Proudly Presents: The 2026 Covilhã 4-days Masterclass Training
The 2026 EU Masterclass:A 4 day live incubator forstronger, evaluator-readyEU proposals.
Covilhã, Portugal
Leave the manual struggle of proposal writing. Use the MILES & SCORE AI system to turn your raw idea into a submission-ready, evaluator-proof proposal before the week is over.

The Problem
The strongest 2026 proposals are built before the concept note
Most people use AI to expand a concept note into a full proposal. That improves wording, not logic.
But stronger 2026 proposals are not won at the expansion stage. They are won earlier: by building the logic first, using Behavioural Insights, planning adoption and uptake, and engineering the project's social value before the drafting begins.
What changed in 2026 — and where AI really helps
First upgrade the methodology. Then use AI to operationalise it.
Key takeaway
The table shows the real shift: stronger 2026 proposals are no longer built around outputs alone. They are built around
adoption, behaviour change, value, and a method that AI helps you apply and refine.
What Makes This Different
This is not a course about AI.
It is a working lab for stronger proposals.
This Masterclass is not built around passive listening.
You arrive with a real project idea.
You work directly on your own proposal — applying each method inside your text from the first session.
There is no separation between learning and doing.
Every concept is introduced exactly when your draft needs it, so your project develops with real evaluator logic from the start.
You do not leave with abstract notes.
You leave with
A 92+ quality, evaluator-ready proposal draft
aligned with 2026 EU criteria and structured for how proposals are actually scored
Up to 90% of your proposal completed within 4 days
developed step-by-step during the Masterclass, not after it
A clear 2026 intervention logic that connects objectives, activities, and impact
so your proposal reads as coherent, not fragmented
A project that has already been tested, challenged, and strengthened
validated before submission, not after rejection
A repeatable method to design and improve future proposals with confidence
so you don't start from zero again
30-day full access licence to Miles & Score
So you can finish your project at home after the Masterclass — or even write your next one. No extra cost, no strings attached.
The MILES + SCORE Loop
Our method - the internal refinement loop.
Design
Build the project logic in MILES.
→Draft
Shape the proposal text around evidence, structure, and evaluator needs.
→Audit
Run SCORE to identify weak assumptions, thin argumentation, unclear language, and structural gaps.
→Refine
Apply the critic action plan and improve the draft again.
→Repeat
Expect at least 4 revisions before you clear all errors. This makes a winning proposal.
Strong proposals are not written once.
They are improved in cycles until the hold together.
Your Result
What changes in four days
You stop
- guessing what the evaluator will accept
- using AI to expand weak logic
- losing time on sections that still do not convince
- hoping for the best result
You start
- building the logic before the wording
- testing assumptions before submission
- using AI to strengthen the draft, not inflate it
- submitting winning proposals
Bonus Advantage
Two “AI mentor” tools behind the training
Design in Miles. Test in Score. Refine in rounds — during the training and for 30 days after it.
The Miles–Score Loop
Miles helps you build the project logic.
Score checks weak points, missing proof, and evaluator risk.
Together, they create a revision loop that keeps improving the proposal.
Result: stronger drafts through structured iteration, not one-pass writing.
30 days of continued access
Included after the trainingfinalise your proposal

continue refining with evaluator-level precision
Result: the value continues after Zaragoza, while the logic is still fresh.
Most trainings end with information.
This one ends with a project — and the system to build more.
Why People Join
They do not want another training.
They want a faster path to stronger proposals.
The strongest participants join because they are under real pressure: deadlines, weak traditional methods, repeated rejection, and too much time lost on drafts that still feel uncertain.
What participants say after the Masterclass
Four participants. Four different backgrounds. Four concrete outcomes.
The Room
Small enough for real work.
Large enough for real partnerships.
The Masterclass is limited to 20 participants. That number is intentional. It creates enough diversity for meaningful partner conversations, while keeping the room focused, practical, and interactive.
participants maximum
Collaboration, open exchange, and peer interaction by design.

Igor Razbornik
Igor has been writing international projects for 25 years — across EU structural funds, Erasmus+, Horizon Europe, Interreg, and bilateral donor programmes. He has led more than 60 completed Erasmus+ projects.
His 5 years as an Erasmus+ evaluator give him direct knowledge of how proposals are assessed — not what the Programme Guide says matters, but what actually changes scores in a real evaluation panel.
AI was added later as a tool to support the methodology — not the other way around.

Sanja Todosijević
Sanja co-designed the Miles AI system and brings deep expertise in EU project strategy, proposal coaching, and partnership development. She leads the pre-training strategy conversations and the follow-up sessions.
In Covilhã, Sanja manages the partnership structure — the project pitching, the Bohemian Corner, and the follow-up process — so that what happens in the room turns into active project partnerships.
The partnership does not happen by accident. It is built — deliberately, session by session.

AI Project Writing Incubator · Covilhã, Portugal · 6–9 July 2026
Organised by
Hosted by
The University of Beira Interior (UBI), based in Covilhã, Portugal, is a respected public university with strong research and teaching infrastructure across scientific fields. Located in a strategic position between Lisbon, Porto, and Madrid, UBI offers an excellent environment for academic collaboration and innovation.
UBI is the official Portugal Hub for training university researchers in the WinCode system — showing how to use AI properly in research and proposal writing with the best technology currently available in Europe.
Developed by
WinCode Predictive is the architect of the 26-step project-writing methodology. Built on 25 years of international evaluation experience, the system solves the "logic gap" in modern EU grants.
While traditional training focuses on form-filling, WinCode introduces Behaviour Change Design, a discipline currently missing from the professional market but mandatory for high-scoring proposals.
Integrating Miles AI with behavioural logic (COM-B), WinCode provides the technical framework required to consistently cross the 92-point funding threshold.
