The European Project SURRI (Sustainable Remediation of Radionuclide Impacts on Land and Critical Materials Recovery) has published a series of podcasts to understand more about EU project proposal building. They share the differences about different funding calls, how to build consortia, proposal writing and the evaluation process. These resources are free to access and are available from the SURRI homepage. These resources are particularly pertinent as the EU Horizon calls have just opened and UK partners are eligible to participate.
