect interesting questions.. I myself never thought about the importance of them before the Covid.. The fact that we couldn´t move made me stody new topics and ask new type of questions 🙂
@@allaboutprojects Yes, you are right!! and oh I forget😄, hope you have a speedy recovery👍. I am waiting for your next video which will cover your planned future video topics and your interests. Also, I would like to request to add more video interviews with successful applicants and their experiences about all the things like starting from project writing to current experience and how these grants have helped them to get their current positions.
@@JayPatel-xz9yz yes, Jay, this is exactly one thing I had in my mind.. To approach people who were successful with writing projects and interview them... But I need to find some balanced approach to this all as I also need to start to do some new things soon :-)... But I am glad this helped a bit to someone... It started as an alternative to some tedious reporting and now it seems I can make something interesting out of it 🙂
Excellent content, valuable approach.
You are very kind. Thank you for your comment 🙂
Thank you very much Radka for all your videos for 2023 call. I got a lot of help from these videos. Finally I have submitted the proposal and hoping for the best. I am sure your videos for 2024 call will also help a lot. Though I also want to request you to also start a series on guidence on ERC starting grants. It will be very helpful.
Hello Jay and thank you very much for your comment. Congrats you managed to submit and I keep fingers crossed. Please, let me know your results 🙂

ua-cam.com/video/ZAlJbHOMyQg/v-deo.html
Loved the last slide and "thought"☺
It´s a big truth I came across in some book.. and if you listened to the interview with Alena Damborska, she mentioned the same... She did a lot of thinking and only than she could write her proposal in 2 weeks :-) Absolutely agree on that 🙂
Hi, I am Pal, will apply MSCA postdoctoral fellowship this year. How will i register and submit the proposal please do a video on that topic.
Thank you for the great video. It's a great information represented in a very easy to digest way. Def subscribed!
thank you. It´s a bit old but the idea was to speak in normal language as the documents are sometimes confusing and overwhelming :-)
Thank you for the informations, may I ask if MSCA include post doc programme I want to apply in the UK? as UK has left EU.
It depends on where do you live /work at the moment.. you could do that in case yo would apply for the global fellowship but in this situation you need another organization in the EU that would employ you after the 2 years you would spend in the UK
it might need a bit deeper explanation, so I will try to record my reply in video.. the easiest... Probably tomorrow or on Monday 🙂
i m algerian doctor in materials physics can i register or no
IF you ask whether you are elligible to apply for this scheme, than the answer is YES. The condition being you have to apply through your HOST INSTITUTION in the EU.. Although you WRITE THE PROPOSAL, the only subject that CAN SUBMIT THE PROJECT proposal is the hosting institution, They have to be interested in employing you for the next 2 years.
@@allaboutprojects but among the conditions are that i must have 8 years since my having dictorat certificate
@@amirouchebouremani1213 of course, if you don: t fulfil ALL CONDITIONS for being elligible, you can´t be financed. I just replied the question you asked and that was about the country of your origin. But glad that you read the text of the call, at least you won´t waste your time on a scheme that is not for your situation... You can always create a network with your European colleagues and try another scheme within either MSCA or the rest of the Horizon.
Very nice Video! how can I contact you as a client for my application?
sorry for the late reply.. I am travelling at the moment - short break from work Is there anything particularl you would like to know?
