The workshop is designed with a practical approach, guiding participants through the full process from funding discovery and selection of promising funding calls to the development of concrete project proposals.

Time: 09:00 - 12:00, Tuesday, September 22, 2026

Workshop Program

Session 1 – Pivot-RP Funding Discovery

Speaker: Ms. Dju-Lyn Chng, Strategic Customer Success Consultant, APAC Academia & Government – Clarivate

In this session, participants will learn how to use the Pivot-RP database to identify funding opportunities relevant to their research areas and practice using keywords, filters, and semantic search to improve search effectiveness, with support from RDGE.

Working & Discussion Session

Following the first session, faculty members and Research Groups will work together to review, discuss, and select 1–2 promising funding calls that match their research directions and capabilities. These selected calls will then serve as the basis for developing project ideas and proposals in the Grant Writing session.

Session 2 – Grant Writing

Speaker: Assoc. Prof. Trinh Tu Anh, Rector, Institute of Smart City and Management – UEH

Building on the selected funding calls, participants will be guided on how to develop funding opportunities into concrete project ideas and proposals. Assoc. Prof. Trinh Tu Anh will also share practical experience in preparing, refining, and submitting funding proposals.

Through the workshop, participants are expected to become more confident in searching for and assessing funding calls, selecting opportunities aligned with their research interests, developing them into proposals, and preparing and submitting project applications in practice.

UEH particularly encourages Heads/Co-Heads and members of Research Groups, as well as faculty members interested in pursuing international research funding, to participate in the full workshop.
