The MWP-ACO Conference will gather together representatives of European and national funding agencies, professors and young academics to discuss on research schemes and grants available to international researchers in the Social Sciences and Humanities.

The speakers will provide the audience with information about opportunities which are directly aimed at early-career scholars.

The event will also enable the ACO team to offer the most up to date information on these schemes globally to post docs by uploading the details of the scheemes on the ACO website.

The last part of the conference will focus on top tips for grant-writing. The presenters will share with the audience the details about application procedures and some practical tips to successfully apply for research funding.

After the presentations, there will be time for individual consultations with the speakers.
