On March 8th, the International Women's Day, WINGS hosted a workshop entitled 'VR application workshop',  together with Future Faculty and Career Center-Faculty of Medicine. The aim of which is to provide insights on VR application, learn for reviewers and grant proposals to both Swedish and European funders, since VR-grants are rather competitive. During the workshop there was a panel discussion moderated by Elevate Scientific, where the partcipants learned the criteria for success. 

The criteria are easy to implement and have a large impact. The workshop has been much appreciated among researchers and have been given at Lund University. 

Moderators: The workshop and panel discussion instructors are: Anders Björklund (Neurobiology), Maria Björkqvist (Biomarkers in Brain Disease), Prof. Zaal Kokaia (Lund Stem Cell Center), Prof. Emer. Åke Nilsson (Gastroenterologi) and Prof. Emma Sparr (Physical Chemistry).
