A one-day workshop organized by Cairo Liaison Office and addresses graduates of social science disciplines that are aiming to pursue their postgraduate studies or their research career in Germany.

The workshop is 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 gives 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. Due to its interactive nature, it furthermore gives them the opportunity to discuss their own research proposals in working groups. Participants also learn how to apply what they learned to write research papers, dissertations, projects, and/or grants. The overview on the German funding landscape with a hands-on example of an actual call for proposals of a German funding institution is another highlight of the workshop.
