Abstract
The goal of the research is to understand the factors that determine the success of international research proposals. For this purpose, a multi-stage study will be carried out. The study will include a systematic literature review, semi-structured interviews with European Commission evaluators, and the development of the model of success determinants. Text analysis of historical proposals will enhance the knowledge of the success factors linked with applications' discourse and language. The proposed research will complement the existing literature as the study will be based on a comprehensive dataset covering all funded and rejected project applications under the European Union's Horizon 2020 Framework Program. The model will support the participation of Polish higher education institutions in European funds, whose acquisition is a key challenge for them, and provide an opportunity for the development of innovative research and international cooperation. It might also be useful for institutions in other countries, especially those that similarly to Polish institutions have a low share in acquiring European Union funds.
