Resources for Researchers
Practical guides and tools for EBF UK faculty members and collaborators.
Grant Writing
Guides coming soon — currently in development.
The following resources are planned:
- How to write a VEGA proposal — step-by-step guide for the most common EBF grant application
- APVV General Call guide — navigating Slovakia’s largest competitive research fund
- Horizon Europe for SSH researchers — how theological and humanities research fits into Cluster 2
- Budget preparation basics — what funders expect and common mistakes to avoid
Narrative CVs
Narrative CVs are increasingly required by European funders (including Horizon Europe). Unlike traditional CVs that list publications and positions, a narrative CV tells the story of your research journey — contributions, impact, collaboration, and future direction.
→ Read the Narrative CV Guide — what a narrative CV is, why funders require them, the four standard sections, and tips for EBF UK researchers. (Slovenská verzia: Príručka k naratívnemu CV.)
