Departing from Susana’s and our own experiences, possible frustrations and thrilling successes, we will discuss and exchange what makes a good, a viable and a fundable research idea, if these three are the same, and how to give shape and develop from idea we want to pursue to project funders cannot but support. Other possible issues we may deliberate: the challenges of our subjects and research agendas, interdisciplinary collaboration, the formation of international networks in our small areas to apply together … and what CT can do to support and assist.

All are welcome.
