13.2.2026

Representatives of the University took part in a practical workshop dedicated to various aspects of developing competitive project proposals under the Horizon Europe programme.

On 10 February, 2026, the online practical workshop “Writing Competitive Horizon Europe Proposals (2026)” was held within the framework of the UK-UA Horizon Europe Support Initiative, supported by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO).

The event focused on the practical aspects of preparing competitive project proposals for the Horizon Europe programme for 2026. Participants received a step-by-step explanation of the proposal development logic, evaluation criteria, and the requirements for the Excellence, Impact, and Implementation sections.

Particular attention was paid to:

• the differences between project types: RIA (Research and Innovation Action), IA (Innovation Action), and CSA (Coordination and Support Action);
• the evaluators’ approach to assessing proposals;
• building a convincing argument in line with the call challenges and expected outcomes;
• communication, dissemination, and exploitation of results.

Representing Luhansk Taras Shevchenko National University at the event were Iryna V. Myhovych, Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences, Professor, Head of the International Relations Office, and Liudmyla A. Ovcharova, Head of the International Education Sector of the International Relations Office.

Participation in the workshop will contribute to further strengthening the University’s institutional capacity in preparing project proposals for EU programmes, expanding international partnerships, and attracting grant funding for the implementation of research and educational initiatives.
