Writing Impact with Vision: How to Convince the evaluators (20 January 2026) 

The Impact section is where many proposals stumble — not because they lack innovation potential, but because proposal writers struggle to express it. This 60-minute webinar helps you turn innovation into visionary ideas. We’ll guide you through what evaluators actually want (hint: not a repetition of what you will do in the project) and how to connect your idea with Europe’s big goals.

Expect clear advice, successful examples, and a few laughs along the way.

Participants will learn:

• What the EU means by "impact" and why it matters
• How to design a credible and measurable impact strategy without sounding like ChatGPT
• Tools and methods for exploitation, dissemination, and sustainabilityTips for KPIs, exploitation plans, and credible storytelling
• Common traps (like random number generation) and how to avoid them​​​​​​​

⏱️ Duration: approx. 1 hour
💻 Format: Online & interactive | Q&A included
🎯 Target Group: Startups, SMEs, researchers, and proposal writers

Both sessions are designed to be concise, clear, and interactive – because writing Horizon Europe proposals is challenging enough without boring webinars.

The Steinbeis Europa Zentrum supports research institutions and companies and, on behalf of the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Economic Affairs, Labour, and Tourism, provides funding and application advice to small and medium-sized enterprises, start-ups, and scale-ups based in Baden-Württemberg in particular, as well as assisting with transnational technology transfer and partner search.

For a personal and free initial consultation on EU funding in Horizon Europe, we encourage you to fill out our questionnaire at https://www.innocheck-bw.de/home-1-de.

This will enable us to assess your planned innovation project and the innovation potential of your project idea.

We look forward to your participation!
