The Pre-award Research Support Centre (in Croatian: CPP) at the University Centre for Research and Innovation was established to strengthen the participation of University of Rijeka scientists in competitive scientific projects.
The Centre’s primary focus is on supporting researchers’ applications to the Horizon Europe programme, Europe’s largest transnational programme for research and innovation, and national research projects of the Croatian Science Foundation.
What we do
Pre-award research support procedure includes individual counseling of scientists in the entire process of preparing project proposals, which includes:
• Providing information about funding opportunities within the Horizon Europe programme and the Croatian Science Foundation,
• Advising on filling out project forms,
• Assistance and consultation in the preparation of parts of the application that are not specifically related to the scientific component of the project proposal,
• Providing assistance and guidance in the preparation of the project budget,
• Pre-screening of the entire project application and consultation on possible improvements,
• Providing support in the use of application systems and online tools.
The Centre organizes:
• Informative events about relevant calls and application conditions for open tenders,
• Workshops and consultations where you can acquire useful knowledge and skills for the preparation of a project proposal.
By participating in our events, you will receive crucial information, instructions, and clarifications that will help you decide whether a certain tender is the most suitable for your research idea. In this way, you will get help and support in planning the project proposal and save time in finding a suitable tender for your project idea.
Contact the Centre on time to give us enough time to review and make possible improvements to the project documentation.
