Ateliers Projets européens H2020 - 2014

Le monde végétal exerce depuis quelques années un attrait particulier sur les chercheur-e-s en sciences humaines et sociales, dans la continuité des études sur les comportements des végétaux. À l’ère de la déforestation massive et de la crise écologique, un nouvel espace de réflexion s’est ouvert, auquel contribuent la philosophie, le droit, l’économie, la sociologie, les études audiovisuelles, l’architecture, l’histoire ou encore les sciences politiques. Ces disciplines observent et explorent les transformations environnementales, sociales et culturelles qui s’opèrent sous leurs yeux : l’attention nouvelle portée aux arbres, aux plantes, au monde végétal en général, nous inviterait-elle à reconsidérer notre manière d’être à la nature, au monde, à la cité ? Que signifient l’intelligence ou le langage des plantes ? Qu'apprend-on à observer les forêts ? Pourquoi collaborer avec la nature et comment lui donner des droits ?

Le 12^e Printemps des sciences humaines et sociales se déroule du 17 mars au 7 avril 2020.
Il se compose de douze rencontres (conférences, ateliers, spectacle), toutes gratuites et ouvertes à toutes et à tous. Certains événements nécessitent une inscription en ligne, les places étant limitées. Merci de vous reporter au programme.

Cette manifestation est soutenue par l'Etat et le Conseil Régional Hauts-de-France dans le cadre du CPER ISI-MESHS

The workshop will be led by 2 experienced, international facilitators from the UK:

> Dr Dave Filipović-Carter, Director of Education-Training Ltd

Dave runs a higher education training company, designing and delivering training courses for researchers and academics across the UK, and the wider Europe. He works with researchers and supervisors at all levels, facilitates workshops and writes on related topics. He has previously lived and worked in this field in Bulgaria, Hungary, Macedonia and Serbia. Dave's academic background is in public international law, and he teaches law for the Open University, having previously taught at the University of Southampton and Varna Economics University (Bulgaria).

> Ben Williams, University of Leeds

Ben has been involved with preparing and running European projects from Framework Programme 5 to Horizon2020. He has worked in the University sector for most of the last 14 years and also set up a consultancy for helping regional SMEs to become involved in Framework Program funding.  He is currently Head of the EU Team at the University of Leeds where he oversees some 200 applications each year and 200 live grants across all areas of the Programme, as well as designing and implementing EU research income strategy.
Ben is a recent member of the UKRO (UK Research Office) Steering Committee and Board, the UK International Unit Community of Practice group (representing UK HEI interest in H2020) and the European Commission working group on the Participant portal IT systems. He has written and presented EU-themed presentations for the UK Association of Research Managers and Administrators (ARMA) and ModernGov, amongst others.

This 2-day workshop is designed for researchers who want to learn more about the process of designing, developing and delivering an international collaborative research proposal, and securing European funding for such projects.

The workshop will be highly participatory - researchers attending the workshop will be involved in activities and discussions, and these will focus on their own research and current or future projects they are working on. The working language of the session will be English. The 2 days of the workshop will be designed to be complementary, so ideally participants would attend both days. Each day will be structured as a continuous whole, so it will be necessary to attend for the full day, and not parts of it.

Specifically, this workshop will address:

• Designing and developing an international collaborative research project, including selecting suitable questions, methodology, case-studies, etc. as well as locating and contacting partners and collaborators
• Delivering such projects through effective planning, time-management and appropriate communication and people management
• Securing ERC funding for research projects, focussing on what makes an applicant competitive, what makes a proposal fundable and how to shape your research idea into one the ERC will fund
• How Social Science fits into Horizon 2020? Where are the relevant opportunities? What is the best strategy for involvement? How can you become involved in shaping the EU funding landscape?
