Join C-DICE and Energy Research Accelerator (ERA) for a focused one-hour session designed to show researchers how AI can support every stage of the grant-writing process.
Competition for grant funding is tougher than ever. AI can be a powerful tool in helping you to find funding, optimise your applications and strengthen your bids – but only if you use it wisely and know how to prompt properly! In this interactive workshop, you will learn how AI tools can support grant writing across the whole process, from shaping initial ideas to polishing final drafts. We’ll explore practical AI prompts that save time and enhance clarity, while addressing ethical considerations and funder’s expectations.
By the end of the session, you’ll leave with hands-on strategies, prompts, and confidence to use AI responsibly and effectively in your next funding application.

Friday 30 January 2026, 12:30-13:30, Online via Zoom
