OVERVIEW OF THE SEMINAR
This online seminar focuses on the European Research Council (ERC) Funding Programme. Prospective applicants for ERC STG, COG or ADV grants will gain insights into the planning, preparation and writing of a competitive proposal. The seminar will particularly focus on the ERC Starting Grant, to meet the needs of researchers in the YEAR network. Each participant will receive a copy of the slides and materials. Questions and interaction will be facilitated during the seminar.
ABOUT ERC FUNDING
ERC provides attractive, long-term funding to support investigators and their research teams to pursue groundbreaking, high-gain and high-risk research. ERC frontier research grants are awarded on the basis of scientific excellence. Applications can be made in any field of research. Independent researchers of any age and career stage from anywhere in the world can apply. The funding supports investigators looking to set up or consolidate their own independent research team or programme, as well as to already established research leaders.
Please consider that the webinar will not be recorded and that information on the registered participants (name, email, and research area/discipline) will be shared with the speaker to help her give good examples during the presentation.
