Following the success of the 1st and 2nd Proposal Writing workshops for social sciences that was organized in Cairo and in Mansoura by the Cairo Liaison Office of Freie Universität Berlin and as we believe in the strong potential that is available outside of Egypt’s capital, this time the workshop moved to the Pearl of the Mediterranean, the beautiful city of Alexandria.

In partnership with the Alexandria University - Career Development Center (CDCE), the Cairo Office successfully organized the third workshop that was again co-instructed by Dr. Riham Bahi, Associate Prof. of Political Sciences at the Faculty of Economics and Political Sciences, Cairo University and Dr. Mustafa Abdalla, Research Associate at the Institute of Social and Cultural Anthropology, Freie Universität Berlin. The workshop gave the participants an overview on the essentials of proposal writing including tips and tricks on what to do to increase their chances of writing a successful proposal. The skills learned during this workshop included not only proposal writing but also research designing. Participants also learnt how to apply what they learned to writing research papers, dissertations, projects and/or grants. The overview on the German funding landscape with hands on example of an actual call for proposals of a German funding institution was another highlight of the workshop.

Due to the reported success of this workshop and due to public demand the Cairo Liaison office is currently planning the next workshop. Stay tuned to our Facebook page to find out where we will be moving next time!
