Fuckup Grants: the mistakes that make us stronger

Have you ever wondered how many grants you could have won if not for your... "fuckups"?

We have gathered real stories of grant failures to show that mistakes are not the end but the start of a new stage. Because only those who are not afraid to admit their mistakes grow stronger.

Fuckup Grants: mistakes that make us stronger is Ukraine's first show where failures in the world of grants are turned into knowledge, experience and tools for success.

What awaits participants?

- Storytelling zone, candid stories of grant failures from experts and colleagues. Told with humour, but with practical takeaways.

- Hot Seat, tell us about your challenge and get instant advice from the experts and the audience.

- FuckUp Wall, an anonymous interactive wall of your mistakes. Together we will analyse the most common grant failures.
