Webinar - ERC Grants: How to prepare your Application ?

How to apply for an ERC grant? How to write a successful proposal? How to find support? The ERC will host two info sessions for widening participation in ERC grant schemes on 6 and 12 March 2025. The sessions will provide practical guidance to researchers and research support teams based in universities or research centres. The focus will be on ERC individual grants: Starting Grants (StG), Consolidator Grants (CoG), Advanced Grants (AdG). The sessions are specifically designed for countries hosting few ERC grantees, particularly those countries covered by policies aimed at increasing their participation in Horizon Europe calls. The first session includes presentations on topics such as proposal writing, the evaluation process, the financial and ethics requirements. 

Date: Thursday, 6 March 2025, 9.30-12.00 CET
