The EU Grant Writer's AI Playbook: 18 recipes for Horizon Europe and ERC proposals - with the evidence of 70+ real evaluation reports (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798188144135)

Most grant-writing advice is folklore. This book is built on documents.

Across 79 real EU evaluations - the official verdicts panels sent back - 576
reviewer criticisms tell one story, and it is not the one writers brace for. In all
576, the word "wrong" never appears. What appears instead is "not sufficiently" (64
times), "lack" (49), "not adequately" (29), "not fully" (31), "unclear" (29).
Panels rarely say the idea is mistaken. They say you have not shown enough. This
book is about closing that gap.

The EU Grant Writer's AI Playbook turns years of professional EU proposal writing
into 18 practical recipes across six phases, from go/no-go to submission. Each
recipe gives you the method, a copy-ready AI prompt, a quality checklist, and the
mistakes professionals actually make. One fictional consortium - NOVA-Grid - runs
through the whole book, from first reading of the call to pressing submit.

AI carries the mechanical half: decoding funder templates, structuring drafts,
rehearsing a hostile reviewer. The judgment stays yours - and every step carries
an AI-input tag telling you what is safe in a public tool like ChatGPT, what must
be sanitized first, and what belongs only in a privacy-preserving workspace.

For grant writers, research offices, consultants, and coordinators working on
Horizon Europe, ERC, MSCA, and national schemes.
