Real insights from the frontline: what works, what fails, and what to fix before you submit.

The first major wave of proposals under the Horizon Europe 2026 rules is now behind us and the gap between theory and practice is clearer than ever.

Based on Martel’s hands-on experience with over 50 proposals submitted in 2026, our CEO, Dr Monique Calisti, will share practical insights into what works, what does not, and where applicants are still making critical mistakes.

This webinar is a practical debrief from the front line of proposal writing, highlighting the risks that can compromise your submission under the new rules.

During the session, we will cover:

• why reusing old templates and narratives is a major risk;
• how the new structure requires a different writing approach from the start;
• what the most common pitfalls are;
• the increased complexity of lump-sum proposals;
• last-minute changes, submission risks, and EC Portal challenges;
• the real role and limitations of generative AI in proposal writing.

This is a focused webinar to help individuals and organisations to prepare for upcoming Horizon Europe submissions and avoid costly mistakes.
