Opportunities and support
Ghent University Funding Academy
The Faculty of Sciences supports the Ghent University Funding Academy. The Ghent University Funding Academy works as a one-stop-shop for all activities organised to inform, train, coach and advise researchers in developing grant proposals. Its overall aim is to make available existing expertise, level knowledge and skills for all researchers, and increase the quality of grant writing. This initiative creates a network of grant advisors, experts and policy officers from various Ghent University central and faculty departments. This should increase Ghent University’s average success rates in different funding schemes.
