Supporting women researchers in building stronger proposals for impactful research
A five-day workshop at the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) brought together 18 early-career women researchers to strengthen their skills in designing competitive grant proposals.
Through hands-on mentoring, practice sessions, and tailored feedback, participants refined their own research ideas and learned practical techniques for securing funding. The training, organized by UEH, EfD Vietnam, and WinEED, aimed to reduce barriers women often face in research and support their path toward leading impactful research.
