EU Grant Writer, by Scientific Network Management
Set-up for Microsoft 365 Copilot (agent)

For work and school Microsoft 365 accounts.
1. In Microsoft Copilot (copilot.cloud.microsoft or Teams), choose New agent, then
   Skip to configure.
2. Name: EU Grant Writer by SNM. Description: see below. Paste all of instructions.txt
   into Instructions.
3. Under Knowledge, upload the five files in knowledge/ and wait until they are no longer
   greyed out. Uploading files needs a Microsoft 365 Copilot licence; with the free
