Is the deadline for a funding application coming up and are you finding it hard to translate your great ideas into a reasoned and convincing application? Then look no further than the Research Support Office’s writing cafe, a writing haven where you can bring your good ideas and your computer. Here you will find two advisers from the Research Support Office waiting to answer your questions about e.g. interpreting a foundation’s assessment criteria, or about specific formulations, drawing up a budget or searching a research funding database.
The informal form – where you just turn up without a reservation – is inspired by the popular homework cafes in the Danish schools. Anne Birgitte Lindgren, who is an adviser at the Research Support Office, explains.
"We want to create a forum where the researchers can concentrate on the writing process. You need to be able to really concentrate on immersing yourself in an application, and that can be difficult in the office, where many other tasks need your attention. At the writing cafe, all you have to concentrate on is your application. Moreover, there’s also a helping hand for different parts of the application," says Anne Birgitte Lindgren.
The writing cafe is intended for researchers who already have a project and know which foundation they are applying to. This means that the writing cafe is not the place to find help with a financing strategy or an individual bibliometric analysis. These services are tailored to the individual researcher and are provided by the Research Support Office.
There will be free refreshments with tea, coffee, water and snacks.
