Erika Lilja: Crafting a Strong Impact Section for a Horizon Europe Proposal

The Impact section accounts for one third of the evaluation score in a Horizon Europe proposal, making it a critical factor in the success of an application. This practical session will explore how to develop a clear and convincing impact narrative, align project outcomes with the expected impacts of the call, and demonstrate the project’s relevance, uptake, and long-term value. Participants will gain very practical tips and examples for strengthening the Impact section.

Speaker: Erika Lilja, PhD in Administrative Sciences, Open Science Group Manager, Quality of Information Unit, Finnish Environment Institute (Syke).
