The Santander Group and the Compostela Group of Universities are organising jointly a one-day workshop on the Role of the Framework 7 Advisor on November 17th 2009 in Brussels at the SG Office.

The workshop is also open to non-member universities.

The Workshop is designed for Senior Research Managers/Officers or those responsible for submitting proposals for funding from the 7th Framework Programme with the aim to improve their knowledge and skills in co-ordinating the FP 7 projects.

The Workshop will be led by Dr. Sean McCarthy who specialises in the development and delivery of training courses for research managers. Since 1997, Dr. McCarthy has presented training courses to 25,000 participants in over 250 research centres in 27 countries. He has been involved in over 150 EU R&D Proposals, over 50 contracts and managed 16 of these. He has also acted as scientific evaluator for 10 different EU R&D Programmes.

The Workshop is based on Dr. McCarthy’s 27 years of experience in proposal writing, project management and project administration of EU R&D contacts.
