SITES Launches New Masterclass on Social Network Analysis for Horizon Europe Proposal Writing
At Sustainable Innovation Technology Services Ltd (SITES), we believe that successful Horizon Europe proposals begin long before the writing process. They start with building the right partnerships, understanding collaboration ecosystems, and making evidence-based strategic decisions.
To support researchers, innovators, universities, SMEs, and project managers across Europe, SITES is launching a new online masterclass:
Social Network Analysis (SNA) for Horizon Europe Proposal Writing
Hosted by Jeny Edward Christopher, Research & Innovation Consultant at SITES and Master’s researcher in Management of Information Systems & Digital Innovation at the University of Chester, this practical session introduces participants to one of the most valuable methodologies for designing stronger research consortia.
Participants will discover how Social Network Analysis can transform proposal preparation by helping to:
- Identify influential research partners
- Analyse collaboration networks across Europe
- Strengthen consortium design
- Support evidence-based proposal development
- Integrate network analysis into Excellence, Impact and Implementation sections
- Use practical tools such as Gephi, NetworkX and CORDIS datasets
Rather than relying on assumptions, participants will learn how to use research evidence and collaboration data to make strategic partnership decisions.
The masterclass combines theory with practical demonstrations and real Horizon Europe examples, providing immediately applicable techniques for research proposal development.
