Tailored training to
match your needs.
EUSEA has launched a new Skill Training Programme – a series of short, hands-on sessions designed to strengthen practical skills in science engagement.
Each session focuses on doing, not just discussing: participants dive into focused activities that build expertise in areas like event design, storytelling, facilitation, partnership-building, evaluation, and more.
✔️ Compact & accessible: Each training is a stand-alone, half-day session that you can fit easily into your schedule.
✔️ Interactive & practical: Learn from experienced practitioners and walk away with tools you can apply immediately.
✔️ Community-driven: Sessions are designed by and for the EUSEA community – shaped by real needs and shared experiences.
Whether you’re a science communicator, museum educator, researcher, or student eager to expand your toolkit, this programme offers a fresh way to learn, connect, and grow.
- Open to everyone, with reduced fees for EUSEA members.
- We’ll begin with a few pilot trainings to test and refine the format.
- This is your chance to highlight the skills you want to learn and suggest trainers (including yourself!).
- To ensure transparency, Board members and Office staff won’t deliver the pilots -instead, external trainers and nominated members will be invited
- The cost of the training is as follows:
- EUSEA Member- 100 EUR
- Non-Member – 350 EUR
- I hereby confirm that I am becoming a member starting in 2026 – 100 EUR

Using AI for EU funding applications
by Eric Jensen from the Institute for Methods Innovation
Feb 05 2026, 09:30-12:30 CET
AI can speed up the grant-writing process, but without the right skills, it can produce generic or off-target proposals that fail to convince funders. This practical workshop shows you how to use AI tools such as ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot to streamline your workflow, strengthen your arguments, and produce polished, funder-focused applications. You will learn how to shape persuasive narratives, tailor content to funder requirements, and use AI to simplify complex ideas while maintaining accuracy and credibility. This training session will focus in particular on EU funding proposals, particularly those under Horizon Europe.
Key topics covered in this training session include:
• A step-by-step process to plan, draft, and refine proposals with AI.
• Methods to align applications with funder priorities.
• Strategies to simplify complex ideas without losing depth.
• Ways to use AI for data, visuals, and supporting evidence.
• Ethical guidelines to ensure originality, accuracy, and attribution.
