During the final training, it was discussed how to plan the budget in the application and how to justify it.

In addition, training participants were also advised to take into account possible additional expenses in order to show a real picture of the budget required for the project.
During the lesson, the attendees performed practical exercises; they were given a case with the data of the project that is actually operating today at ZNU and they had to fill out a budget form using its data, creating a pilot budget.
After completing the lesson, the participants thanked the organizers for their knowledge and assured that thanks to the trainings organized by the initiative of the university, they gained solid theoretical knowledge on creating a successful grant application and obtained the necessary skills. Now it depends on the representatives of the faculty how to translate this knowledge into practice and win the competition to improve the image policy of the faculties, the prize fund of which is 90 thousand of UAH.
