Recommendation for a succesful proposal
̶clear and exact definition of the problem to be solved
̶theoretical basis of the research (or following the activities that have already been carried out
in the research area)
̶within the description of the methodology, specify well the research strategy, methods and their
specific use research objectives clearly formulated
̶describe the schedule of individual research steps
̶in case of data collection, indicate the sample size
̶clearly formulate research objectives
̶to plan better outputs, with the ambition of their publication in a quality foreign magazine (it
is better to prepare a working paper with the ambition to publish it in a prestigious magazine in
the future than a lower quality proceeding papers)
̶focus on conferences thematically defined and corresponding to your research
̶adequate budget requirements and efficient allocation of funds
