On April 29, 2020, KNRTU hosted a webinar‘European Granting Foundations for R&D Commercialization’ for PhD students in Engineering under Erasmus+ Jean Monnet Module “The European Union Entrepreneurial Environment at HEIs: Changing the World by Technology Ventures”.
The workshop focused on R&D commercialization programs in the EU.
The module coordinator and leader DilbarSultanova gave a presentation on fund raising and writing applications for calls from international granting foundations where the Russian engineering MSc and PhD students can participate. She gave students a practical experience of composing grant applications by introducing the basics of filling in a logical framework matrix. Some students sent their drafts to her, and Dilbar Sultanova provided feedback by evaluating them.
Director of KNRTU International Affairs Anna Ebel gave a presentation on DAAD academic mobility programs, types of programs, eligibility criteria, and deadlines for applications.
Chair of Department of Foreign Languages for Professional Communication Julia Ziyatdinova presented information about the Horizon 2020 program to commercialize R&D results in the EU small innovative enterprises, and about Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions - Research Fellowship Programme.She also gave an overview of Erasmus+ academic mobility and Erasmus+ Youth programs.
Associate Professor of Physical and Colloidal Chemistry Department Artem Bezrukov shared his experience of an expert in international granting foundations. He clarified the selection criteria. He also gave hints and tips of a successful application.
The webinar gathered around 100 PhD students. Hopefully, this format of webinars will be introduced into the PhD curriculum as such eventscan contribute to R&D commercialization and a two-way technology transfer between the EU and Russia.
